Verified by ExpertsD
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Energy can have positive or negative values. In the atom the electrons are bound. The negative energy of the revolving electrons does not allow the electrons to leave the atom. That the electrons are bound within the atom is indicated by the energy being negative.
