Question

Kinetic energy of an electron decreases with the increase of
distance of its orbit from the nucleus But the total energy
increases Explain why
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ANY LINKS

Dear Expert,
what is why is it said No??? It
is already said in the question that the K E decreases in going
from a inner shell to outer shell But it was asked that why the
total energy increases? So please answer that question

Dear Student,

Total energy of electron nth is given by the equationE=-13
6n2Z2  and Kinetic energy will be K=E=13
6n2Z2If value of n increses distance from the  nucleous increses hence KE decreases but Total energy increases because total enegy is negative and for negative no's lower magnitude indicate higher value
(like ,-2 is greater than -5)
