how does the potential energy change with increase in principal quantum number ( n ) for an electron and why ?
Dear student,
The potential energy of the electron varies with the principle quantum number as follows:
This implies that as the principle quantum number increases, the potential energy decreases.
Hope this clears your doubts.
