Question:

With the increase in principle quantum number, the energy difference between the two successive energy levels

Options:

Increases

Decreases

Remains constant

Sometimes increases and sometimes decreases

Correct Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

$E_1>E_2>E_3$

as the n increases, energy between the consecutive levels will decrease. Hence, with increasing quantum numbers the energy difference between adjacent levels in atoms decreases.
