Electron Configuration

Question 1

If you move an electron from the 5th energy level to the 3rd energy level, is energy needed to do this, or is energy lost?

Answer 1

Energy is lost because the el farther away have more energy and you have to get rid of some of the energy for he electron to move to a lower el

Question 2

If you move an electron from the 6th el to the 7th el, is energy needed to do this, or is energy lost?

Answer 2

Energy is gained because higher el need more energy, so you have to add energy to move an electron up
