Sagot :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

As increases, the electron will be at a higher energy and less tightly bound to the nucleus. If we look at the principal quantum number of the three electrons, we can see that electron number (2) has the highest principal quantum number and will therefore have the highest energy.
