Which of the following statements about the electronic structure of atoms is true?
The main energy levels are divided into sublevels which are further divided into orbitals.
What is the relationship between the main energy levels of an atom and the energy of its electrons?
The main energy levels of an atom determine the energy of its electrons.
What is the function of the orbitals in the electronic structure of an atom?
To describe the region where an electron is likely to be found.
How do the sublevels of an atom relate to the main energy levels?
The sublevels are the energy states within a main energy level.
