- This probably is a dumb question, but I need to understand the reason instead of just accepting it.
While studying photon emission, I noticed that I never really understood why the higher energy level is farther from the center of the atom. To me it seems counterintuitive, because usually the forces of attraction are greater at shorter distances, which would imply a higher energy consumption to remove an electron near the nucleus, not the opposite.
Thanks for the help/answer!
