When an electron in a hydrogen atom is in the 𝑛=3 state, is it on average closer to, farther from, or the same distance to the nucleus than in the ground state?

Question

When an electron in a hydrogen atom is in the 𝑛=3 state, is it on average closer to, farther from, or the same distance to the nucleus than in the ground state?



1. the same
2. farther
3. closer

Does it take more, less, or the same amount of energy to ionize a hydrogen atom (eject an electron) in the 𝑛=3 state than one in which the electron is in the ground state?

1. same
2. less
3. more
