~A green dot in the middle of 4 concentric circles. The first away from the green dot is labeled n = 1. The second circle away from the green dot is labeled n = 2. The third circle away from the green dot is labeled n = 3 and the last is labeled n = 4. There is an arrow from n = 4 to n = 1 labeled A. There is an arrow from n = 3 to n = 2 labeled B. There is an arrow from n = 3 to n = 1 labeled C. There is an arrow from n = 2 to n = 1 labeled D.~

Answer:
option b because electron energy increses distance increases
Explanation:
hi
Answer:
The electron transition from n=1 to n=2 in an atom will require the largest amount of energy. Final answer: The correct answer is Option A= from n = 1 to n = 2. Note: Remember that if the electron transitions occur from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, energy is emitted by the atom in the form of photons.
