  1. Question 1

    Q1. The energy of an electron in an atom is quantized, meaning it can only take on certain discrete values. This is a consequence of

    • A) Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
    • B) de Broglie's hypothesis
    • C) Schrödinger equation
    • D) Pauli Exclusion Principle

    Answer: Schrödinger equation

    Explanation: Schrödinger equation leads to quantized energy levels; Heisenberg's principle relates to measurement uncertainty.
