ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Most of the atoms the energy of electron is depends on its angular momentum (l) and principal quantum number.
And the total energy of an atom is not only depend on the sum of the energies of the orbitals and also depends on the energies of repulsion between the electrons in the orbitals.
