Energy nth orbit, -k/(n)2 ;k:constnt, then as n increases how can the | energy | increase?

Expert Answer
The enrgy of the n = (infinity) level is the highest since it has the highest potential energy.
This is taken as E = 0
As we come closer towards the nucleus, the enrgy decreases and hence becomes negative.
The negative sign is of significance here.
Energy nth orbit, -k/(n)2 ;k:constnt, t
Since as n increases the deniminatotr will increase. So, the fraction will decraese.
But since the negative sign is there, it menas that E is increasing
For example: -3< -2
