4. The energy of each orbit increases with increase in the distance
of orbit from the nucleus i.e. energy of K shell < L-shell < M -
shell < N shell.
5. When electron jumps from lower energy state to higher energy
state it absorbs energy. Electron emitts energy if it jumps from
higher energy state to lower energy state.

and hydro gen like atoms with his postulates.
