As the principal energy level increases in an atom's orbitals, the average distance of an electron energy level from the nucleus "Increases"

Hope this helps!

In an atomic orbital, with the increase in the principal energy level, the average distance of an electron energy level from the nucleus also increases.  

• The levels of energy can be changed by an electron but only in quanta or steps, that is, this does not take place in spontaneous increments.  

• As the electron moves farther from the nucleus, its level of energy increases. The lower the principal energy level number, the closer the electrons are towards each other and towards the nucleus of the atom.  

• The energy of an electron relies upon its location with respect to the atom's nucleus. The more the energy of an electron, the more it will be farther from the nucleus.  

Thus, as the principal energy level increases in the orbitals of an atom, the average distance of an electron energy level from the nucleus increases.
