Detailed Solution

We know that principal quantum number represent the main energy level or energy shell. Since each energy level is associated with a definite amount of energy, this quantum number determines to a large extent the energy of an electron. It also determines the average distance of an electron around the nucleus. Therefore both statement 1 and statement 2 are true .
