The energy of an electron in the hydrogen atom is determined by the Principal shell in which the electron is present.

Explanation:

For Hydrogen atom,
$E_{n} = - \frac{2.18 \times 10^{- 18}}{n^{2}}$ $color(blue) (E_n=-(2.18xx10^(-18))/n^2)$ J/atom. [ $n \to$ $nrarr$ Principal shall no.]

So, $E_{n} \propto \frac{1}{n^{2}}$ $color(red)(E_nprop1/n^2)$ .

Hope it Helps :)
