I have read this in my book:
In solids, very large numbers of atoms are squeezed into a small volume and there is considerable interaction between them. As a result, all the electrons traveling in the first orbits will have slightly different energy levels because no two of them will see exactly the same charge environment.
Can anyone explain simply? Why interaction between them make the different enery levels?
