no in stationary orbit the enegy of electron is quantised.because the angular momentum(mvr) is directly proportional to n(orbit)
En= -13.6z^2/n^2
thanks and regards

Dear student,
The stationary orbits donot give energy to electrons. It is the presence of electrons in certain energy shells/orbits makes the electrons in those orbits possess that energy.
Moreover, the orbits dont move, its the energy possessed by them due to the number of electrons which can be placed in them as well as the distance from the nucleus which gives them the energy.
Hopefully this answers your question.
Regards
Sumit
