Answer:

by Koopman's approximation theorem for atoms with 1 valence electron. ... That tells us that the energy levels converge (and become more numerous) as the atom size increases. (By inference, sodium has a 2s orbital energy that is even more negative.) Therefore, H atom has the highest energy for its 2s orbital by analogy.

Thanks
