In atomic physics, the "n" value refers to the principal quantum number, which indicates the energy level of an electron in an atom and also correlates with the distance of the electron's shell from the nucleus. Higher values of "n" indicate shells that are further from the nucleus.

Given the options:

- n = 5
- n = 7
- n = 9
- n = 1

The furthest possible shell from the nucleus is the one with the highest principal quantum number, which is **n = 9**.
