Question

The total energy (En) of the electron in the stationary states in the nth orbit of the hydrogen atom is (A) (-13.6/n) eV (B) (-13.6/n2) eV (C) (-136/n) eV (D) (-136/n2) eV

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (b) (-13.6/n2) eV

Q. The total energy $(E_{n})$ of the electron in the stationary states in the $n^{t h}$ orbit of the hydrogen atom is

$\frac{- 13.6}{n} e V$

$\frac{- 13.6}{n ^{2}} e V$

$\frac{- 136}{n} e V$

$\frac{- 136}{n ^{2}} e V$

Correct answer is (b) $\frac{- 13.6}{n ^{2}} e V$
