Question

the energy of an electron in nth orbit is given by
En = -13 6/n2 eV Calculate the energy
required to take an electron from ground state to the
3rd excited state

Jyoti Pant · Accepted Answer

The energy of electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom is -13
6 eV
â€‹The energy required to take an electron from ground state to the thirs excited state is given by,E3=-[13
642]-[-13 6]=-0 85+13 60=12 75 eV

the energy of an electron in nth orbit is given by En = -13.6/n2 eV. Calculate the energy required to take an electron from ground state to the 3rd excited state.

the energy of an electron in n^thorbit is given by E_n = -13.6/n²eV. Calculate the energy required to take an electron from ground state to the 3^rdexcited state.
