Atomic Structure Question 182

Question: Which statement is true-

Options:

A) Spacing between energy levels n =1 and n = 2 in hydrogen atom is greater than that of n=2 and n = 3

B) Spacing between energy levels n = 1 and n = 2 in hydrogen atom is equal to that n = 2 and n = 3

C) Spacing between energy levels n = 1 and n =3 in hydrogen atom is less than that of n=2 and n = 3

D) None

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • En=13.6Z2n2eV

ΔE12=13.622+13.612=10.2eV

ΔE23=13.632+13.622=1.9eV

on moving from lower value of n to higher value of energy difference between successive energy levels decreases.
