Atomic Structure Question 194

Question: The energy of electron in first Bohr’s orbit of H-atom is -13.6 eV. What will be its potential energy in n = 4th orbit

Options:

A) -13.6eV

B) -3.4eV

C) -0.85eV

D) -1.70eV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Energy of nth orbit of H-atom =2π2me4k2h2×1h2 Energy of Boht’s orbit of H-atom =2π2me4k2h2

=13.6eV (given) Energy of fourth Bohr’s of H-atom =2π2me4k2h2×142

=13.6×116eV=0.85eV PE of electron in nth orbit = 2×En So P.E. of electron in 4th orbit =2×(0.85)=1.70eV
