Atomic Structure Question 382
Question: The Bohr’s energy equation for H atom reveals that the energy level of a shell is given by $ E=-13.58/n^{2}eV $ . The smallest amount that an H atom will absorb if in ground state is
Options:
A) $ 1.0eV $
B) $ 3.39eV $
C) $ 6.79eV $
D) $ 10.19eV $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- The smallest value of energy of an electron in H atom in ground state can absorb is $ =E_2-E_1 $
$ =\frac{-13.58}{4}-( \frac{-13.58}{1} )=10.19 $
