Atoms - Result Question 33

35. The energy of hydrogen atom in nth orbit is En, then the energy in nth orbit of single ionised helium atom will be

[2001]

(a) 4En

(b) En/4

(c) 2En

(d) En/2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 35. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) We have En=2π2mK2Z2e4n2h2. For helium Z=2. Hence requisite answer is 4En

The energy required to ionise an atom is called ionisation energy. It is energy required to make the electron Jump from the present orbit to the infinite orbit.

Eionisation =EEn=0(13.6Z2n2)=+13.6z2eVn2
