Atoms Ques 22

22. The total energy of electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom is $-13.6 eV$. The kinetic energy of an electron in the first excited state is [2007]

(a) $6.8 eV$

(b) $13.6 eV$

(c) $1.7 eV$

(d) $3.4 eV$.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 22.(d)

Solution:

  1. (d) Energy in the first excited state

$=\frac{-13.6}{n^{2}}=\frac{-13.6}{2^{2}}=-3.4 eV$

But K.E. $=-($ Total energy $)=+3.4 eV$.
