    The energy of an electron in nth  orbit of hydrogen atom is

    A)  \[\frac{13.6}{{{n}^{4}}}eV\]                       

    B)  \[\frac{13.6}{{{n}^{3}}}eV\]

    C)  \[-\frac{13.6}{{{n}^{2}}}eV\]                     

    D)  \[\frac{13.6}{n}eV\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Energy (E) of the electron in various Bohr?s orbits: It may be calculated from the folk formula. \[{{E}_{n}}=-\frac{2{{\pi }^{2}}m{{e}^{4}}{{Z}^{2}}}{{{n}^{2}}{{h}^{2}}}\]  (in CGS system) Where, e = charge of electron m = mass of electron n = principal quantum number 1, 2, 3 h = Planck's constant Z = number of proton present Value of Z for H-atom is 1                 \[{{E}_{n}}=\frac{-13.6{{Z}^{2}}}{{{n}^{2}}}eV/atom\]                 \[{{E}_{n}}=\frac{-13.6\times {{(1)}^{2}}}{{{n}^{2}}}\]                 \[{{E}_{n}}=-\frac{13.6}{{{n}^{2}}}eV/atom\] Negative sign show that energy of electron increases with the increase in the value of n.
