    If n is the orbit number of the electron in a hydrogen atom, the correct statement among the following is

    A)  Electron energy increases as n increases.

    B)  Hydrogen emits infrared rays for the electron transition from \[n=\infty \] to \[n=1\].

    C)  Electron energy is zero for \[n=1\].

    D)  Electron energy varies as \[{{n}^{2}}\].

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : In a hydrogen atom the energy of electron in \[{{n}^{th}}\] orbit is \[{{E}_{n}}=-\frac{13.6}{{{n}^{2}}}eV\] From the above expression it is clear that electron energy increases as n increases.
