The five lowest energy levels of hydrogen atom are calculated as shown:
- Electrons in atom are allowed to exist only in certain shells with certain energy levels.
- The energy level for an atom depends on its atomic number and principle quantum number.
- Following Bohr's theory, energy level for hydrogen like atoms is calculated as shown:
where z= atomic number of atom
n = shell number
Substituting values as shown:
- For hydrogen like atom, z= 1
- For n= 1, Energy= -13.6eV
- For n=2, Energy = -3.4eV
- For n=3, Energy= -1.51eV
- For n=4, Energy = -0.85eV
- For n=5, Energy= -0.54eV
(To convert eV to Joules, multiply the quantity with 1.602x10^-19)
