Question

In Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the lowest orbit corresponds to(a) Infinite energy(b) The maximum energy(c) The minimum energy(d) Zero energy

Answer 1

Answer:

Option b is the correct answer.

Explanation.

The maximum energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

In Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the lowest orbit corresponds to a minimum energy.

Explanation:

Energy of the electron in each orbital is calculated by

E(n) = - 13.6/n^2  eV

Here, Energy is always negative.

In Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, lowest orbital is denoted by the value n=1.

So, -13.6 eV  is the least possible energy, at the lowest orbital.

When the value of n increases from lower to higher orbit, then the energy gets larger correspondingly.
