Question

The energy associated with the first orbit in the hydrogen atom is -2.18×10^-18 j atom-1. what is the energy associated with the fourth orbit

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrons have a set number of orbitals, ring-like paths around the nucleus, they can travel in called stationary states. If the electron stays in one orbital, the energy of the electron remains constant. The first orbital is n=1, the second orbital n=2 and so on.
