Question

The energy of the electron in first bohr orbit of hydrogen atom is -13.6 electron volt what will be its potential energy in an equal to fourth Orbit
Give me explanation ❤❤​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.7 eV

Explanation:

1st orbit energy=-13.6

4th orbit energy=-13.6/4²

=-13.6/16

=-0.85 eV

Now we know that PE (potential energy) = -2 TE (total energy)

So, PE = -2*(-0.85)

= 1.7 eV
