Question

what is the total energy, potential energy, kinetic energy of an electron in the nth shell in an atom of atomic no.Z? give the values in form of n and Z please...... thanks! :)

Answer 1

Kinetic energy of electron moving in n shell of orbital is given by=Ze²/4π∈o 2r
Total energy is given by=-Ze²/4π∈o 2r
Potential energy is given by=-Ze²/4π∈o r
simply for memorize
K.E=Ze²/4π∈o2r
T.E=-K.E
P.E=-2K.E
