what type of energies can an electron have while revolving around the nucles of an atom?
Answers
When trapped by the potential it releases the energy in the form of a photon, whose energy will depend on which energy level the electron lands. When caught in a higher orbital it will still have some potential energy until it falls to the ground state by photon emission
Answer:
Energy levels corresponding to values such that the orbital angular momentum of revolving electrons comes out to be an integral multiple of the factor h/2π where h is the Planck's constant, this fact is straight forward from the theory of matter waves or electron as a standing wave.
After all the classical mathematics, it's derived that the magnitude of energy shells comes out to be
-13.6 Z^2 /n^2 electron volt
where Z is the atomic number of the element and n takes up any natural number as it's value.
Also, remember, the most important fact that this is valid only for one electron multiple proton systems only.
Hope this helps you !
