In the hydrogen atom the radius of orbit B is nine times greater than the radius of orbit A. The total energy of the electron in orbit A is -3.40 eV. What is the total energy of the electron in orbit B?
In the hydrogen atom , radius = 0.529 * n2
As, the radius of orbit B is nine times greater than the radius of orbit A.
=> nB = 3 * nA
As, energy of electron = - 13.6 eV/n2
=> the total energy of the electron in orbit B = - 3.40 eV/9
= - 0.377 eV
