The energy of the electron in the nth orbit of hydrogen atom is given by En = -13.6/n^2 eV. What is the energy of the electron in the ground state?
Q1. The energy of the electron in the nth orbit of hydrogen atom is given by En = -13.6/n^2 eV. What is the energy of the electron in the ground state?
Answer: -13.6 eV
Explanation: Ground state energy is -13.6 eV; option B is incorrect because it's the energy of a free electron.
