Question:

The energy of hydrogen atom in its ground state is –13.6 eV. The energy of the level corresponding to the quantum number n is equal 5 is

Options:

–5.40 eV

–2.72 eV

–0.85 eV

–0.54 eV

Correct Answer:

–0.54 eV

Explanation:

$E_n=-\frac{13.6}{n^2} ~eV \Rightarrow E_{5}=\frac{-13.6}{5^2}=\frac{-13.6}{25}=-0.54 ~eV$
