Question:

The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is -13.6 eV. The kinetic and potential energies of the electron in this state will be

Options:

Kinetic energy of the electron = 13.6 eV; potential energy of the electron = -27.2 eV

Kinetic energy of the electron = -13.6 eV; potential energy of the electron = 27.2 eV

Kinetic energy of the electron = 13.6 eV; potential energy of the electron = -13.6 eV

Kinetic energy of the electron =-13.6 eV; potential energy of the electron =-13.6 eV

Correct Answer:

Kinetic energy of the electron = 13.6 eV; potential energy of the electron = -27.2 eV

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Kinetic energy of the electron = 13.6 eV; potential energy of the electron = -27.2 eV
