Question:

To remove an electron from the first orbit to infinity of hydrogen atom, the amount of energy required will be:

Options:

-13.6 eV

13.6 eV

-3.4 eV

3.4 eV

Correct Answer:

13.6 eV

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 13.6 eV

Energy Needed $(ΔE)=E_f-E_i$

$=E_∞-E_1$

$=0-(-13.6)=13.6eV$

as, At $n=∞$, the energy $E_∞=0eV$
