Question 438: Atoms & Nuclei

Question

According to Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom, the total energy of the electron in the $\mathrm{n}^{	ext {th }}$ stationary orbit is

Accepted Answer

According to Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom, the equation for total energy of the electron in the $\mathrm{n}^{	ext {th }}$ stationary orbit is,
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{-m \mathrm{Z}^2 \mathrm{e}^4}{8 \varepsilon_0{ }^2 \mathrm{~h}^2 \mathrm{n}^2} \
	herefore \quad & \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{n}} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{n}^2}
\end{aligned}$

Answer

directly proportional to $n$

Answer

inversely proportional to $n$

Answer

directly proportional to $\mathrm{n}^2$

Answer

inversely proportional to $\mathrm{n}^2$
