How far from the nucleus is the electron in a hydrogen atom if its energy of -0.850 electron volt |
|
Answer» Explanation: The FORMULA defining the energy levels of a Hydrogen ATOM are given by the equation: E = -E0/n2, where E0 = 13.6 eV (1 eV = 1.602×10-19Joules) and n = 1,2,3… and so on. The energy is expressed as a negative number because it takes that much energy to UNBIND (IONIZE) the electron from the NUCLEUS. |
