The energy of a hydrogen atom in the first excited state is -3.4 ev. Find :(a) the radius of this orbit. (Take Bohr radius \( =0.53 A \) )(b) the angular momentum of the electron in the orbit.(c) the kinetic and potential energy of the electron in the orbit.

Answer»

Given E = -3.4 ev

Then

E = \(\frac{-13.6}{n^2}\) 

-3.4 = \(\frac{-13.6}{n^2}\) 

n2 = 4

n = 2

(a) r = \(\frac{e^2}{8\pi\varepsilon_0E_k}\)

r = \(\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_02E_k}\) 

r = \(\frac{9\times10^9\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{2\times3.4}\)

r = \(\frac{23.04\times10^{-29}}{6.8}\) 

r = 3.38 x 10-29m

(b) Angular momentum L = \(\frac{nh}{2\pi}\)

 = \(\frac{2\times h}{2\pi}\) 

L = h/π

2.1 x 10-34 JS

(c) For hydrogen atom

Kinetic energy = -(total energy)

Kinetic energy = 3.4 ev

Potential energy = -2 x K.E.

= - 2 x 3.4

P.E. = -6.8 ev
