The energy of electron in the first excited state of Hydrogen atom in J/atom is:
Correct answer: B. 0.545 × 10−18
- A. 2.8 × 10−18
- B. 0.545 × 10−18
- C. −2 ∙ 18 × 10−18
- D. −1312 ∙ 36
Explanation
By using the formula for the energy of an electron in the nth orbit En=-{me-4Z2/8 ε2 h2 n2} For hydrogen Z=1 and by putting values of constants also first excited state of hydrogen means, n=2 which is the second shell to which the ground state hydrogen electron has excited to. En= (-2.178×10-18)×1/n2

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
