The energy of an electron in the first Bohr orbit of hydrogen atom is \(-2.18×10^{-18}J\). Its energy in the third Bohr orbit is ____.
- One third of this value
- \(\frac{1}{9}\) th of this value
- Three times of this value
- \(\frac{1}{27}\) of this value
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The energy of an electron in the \( n \)-th Bohr orbit is given by the formula: \[ E_n = \frac{-13.6 \, \text{eV}}{n^2}. \] For the first orbit (\( n = 1 \)): \[ E_1 = \frac{-13.6}{1^2} = -13.6 \, \text{eV}. \] For the third orbit (\( n = 3 \)): \[ E_3 = \frac{-13.6}{3^2} = \frac{-13.6}{9} = -1.51 \, \text{eV}. \] Hence, the energy in the third orbit is \( \frac{1}{9} \) of the energy in the first orbit.
Top Questions on Bohr’s Model for Hydrogen Atom
- Consider an electron in the $ n = 3 $ orbit of a hydrogen-like atom with atomic number $ Z $. At absolute temperature $ T $, a neutron having thermal energy $ k_B T $ has the same de Broglie wavelength as that of this electron. If this temperature is given by $$ T = \frac{Z^2 h^2}{\alpha \pi^2 a_0^2 m_N k_B} $$ (where $ h $ is Planck’s constant, $ k_B $ is Boltzmann’s constant, $ m_N $ is the mass of the neutron, and $ a_0 $ is the Bohr radius), then the value of $ \alpha $ is ___.
