(i) The energy associated with the first orbit in the hydrogen atom is –⁻¹⁸ J atom⁻¹. What is the energy associated with the fifth orbit? (ii) Calculate the radius of Bohr’s fifth orbit for hydrogen atom.
(i)
Answer
J atom
(ii)
Answer
1322.5 pm
Explanation
The energy of an electron in the orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by , where J. The radius of the orbit is given by , where pm. By substituting into these formulas, we can find the energy and radius of the fifth orbit.
