Question

The energy of the electron in the nth orbit of hydrogen atom is:
  1. A
    -13.6/n² eV
    Correct
  2. B
    -13.6n² eV
  3. C
    13.6/n² eV
  4. D
    -13.6/n eV

Correct answer

-13.6/n² eV

Explanation

En = −13.6Z²/n² eV. For hydrogen (Z=1): En = −13.6/n² eV. The negative sign indicates bound state.
