Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

If 13.6 eV13.6\text{ eV} energy is required to ionize the hydrogen atom, then the energy required to remove an electron from n=2n = 2 is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Energy to remove electron from level nn =13.6n2= \frac{13.6}{n^2} eV.
  2. n=2n = 2: 13.64=3.4\frac{13.6}{4} = 3.4 eV
  3. So the answer is (c) 3.43.4 eV.
