Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is −13.6 eV-13.6\text{ eV}. The energy needed to ionize hydrogen atom from its second excited state will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Second excited state is n=3n = 3: E3=−13.69=−1.51E_3 = \frac{-13.6}{9} = -1.51 eV.
  2. Ionisation energy from this state =0−E3=1.51= 0 - E_3 = 1.51 eV
  3. So the answer is (c) 1.511.51 eV.
