MCQ
Supposing the energy of fourth shell for hydrogen atom is $-25\, a.u$ (arbitary unit). What would be its potential energy in ground state
  • A
    $-200$
  • B
    $-50$
  • $-800$
  • D
    $-400$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-800$
c
${E_4} = \frac{{{E_0}}}{{{n^2}}}$

$E_0 = E_4 × n^2 = -25 \times 4^2 = -400$

$PE = 2\,T.E. = -2 \times 400 = -800$
