MCQ
The energy of the electron at infinite distance from the nucleus in Bohr’s model is taken as :
  • Zero
  • B
    Positive
  • C
    Negative
  • D
    Any value

Answer

Correct option: A.
Zero
a
Energy is represented by the formula, $E _{ n }= E _1 \times \frac{ Z ^2}{ n ^2}$ for hydrogen-like species.

$E_1$ is the energy for the hydrogen first orbit and has a negative value.

As the $n$ increases, energy increases i.e., it becomes less negative. When $n=\infty$, the electron can have a maximum energy value of zero.
