MCQ
The energy of the electron in the first orbit of $He^+$ is $-871.6 \times 10^{-20}\, J$. The energy of the electron in the first orbit of hydrogen would be
  • A
    $ - 871.6 \times {10^{ - 20}}\,J$
  • B
    $ - 435.8 \times {10^{ - 20}}\,J$
  • $ - 217.9 \times {10^{ - 20}}\,J$
  • D
    $ - 108.9 \times {10^{ - 20}}\,J$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$ - 217.9 \times {10^{ - 20}}\,J$
c
Energy is directly proportional to the square of atomic number.

$\frac{E_{H}}{E_{H e+}}=\frac{Z_{H}^{2}}{Z_{H e+}^{2}}$

$E_{H}=\frac{Z_{H}^{2}}{Z_{H e+}^{2}} \times E_{H e+}$

$E_{H}=\frac{1^{2}}{2^{2}} \times-871.6 \times 10^{-20} J$

$E_{H}=\frac{1^{2}}{2^{2}} \times-871.6 \times 10^{-20} J$

$E_{H}=-217.9 \times 10^{-20} J$
