Question
The energy of an electron in the nth orbit of the hydrogen atom is En = -13.6/n2eV. The negative sign of energy indicates that ______.
Options
electron is free to move.
electron is bound to the nucleus.
the kinetic energy of the electron is equal to the potential energy of the electron.
atom is radiating energy.
Solution
The energy of an electron in the nth orbit of the hydrogen atom is En = -13.6/n2eV. The negative sign of energy indicates that the electron is bound to the nucleus.
