NEET Chemistry Bohr's Model MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

For a hydrogen atom, if the energy associated with the first orbit is -2.18 × 10^-18 J, what is the energy of the electron in the third orbit?

A

-2.42 × 10^-19 J

B

-7.24 × 10^-19 J

C

-9.69 × 10^-20 J

D

-1.21 × 10^-19 J

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The energy of an electron in the nth orbit can be calculated using the formula E_n = -2.18 × 10^-18 J/n^2. For n = 3, E_3 = -2.18 × 10^-18 J/9 = -2.42 × 10^-19 J.
