NEET Physics Hydrogen Atom Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The ionisation energy of a hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV.
Reason (R): The lowest energy state of a hydrogen atom has an energy of -13.6 eV.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The ionisation energy is the energy required to remove the electron from the ground state, which is -13.6 eV, making the ionisation energy 13.6 eV.
