NEET Physics Hydrogen Atom MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12
Which of the following statements about the hydrogen atom is correct?
A
The ground state of the hydrogen atom corresponds to n = 1 with an energy of -13.6 eV.
B
The energy of the hydrogen atom decreases as the electron moves to higher orbits.
C
Ionization of a hydrogen atom requires energy less than 13.6 eV.
D
The electron in a hydrogen atom can never be free if it is in the ground state.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The ground state of the hydrogen atom is indeed at n = 1, with an energy of -13.6 eV, as stated in the provided context. Higher energy levels correspond to less negative energy values, indicating higher energy states.
