NEET Physics Hydrogen Atom MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Which of the following statements about the hydrogen atom is correct?
A
The energy of the electron in the first orbit is the lowest at -13.6 eV.
B
The ionization energy of the hydrogen atom is greater than 13.6 eV.
C
Electrons can occupy any energy state below E = 0 eV.
D
The ground state of the hydrogen atom corresponds to n = 2.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The energy of the electron in the first orbit (n = 1) is indeed the lowest at -13.6 eV, making option A correct. The ionization energy is 13.6 eV, not greater, and the ground state corresponds to n = 1, not n = 2.
