STANDARD Chemistry Bohr's Model MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
If E is the energy of nᵗʰ orbit of hydrogen atom the energy of nᵗʰ orbit of He atom will be
A
E
B
2E
C
3E
D
4E
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
Since Bohr's formula for energy in nᵗʰ orbit is Eₙ = -me⁴Z²/8ε₀²h²n², Eₙ ∝ Z². For hydrogen (₁H²), Zₕ = 1 and Eₕ = E. For helium (₂He⁴), Zₕₑ = 2. Therefore, Eₙ = (Zₕₑ/Zₕ)²Eₕ = (2)²E = 4E.
