Question:
If energy of an electron in the first orbit is -13.6 eV, then predict the amount of energy required to transfer it to the fourth orbit.
If energy of an electron in the first orbit is -13.6 eV, then predict the amount of energy required to transfer it to the fourth orbit.
Show Hint
To find the energy required to move an electron between orbits, use the formula \( E_n = - \frac{13.6}{n^2} \).

The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The energy of an electron in the nth orbit is given by:
\[ E_n = - \frac{13.6}{n^2} \, \text{eV}. \] The energy in the first orbit (\(n = 1\)) is: \[ E_1 = - \frac{13.6}{1^2} = -13.6 \, \text{eV}. \] The energy in the fourth orbit (\(n = 4\)) is: \[ E_4 = - \frac{13.6}{4^2} = - \frac{13.6}{16} = -0.85 \, \text{eV}. \] The energy required to transfer the electron from the first orbit to the fourth orbit is: \[ \Delta E = E_4 - E_1 = -0.85 - (-13.6) = 12.75 \, \text{eV}. \]
