If `13.6 eV` energy is required to ionized the hydrogen atom, then the energy required to remove an electron from `n = 2 ` is

A

`10.2eV`

B

`0eV`

C

`3.4 eV`

D

`6.8 eV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

KEY CONCEPT :
The energy of orbit of hydrogen is given by
`E_(n) = (13.6)/(n^(2))eV//atom`
`for n= 2, E_(n) = (-13.6)/(4) = -3.4 eV`
Therefore the energy required to remove electron from
`n = 2 is 3.4 eV`
