AI Generated Solution

To find the kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) of the electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom, we can use the known formula for the energy levels of hydrogen. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Energy Levels**: The total energy (E) of an electron in a hydrogen atom at a given energy level n is given by the formula: \[ E_n = -\frac{13.6 \, \text{eV}}{n^2} ...
