AI Generated Solution

To calculate the kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) of an electron in a hydrogen atom in its ground state, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the total energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom According to Bohr's theory, the total energy (E) of an electron in a hydrogen atom is given by the formula: \[ E = -\frac{13.6 Z^2}{n^2} \text{ eV} \] For hydrogen, the atomic number \(Z = 1\) and in the ground state, the principal quantum number \(n = 1\). ...
