Consider two different hydrogen atoms. The electron in each atom is in an excited state. Is it possible for the electrons to have different energies but the same orbital angular momentum according to the Bohr model ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Bohr.s model , energy of `n^(th)` energy level is given by
`E_n=(-13.6)/n^2` eV
Also, angular momentum of electron in `n^(th)` orbit is
`mvr=(nh)/(2pi)`
Given that `E_n` is different for the two hydrogen atoms. As `E_n` is different , n must be different and hence angular momentum must be different .
