To solve the question step by step, we will break it down into two parts as stated in the question. ### Part (i): Kinetic Energy of an Electron in the 2nd Excited State 1. **Identify the Energy Levels**: The ground state energy of the hydrogen atom is given as \( E_1 = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \). The energy of the hydrogen atom in any state \( n \) is given by the formula: \[ E_n = \frac{-13.6}{n^2} \, \text{eV} ...
