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 ?s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, it can not be like that because total energy of electron in the `n^(th)` energy level of H-atom is
`E_(n)=-(13.6)/(n^(2))eV`
`rArr` If values of `E_(n)` are different then values of n will also be different.
Now, `l_(n)=(nh)/(2pi) rArr ` If values of n are different then values of angular momentum `l_(n)` would also be different.
