In the hydrogen atom, if the reference level of potential energy is assumed to be zero at the ground state level. Choose the incorrect statement.

Options

A. The total energy of the shell increase with increase in the value of n
B. The total energy of the shell decrease with increase in the value of n
C. The difference in total energy of any two shells remains the same
D. The total energy at the ground state become `13.6eV`

Answer

B

Explanation

`U = - (27.2eV)/(n^(2)) + C , k = (13.6eV)/(n^(2))`
`E = - (13.6 eV)/(n^(2)) + C , DeltaE = 13.6eV((1)/(n^(2)) - (1)/(m^(2)))`
here in these question `C = +27.2 eV`
