The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is 13.6eV. What are the kinetic and potential energies of the electron in this state?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given the grong state energy of hydrogen atom
E= - 13.6 eV
We know that Kinetic energy (KE) = - E = - 13.6 e V
Potential energy
(PE ) = - 2 KE = - `2xx 13.6 = - 127.2 `eV
