Q3 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 2) · Chemistry
With increasing Principal Quantum number, the energy difference between adjacent energy levels in H-atom
- Correct answerADecreases
- BIncreases
- Cremain constant
- Ddecreases at low level of ' ' \& increases for higher value of ' '
Solution
Therefore the energy difference between energy level,
Energy formula for the hydrogen atom is :-
principle quantum Number
so when increases
decreases.
Change in energy is inversely proportional to the increase in the principle quantum number.
Hence, with increasing Principal Quantum number, the energy difference between adjacent energy levels in atom decreases.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
