question 35

Essay

The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom states that the single electron can exist only in certain permitted orbits around the proton. The radius of each Bohr orbit is r = n²(0.051 nm), where n = 1, 2, 3,…. Calculate the change in electric potential energy of a hydrogen atom when the electron makes a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 1 orbit. Express your answer in electron volts.
