Question
mmh The electron in a hydrogen atom is in the first excited state, when the electron acquires an additional 2.86 eV of energy. What is the quantum number n of the state into which the electron moves?
Step 1
6 \times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}$, where $Z$ is the atomic number and $n$ is the quantum number. In this problem, the electron is in the first excited state, which means $n=2$. Show more…
