ChemistryStructure of AtomJEE Main

The energy of an electron in the ground state of H atom is eV. How many of the below mentioned values are possible for excited state of this electron according to Bohr atomic model? eV, eV, eV, eV, eV, eV, eV, eV

Answer: 2

Solution

Allowed energies for the hydrogen atom are only eV for positive integers (an excited state means ), and the energy can never be positive (the electron is bound) except in the limit (, ionization). Checking each value against : $n=2⇒
