Detailed Solution

The formula of energy is

En=-13.6eV/atom×Z2n2

For hydrogen atom Z =1.

Kinetic energy of electron K.E = 3.4eV

Then total energy of electron Etotal=-K.E

So, Etotal=-3.4eV

Then -3.4eV=-13.6eV×12n2; Then, n=2

If n = 2 , then the radius of orbit is

rn=0.529×n2A°

r2=0.529×4A°

r of 2nd orbit=2.116A°
