Since we know that, energy of hydrogen atom is E=13.6Z2n2

where, Z is the atomic number and n is the energy state.

 For hydrogen atom, Z=1 and n=1

E=13.6(1)212E=13.6eV(i) For carbon atom, Z=6, n=?E=13.6(6)2n2.ii

According to question, carbon has same energy as the ground state energy of hydrogen atom.

 From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get 13.6=13.6(6)2n2n2=62n=6
