Questions
In Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, let PE represent potential energy and TE the total energy. In going to a higher orbit,
a
PE increases, TE decreases
b
PE decreases, TE increases
c
PE increases, TE increases
d
PE decreases, TE decreases
detailed solution
Correct option is C
PE=2TE=-αn2 [where α is some constant]With higher orbit, as r increases , n increases. So, both become less negative; hence both PE and TE increases.Talk to our academic expert!
