In the Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the total

In the Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the total energy of the electron in nth quantum state is

Options

(a) (-1)
(b) (+1)
(c) (-2)
(d) (+2)

Correct Answer:

(-1)

Explanation:

In Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom, the kinetic energy of the electron in nᵗʰ state is given by
K = me⁴ / 8ε₀²h²n² = (13.6 / n²) eV
where, me⁴ / 8ε₀²h² = 13.6 eV
The potential energy of electron in nᵗʰ state is given by
U = -2me⁴ / 8ε₀²h²n² = (-27.2 / n²) eV
Total energy of electron in nᵗʰ state is given by
E = K + U = (me⁴ / 8ε₀²h²n² ) – (2me⁴ / 8ε₀²h²n²)
E = -me⁴ / 8ε₀²h²n² = (-13.6 / n ²) eV
.·. K / E = -1
