Question

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the total energy of the electron in a quantum state n is

Solution

Correct option is

–1

The total energy of electron bound to an atom is negative and is the sum of its P.E. and K.E. The magnitude of the P.E. is twice that of the K.E. (as per the Bohr model) but since the P.E. is – ve, we have

The total energy = (–2K) + (K) = –K            

(K = Kinetic energy). Hence  

total energy : kinetic energy = –1 : 1 = –1.
