Question
How will the energy of a hydrogen atom change if n increases from 1 to ∞?
Advertisements
Solution
`"E"_"n" ∝ (-1)/"n"^2`
Energy is minimum at n = 1
As n increases, the energy becomes less negative, which means energy increases.

Hydrogen atom has only one electron, so mutual repulsion between electrons is absent. However, in multielectron atoms mutual repulsion between the electrons is significant. How does this affect the energy of an electron in the orbitals of the same principal quantum number in multielectron atoms?
The inverse square law in electrostatics is |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0).r^2)` for the force between an electron and a proton. The `(1/r)` dependence of |F| can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the ‘particle’ of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass mp, force would be modified to |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0)r^2) [1/r^2 + λ/r]`, exp (– λr) where λ = mpc/h and h = `h/(2π)`. Estimate the change in the ground state energy of a H-atom if mp were 10-6 times the mass of an electron.
