Question
In the hydrogen atom, if the reference level of potential energy is assumed to be zero at the ground state level. Choose the incorrect statement.
Options
A.The total energy of the shell increases with increase in the value of n
B.The total energy of the shell decrease in the value of n
C.The difference in total energy of any two shells remains the same The total energy at the ground state becomes 13.6 eV
D.The total energy at the ground state becomes 13.6 eV
Solution
U = - 
k = 
E = -
+ C ᐃE = 13.6eV 
here in these question V = + 27.2 eV
k = E = -
+ C ᐃE = 13.6eV here in these question V = + 27.2 eV
