About this document
Hydrogen Atom Energy Levels Explained by mohamed is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the energy level diagram of the hydrogen atom. It provides the formula to calculate the energy (En) of an electron in the nth orbit of a hydrogen atom. It then calculates the energy values for the first 4 excited states. The energy becomes less negative as the principal quantum number (n) increases. The energy of the ground state is -13.6 eV for n=1. The diagram shows the hydrogen atom has discrete energy levels rather than a continuous range of energies.
