    In hydrogen atom, if the difference in the energy of the electron in \[n=2\] and \[n=3\] orbits is E, the ionization energy of hydrogen atom is       

    A) 13.2 E

    B) 7.2 E

    C) 5.6 E

    D) 3.2 E

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b)           Energy \[=0.0258\ amu\]      (K = constant)
    n1 = 2 and n2 = 3, so \[E=K\left[ \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{3}^{2}}} \right]=K\left[ \frac{5}{36} \right]\]
    For removing an electron n1 = 1 to \[{{n}_{2}}=\infty \]
    Energy \[{{E}_{1}}=K[1]=\frac{36}{5}E=7.2\ E\]
    \[\therefore \]Ionization energy = 7.2 E
