The energy of an electron in the 3rd orbit of an atom is `-E`. The energy of an electron in the first orbit will beA. `-3E`B. `- E/3`C. `- E/9`D. `-9E`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`E_3=-E=-13.6xxZ^2/3^2`
`rArr -E=E_0xxZ^2/9` [where `E_0`=-13.6]
`rArr E_0 =(-9E)/Z^2` ...(i)
According to question,
`E_1=-13.6 xx Z^2 /1^2 =E_0xxZ^2`
`=(-9E)/Z^2 xxZ^2 rArr E_1 = -9E`
