Here, the top and bottom of the cell are regular hexongonas and threeatoms are sandwiched inbetween them. A space filling model of this structure called haxagonal closed packed (HCP) is constituted of a sphere on a flat surface surrounded in the same plane by six identical spheres as closely as possible . Three spheres are then placed over the first layer so that they touch each other and represent the second layer. Finally, the second layer is covered with a third layer that is identical to the bottom layer that is identical to the bottom layer in relative position. Assume radius of every sphere to be 'r'.

In H-atoms, the energy of electron in the nth orbit is given as E_(n) = - (13.6)/(n^(2)) eV Show that E_((n +1)) - E_(n) = (13.6 xx 2)/(n^(3)) eV for large value of n.

Answer»

Solution :`E_((n +1)) - E_(n) = - (13.6)/((n +1)^(2)) - (-(13.6)/(n^(2))) = 13.6 [(1)/(n^(2)) - (1)/((n +1)^(2))] = 13.6 xx ((n +1)^(2)- n^(2))/(n^(2) (n +1)^(2))`
`= (13.6 xx (2N +1))/(n^(2) (n +1)^(2)) = (13.6 xx 2n)/(n^(2) (n +1)^(2)) + (13.6)/(n(n + 1)^(2)) =(13.6 xx 2)/(n(n +1)^(2)) + (13.6)/(n^(2) (n + 1)^(2))`
As n is LARGE, `n + 1 ~=n`. HENCE, `E_((n +1)) - E_(n) ~= (13.6 xx 2)/(n xx n^(2)) + (13.6)/(n^(2) xx n^(2)) = (13.6 xx 2)/(n^(3))` (Neglecting second term because `n^(4)` is very large)
