Concept explainers
Interpretation: The feature of energy levels of hydrogen due to which only certain values of energy are allowed is to be given.
Concept introduction: In an atom, the electrons revolve around the nucleus in levels called the energy levels.
Answer to Problem 60A
The energy levels of hydrogen atom are quantized.
Explanation of Solution
This postulate was given by Bohr in his atomic theory. It stated that energy levels in an atom are quantized due to which electrons can possess certain discrete energy values and the values in between these discrete values are not allowed. Also that each energy level can have a fixed number of electrons which is given by
The energy levels of hydrogen atom are quantized.
