Concept introduction:
Principal Quantum Number (n): In an atom, the electron energy mainly depends on principal quantum number. The energy of an electron becomes lower when the value of n is smaller. The orbital size also depends on n. The size of orbital increases with increase in value of principal quantum number (n)
Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l): It helps to differentiate different shapes of orbitals for given n. For a given n, there are n different shapes of orbitals are present and are denoted as l. Angular momentum quantum number is also known as Azimuthal quantum number.

This ion is a one-electron species like a neutral hydrogen atom. Calculate the energy of the photon emitted for the transition from the n = 5 to the n = 3 state in this ion using the equation: En = − Z2/n2 (2.179 × 10−18 J). Z is the positive charge of the nucleus and n is the principal quantum number. In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does this radiation lie?arrow_forward
