Question
Which of the following statements is correct about the ionization energy of a hydrogen atom in Bohr’s
model?
Explanation
**Bohr's stationary orbits** defined by angular momentum quantization L = n ħ, ħ = h/2π, n=1 ground state, electron in these orbits does not radiate despite acceleration, contrary to classical EM theory which predicts atom collapse due to energy loss via radiation, Bohr postulates to explain observed stability and discrete spectra. The ionization energy is the energy required to remove the electron from the ground state ( n = 1 , -13.6 eV) to infinity (0 eV), which is 13.6 eV. Using E_n = -13.6/n² eV, r_n = n² a₀, L = n h/2π, R = R₀ A^¹/³, BE = Δm c² and 1 u
