Which level of the single ionized carbon has the same energy as the ground state energy of hydrogen atom?
Solution
${E_n} = - 13.6{{{Z^2}} \over {{n^2}}}$<br><br>E<sub>n<sup>th</sup></sub> of Carbon = E<sub>1<sup>st</sup></sub> of Hydrogen<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ $- 13.6 \times {{{6^2}} \over {{n^2}}} = - 13.6 \times {{{1^2}} \over {{1^2}}}$<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ n = 6
