What is the trend of energy of Bohr’s orbits?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Energy of the orbit increases as we move away from the nucleus.
According to Bohr's theory, the energy of electron in 
Bohr's orbit of H -atom or hydrogen-like atoms/ions is given by:
where 
and 
atomic number, 
orbit
Thus, 
Energy of orbit becomes less negative as 
increases. Or / Energy of orbit increases as we move away from the nucleus
