Kinetic energy of electron is- KE-13-6Z2n2eVFor -xA0-the first excited state of the-xA0-hydrogen atom- n-2 and Z-1-x2234-KE-13-622-3-4eVTotal energy - E-KE-PE-x21D2-x2212-3-4-3-4-PE-x2234-PE-x2212-6-8-xA0-eV

The total energy of an electron in the first excited state of the hydrogen atom is -3.4 eV. Find out its (i) kinetic energy and (ii) potential energy in this state.

Kinetic energy of electron is, $K E = \frac{13.6 Z^{2}}{n^{2}} e V$
For the first excited state of the hydrogen atom, $n = 2$ and $Z = 1$
$∴ K E = \frac{13.6}{2^{2}} = 3.4 e V$
Total energy , $E = K E + P E \Rightarrow - 3.4 = 3.4 + P E$
$∴ P E = - 6.8 e V$
