To determine the number of different energy states that hydrogen can have with an energy level of 5.00 eV, we need to understand the concept of energy levels in hydrogen.
Hydrogen energy levels are described by the quantized values of energy, which typically come in discrete multiples of a fundamental unit known as the Rydberg constant (symbolized as R). The Rydberg constant for hydrogen is approximately 13.6 eV.
The energy levels of hydrogen can be determined using the formula:
En = -13.6 eV/n²,
where En is the energy level, and n is the principal quantum number.
To find the energy levels of hydrogen with an energy of 5.00 eV, we can rearrange the formula as follows:
n² = -13.6 eV / En.
Substituting the given energy value, we have:
n² = -13.6 eV / 5.00 eV.
Now let's calculate the value of n by taking the square root of both sides of the equation:
n = √(-13.6 eV / 5.00 eV).
Evaluating the expression using a calculator:
n ≈ √(-2.72) ≈ 1.65 (approximately).
Since the principal quantum number (n) must be a positive integer, we'll consider the two closest integers to 1.65, which are 1 and 2. Therefore, hydrogen has two different energy states with an energy of 5.00 eV. These states correspond to the principal quantum numbers 1 and 2.
Note that in hydrogen, the energy levels have additional sub-levels and orbitals within each energy level, but for this question, we focused on the overall energy states determined by the principal quantum numbers.
