JEE AdvancedPhysicsAtoms and NucleiMCQ+3 / −1
In a mixture of H - He +^++ gas (He +^++ is singly ionized He atom), H atoms and He +^++ ions are excited to their respective first excited states. Subsequently, H atoms transfer their total excitation energy to He +^++ ions (by collisions). Assume that the Bohr model of atom is exactly valid.The ratio of the kinetic energy of the n=2n=2n=2 electron for the H atom to that of He +^++ ion is

Correct answer: A

  1. Kinetic energy in Bohr model

For a hydrogen-like atom, the total energy of the electron in the nthn^{\text{th}}nth orbit is En=−13.6Z2n2 eVE_n = -\frac{13.6 Z^2}{n^2}\,\text{eV}En​=−n213.6Z2​eV where ZZZ is the atomic number.

In the Bohr model, Kn=−En=13.6Z2n2 eVK_n = -E_n = \frac{13.6 Z^2}{n^2}\,\text{eV}Kn​=−En​=n213.6Z2​eV so the kinetic energy of the electron in orbit nnn is directly proportional to Z2n2\dfrac{Z^2}{n^2}n2Z2​.


  1. Find kinetic energy for H atom at n=2n=2n=2

For hydrogen, Z=1Z=1Z=1. Thus, KH,n=2=13.6(1)222=13.64K_{H,n=2} = \frac{13.6(1)^2}{2^2} = \frac{13.6}{4}KH,n=2​=2213.6(1)2​=413.6​


  1. Find kinetic energy for He+^++ ion at n=2n=2n=2

For He+^++, it is a hydrogen-like ion with Z=2Z=2Z=2. Thus, KHe+,n=2=13.6(2)222=13.6K_{He^+,n=2} = \frac{13.6(2)^2}{2^2} = 13.6KHe+,n=2​=2213.6(2)2​=13.6


  1. Take the ratio

KH,n=2KHe+,n=2=13.6/413.6=14\frac{K_{H,n=2}}{K_{He^+,n=2}} = \frac{13.6/4}{13.6} = \frac{1}{4}KHe+,n=2​KH,n=2​​=13.613.6/4​=41​


  1. Answer

Therefore, the required ratio is 14\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}41​​ So, Option A is correct.


  1. Comparison with stored answer
