In a hydrogen atom, which of the following products do not depend on the principal quantum number nn? The symbols carry their standard meanings.

Options

  1. Avnvn
  2. Bvrvr
  3. CEnEn
  4. DErEr

Correct answer

D. ErEr

Step-by-step solution

For a hydrogen atom, the velocity of the electron in the nn-th orbit is given by v∝1nv \propto \dfrac{1}{n}.

The radius of the nn-th orbit is given by r∝n2r \propto n^2.

The energy of the electron in the nn-th orbit is given by E∝1n2E \propto \dfrac{1}{n^2}.

Checking the given products:

vn∝1n×n=1vn \propto \dfrac{1}{n} \times n = 1, which is independent of nn.

vr∝1n×n2=nvr \propto \dfrac{1}{n} \times n^2 = n, which depends on nn.

En∝1n2×n=1nEn \propto \dfrac{1}{n^2} \times n = \dfrac{1}{n}, which depends on nn.

Er∝1n2×n2=1Er \propto \dfrac{1}{n^2} \times n^2 = 1, which is independent of nn.

Thus, the products vnvn and ErEr do not depend on the principal quantum number nn.
