Which of the following electronic transitions in hydrogen atom will require the highest energy?
Options
- An =4 to n =5
- Bn =1 to n =2
- Cn =3 to n =5
- Dn =2 to n =3
Correct answer
B. n =1 to n =2
Step-by-step solution
A transition from ground state or a state that has the electron closest to the nucleus, will require the highest amount of energy. Thus, n =1 n =2 requires the highest energy.
