Question
Chapter 28, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Whether the statement ‘in the hydrogen atom, the energy is specified by the principal quantum number’ is true or false.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1RQ
True.
Explanation of Solution
The quantum number that indirectly describes the size of electron orbital is defined as the principal quantum number. It is denoted by
The energy of electron is mostly affected by the principal quantum number. The energy level of electron is completely determined by the principal quantum number.
Conclusion:
Thus, the statement ‘in the hydrogen atom, the energy is specified by the principal quantum number’ is true.
