An electron is excited from the ground state to the n 5 3

Chapter 12, Problem 12.48

(choose chapter or problem)

An electron is excited from the ground state to the n 5 3 state in a hydrogen atom. Which of the following statements are true? Correct any false statements. a. It takes more energy to ionize (remove) the electron from n 5 3 than from the ground state. b. The electron is farther from the nucleus on average in the n 5 3 state than in the ground state. c. The wavelength of light emitted if the electron drops from n 5 3 to n 5 2 is shorter than the wavelength of light emitted if the electron falls from n 5 3 to n 5 1. d. The wavelength of light emitted when the electron returns to the ground state from n 5 3 is the same as the wavelength of light absorbed to go from n 5 1 to n 5 3. e. The first excited state corresponds to n 5 3.
