Question

An electron revolving around the nucleus in an orbit has angular momentum equal toh27π. Can it lose energy?

Open in App
Solution

Yes, it will lose energy, since the energy is quantized and the angular momentum in a certain orbit must be equal to nh2π(n=0,1,2,....) or n should be integer value in order to not lose energy.
but nh2π=h27πn=227 which is not an intger.
