An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited from the n 1

An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited from the n 1 ground state to the n 4 excited state Classify the statements abou this absorption and emission process as true or false True On average the electron is closer to the nucleus in the n 4 state than in the n 1 state Answer Bank The wavelength of light emitted when the electron falls from n 4 to n 2 is shorter than the wavelength of light emitted when the electron falls from n 4 ton 1 It takes less energy to ionize the electron from the n 4 state than from the ground state The a 4 excited state is the first possible excited state False The wavelength of light absorbed when the electron is excited from the ground state to n 4 is the same as the wavelength of light emitted when the folle 6
