The total energy of an electron in the nth stationary orbit of the hydrogen atom can be obtained by

A $E_n=-13.6\times n^2$ eV

B $E_n=\dfrac{13.6}{n^2}$ eV

C $E_n=\dfrac{-13.6}{n^2}$ eV

D $E_n=\dfrac{-1.36}{n^2}$ eV

Detailed Solution

For the hydrogen atom, the total energy of the electron in the nth orbit is $E_n=\dfrac{-13.6}{n^2}$ eV.
