Consider two different hydrogen atoms. The electron in each atom is in an excited state. Is it possible for the electrons to have different energies but the same orbital angular momentum according to the Bohr model?

It is not possible for the electrons to have different energies but the same orbital angular momentum according to the Bohr model.


Explanation:


The energy of an electron in the nth orbit is



Angular momentum is given by



n=1,2,3, 4………….


if n value is same for the two electrons they will exhibit the same energy. Is it not possible to have different energy levels for same n value of the electrons.


Electrons which are having different energy levels will have a different n values.


In the same way the electrons which are having different energy levels will exhibit different angular momentum.
