Review
Using Equation 26-26, we can write Equation 26-25 for the quantized electron orbital energy in terms of the Rydberg energy E0:
Again, the integer n identifies the orbit, and the atomic number Z specifies a particular element. Setting Z equal to 1 and n equal to 1 therefore tells us that the energy of the ground state of hydrogen is −13.6 eV. We can also conclude from Equation 26-27 together with the value of the Rydberg energy that, in general, the energy of electrons in orbit around an atomic nucleus is between about −10 eV and, for the largest elements (for which Z is about 100), −105 eV. The Bohr model sets the scale for atomic electron energies.
