Source sentences:
text: The electron in the hydrogen atom is confined in the potential well, and its total energy is negative.
text: The potential energy of an electron in an atom is negative, its dependence of its position reaches the minimum (the most absolute value) inside the nucleus, and vanishes when the distance from the nucleus goes to infinity, roughly in an inverse proportion to the distance.
text: The total energy is negative and inversely proportional to r.
text: Electron total energies are negative, since the electron is bound to the nucleus, analogous to being in a hole without enough kinetic energy to escape.
text: The electron in the hydrogen atom is confined in the potential well, and its total energy is negative.
text: \label{30}\] having noted that the energy \(E\) is negative for bound states.
text: An electron remains bound in the hydrogen atom as long as its energy is negative.
text: Since the total energy E n is negative when the electron is bound to the atom, we can interpret the stability of atoms as being due to the decrease in the when the electron is attracted by the nucleus.
text: Notice that this energy is negative because the electron is in a bound state — you’d have to add energy to the electron to free it from the hydrogen atom.
text: All the relative energies are negative
text: An electron remains bound in the hydrogen atom as long as its energy is negative.
text: Is the wavelength of the emitted photon longer for larger values of n, or for smaller values of n? for larger n Discuss why the allowed energies of the hydrogen atom are negative.
