In Bohr’s atomic model of hydrogen, let K, P and E are the kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy of the electron respectively. Choose the correct option when the electron undergoes transitions to a higher level:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

K decreases, P and E increase

Option B (K decreases, P and E increase) is correct because as the electron transitions to a higher energy level, its kinetic energy decreases while its potential and total energy increase (become less negative).
