It depends on which energy level the electron is in, and where it ends up. To go from n=1 to n=2, it requires 10.2 eV of energy.

What is the difference between excited hydrogen atom and any other atom?
Hydrogen atom = 1 proton 1 electron Hydrogen's 1 electron occupies the lowest energy level, 1s orbital. The atom is therefore in its "ground state". When a photon of correct frequency "collides" with a electron in hydrogen's 1s orbital the energy contained in the photon is transferred to the electron. The electron then gets added energy, so it is at a higher energy state. When it reaches this higher energy state the electron jumps to the next energy level and there it starts its new orbit. Hydrogen atom is now "excited" For any other atoms it is the same thing because all atoms can undergo excitation. The only difference between hydrogen's 1 electron and other atom's many electrons is WHICH ELECTRON will be "excited"
How does the electron's energy change as the orbit of the electron increases?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.
How much energy is needed to completely remove an electron from n2 in a hydrogen atom?
How much energy is required to move the electron of the hydrogen atom from the 1s to the 2s orbital
What quantum number of the hydrogen atom comes closest to giving a 31--diameter electron orbit?
17
Sketch an atom emitting light. Does the electron end up in a higher or lower orbit. Repeat for an atom absorbing light?
When an atom emits light an electron has fallen from a higher orbit to a lower orbit. The amount of energy the emitted photon has will equal the energy difference between the initial and final orbits.
What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?
The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.
According to Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom how is hydrogen's emission spectrum produced?
it is produced when an electron from a higher energy orbit drops down to a lower level of energy orbit.
According to Bohr model of hydrogen atom how is hydrogen's emission spectrum produced?
It's produced when an electron from a higher energy orbit drops down to a lower level energy orbit
When an electron in an atom of hydrogen moves from the second to the first principal energy level the result is the emission of?
one photonAn electron moves from a higher orbit to a lower orbit

The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.
In the Bohr model of the atom an electron in an orbit has a fixed .?
energy
How much energy is needed to completely remove an electron from n2 in a hydrogen atom?
How much energy is required to move the electron of the hydrogen atom from the 1s to the 2s orbital
Why are electron in the electron cloud?
electron cloud refers to orbit present in the atom and electron can can be revolved by the orbit only as it is an imaginary path made of energy
What is the significance of the line spectrum of hydrogen?
the line spectrum of the hydrogen spectrum indicates that only certain energies are allowed for the electron of the hydrogen atom. In other words, the energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom is quantized.
What is more- potential energy or kinetic energy of an electron in hydrogen atom?
Both are equal.
According to bohr's theory of the hydrogen atom is it possible for the electron to orbit the nucleus with any possible energy?
It's actually completely opposite, electrons can have only specific energies (non-continuous) when the electrons are a part of an atom(s).
