The energy level diagram shown below represents a fictional gas. What is the energy of a photon that would move an electron from level 2 to level 5? A. 5.8 eV
B. 4.8 eV
C. 4.2 eV
D. 2.65 eV

The energy required to move an electron from level 2 to level 5 is 4.8 eV.

According to the Bohr model of the atom, an electron moves from a lower to a higher energy level when it absorbs energy. The same energy is released when the atom returns to ground state.

When an electron from level 2 to level 5, the energy of the photon required is;

ΔE = E5 - E2 = -0.5eV - (-5.3eV)

ΔE = 4.8eV

The energy of a photon that would move an electron from level 2 to level 5 : B. 4.8 eV

The electron energy at the nth shell can be formulated:

Rh = constant 2.179.10⁻¹⁸ J

So the electron transfer energy (ΔE)

ΔE = E final- E initial

energy at n=2(level 2) = -5.3 eV

energy at n=5(level 5) = -0.5 eV

So the energy absorbed :
