In 1886 Balmer showed that the lines in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom had wavelengths that could be expressed by a rather simple equation. Bohr, in 1913, explained the spectrum on a theoretical basis with his famous model of the hydrogen atom. Energy levels for the hydrogen atom can be calculated from the following equation: En = -1312.04/n² Using this equation, calculate the energies of the ten lowest levels in the hydrogen atom and record the data in the table below. Quantum Number, Quantum Number, Energy, En, in kJ/mole Energy, En, in kJ/mole (n) (n) 1 6 2 7 3 8 4 9 5 10 In 1886 Balmer showed that the lines in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom had wavelengths that could be expressed by a rather simple equation.
