3. \(E_n = \frac{1.36}{n^2}~\text{eV}\)
4. \(E_n = -{13.6}\times{n^2}~\text{eV}\)

An ionised \(H\)-molecule consists of an electron and two protons. The protons are separated by a small distance of the order of angstrom. In the ground state:
(a) | the electron would not move in circular orbits. |
(b) | the energy would be \(2^{4}\) times that of a \(H\)-atom. |
(c) | the electron's orbit would go around the protons. |
(d) | the molecule will soon decay in a proton and a \(H\)-atom. |

A set of atoms in an excited state decays
1. | in general to any of the states with lower energy |
2. | into a lower state only when excited by an external electric field |
3. | all together simultaneously into a lower state |

Two H atoms in the ground state collide inelastically. The maximum amount by which their combined kinetic energy is reduced is:
1. 10.20 eV
2. 20.40 eV
3. 13.6 eV
4. 27.2 eV
O2 molecule consists of two oxygen atoms. In the molecule, nuclear force between the nuclei of the two atoms:
1. | is not important because nuclear forces are short-ranged |
2. | is as important as electrostatic force for binding the two atoms |
3. | cancels the repulsive electrostatic force between the nuclei |
4. | is not important because oxygen nucleus have equal number of neutrons and protons |
