According tothe Bohr's model,the energy levels of a hydrogen atom can be found by
making two assumptions:
()the electrons move in a circular orbit, and
(i)the angular momentum of the electron in the nth energy level is quatized to have a
value ofn. h2 |.
The levels calculated with a nuclear charge Ze, with a single electron in the orbit, the
called hydrogenic levels. Assume that the two electron in the ground stace of a helium
atom occupy the corresponding hydrogenic level.

30. The chemical bond formed betweentwo more atoms asa result of the or transter of

one or more from electropositive to electronegative atom is called

electrons
electrovalent bond. The energy is released when positive and negative ions are
condensed into a crystal to form one mole of the compound is called Lattice energy.
The formation of ionic compound is favoured by (i) low ionisation potential of one
atom, (ii) high electron gain enthalpy of the other atom and (ii) high lattice energy.
The summation of these energies should be negative, i.e. energy is released.
