    Ground state energy of hydrogen atom, E = − 13.6 eV

    The total energy of the hydrogen atom is -13.6 eV. The kinetic energy is equal to the negative of the total energy.

    Kinetic energy = − E = − (− 13.6) = 13.6 eV

    Potential energy = negative of two times of kinetic energy.

    Potential energy = −2 × ( 13.6 ) = −27.2 eV.
