Solution in Detail
$\displaystyle \underline{ \underline{\text{Part (i)}}}$
Let $\displaystyle E_n$ = energy associated with orbit n
by bohr's theory for H atom
$\displaystyle E_n = -\frac{R_H}{n^2} \text{ (J/atom)}$
$\displaystyle \implies E_1 = -\frac{R_H}{1^2} $
$\displaystyle \implies E_5 = -\frac{R_H}{5^2} $
Dividing, $\displaystyle E_5 = \frac{E_1}{25} $
but given $\displaystyle E_1 = -2.18 \times 10^{-18} \text{ (J)}$
$\displaystyle \therefore E_5 = \frac{-2.18 \times 10^{-18}}{25} $
$\displaystyle = -8.72 \times 10^{-20} \text{ J/atom }\underline{Ans}$
$\displaystyle \underline{ \underline{\text{Part (ii)}}}$
by bohr's theory for H atom
$\displaystyle r_n = 52.9n^2 \times 10^{-12}\text{ m}$$\displaystyle \implies r_5 = 52.9 \times 5^2 \times 10^{-12} \text{ m}$
$\displaystyle = 1.32 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m }\underline {Ans}$
