Consider a hydrogen atom in the ground state. What is the energy of its electron?
which is, -2.1799 X10^-18 J
Now consider an excited-state hydrogen atom. What is the energy of electron in the n=2 level?

I believe the formula is: $$E= (-2.179 X 10^{-18} J) (\left(\begin{matrix}1 \ n ^{2}\end{matrix}\right)$$
Which I get a result of -5.4925 x10^-19
