Answer

$-3.4\;eV$

Work Step by Step

In the figure 39-21 A dot plot showing the volume probability density for the hydrogen atom in the quantum state with $n=2, l=0$ and $m_{l}=0$. Therefore, the energy of the hydrogen-atom electron corresponds to $n=2$ level is given by $E_2=-\frac{13.6}{n^2}\;eV=-\frac{13.6}{2^2}\;eV=-3.4\;eV$
