Using Bohr model of Hydrogen the energy ociated with an electron being in level n is found to be....?

They give you the formula. All you have to do is plug in n=2 and n=100. The limit of 1/n^2 as n approaches infinity is zero. So the energy of a free electron (aka n=infinity) is zero, which makes sense, since we used a free electron as our reference to measure the relative energy in the first place.
