Chemistry Question on Structure of atom
Ionisation energy of He+ is 19.6×10−18Jatom−1. The energy of the first stationary state (n=1) of Li2+ is
A
4.41×10−16Jatom−1
B
−4.41×10−17Jatom−1
C
−2.2×10−15Jatom−1
D
8.82×10−17Jatom−1
Answer
−4.41×10−17Jatom−1
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is(B): −4.41×10−17Jatom−1.
IEHe+=13.6ZHe+2[121−∞21]=13.6ZHe+2 where (ZHe+=2) Hence 13.6×ZHe+2=19.6×10−18Jatom−1. (E1)Li+2=13.6ZLi+22×121=−13.6ZHe+2×[ZHe+2ZLi+22] =−19.6×10−18×49=−4.41×10−17J/atom
