JEE Main 2014 (09 Apr Online)

Question

If the binding energy of the electron in a hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV, the energy required to remove the electron from the first excited state of Li++ is :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
D30.6 eV

Step-by-step explanation

Energy of an electron in nth orbit of an ion with atomic number z is, E=-13.6×z2n2 eV

for 1st excited state of Li++, z=3, n=2

E=-13.6×32n2=-13.6×94 eV

     = -30.6 eV

 Required energy =30.6 eV
