Q46JEE Main 2014 · 9 APR · SHIFT 1Medium

Energy of the Electron & Energy Levels

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:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Energy to remove electron from level nn: 13.6 Z2n213.6\,\frac{Z^2}{n^2} eV.
  2. Li++^{++}: Z=3Z = 3, first excited n=2n = 2: 13.6×94=30.613.6 \times \frac{9}{4} = 30.6 eV
  3. So the answer is (b) 30.630.6 eV.
