Which of the following atoms/ions have a ground state energy of -54.4 eV? |
Hydrogen atom Deuterium atom Singly-ionised helium Doubly-ionised lithium |
Singly-ionised helium |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Singly-ionised helium Total energy of a hydrogen-like ion, having z protons in its nucleus - $E=\frac{-B.6z^2}{n^2}eV$ [n = Principle quantum number] for He atom, z = 2 $E=\frac{-13.6×4}{n^2}eV=\frac{-54.4}{n^2}eV$ $∴E=\frac{-54.4}{(1)^2}eV=-54.4$ |
