Energy required for the electron excitation in Li++ from the first to the third Bohr orbit is

  • 36.3 eV

  • 108.8 eV

  • 122.4 eV

  • 12.1 eV

Solution

B.

108.8 eV

increment straight E space equals space 13.6 space straight Z squared space open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight n subscript 1 superscript 2 end fraction minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight n subscript 2 superscript 2 end fraction close parentheses
space equals space 13.6 space left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis squared space open parentheses 1 over 1 squared minus 1 over 3 squared close parentheses space equals space 108.8 space eV
