An electron is revolving in a Bohr orbit of a doubly ionized lithium atom (). If its angular momentum is , what is the total energy of the electron in this orbit?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The angular momentum of an electron in the Bohr orbit is given by .
Given , we have:
The total energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like ion is given by .
For a doubly ionized lithium atom (), the atomic number .
Substituting and , we get:
Failing to account for the atomic number leads to the incorrect value of .
