What is the energy of ( He ⁺ )electron in first orbit?
Options
- A(40.8 ~eV )
- B(-27.2 ~eV )
- C(-54.4 ~eV )
- D(-13.6 ~eV )
Correct answer
C. (-54.4 ~eV )
Step-by-step solution
For hydrogen like atoms like ( He ⁺, Li ⁺⁺ )etc, the energy in an (n^ th ) orbit is given by (E_n= -Z^2 13.6 n^2 eV ) For ( He ⁺, Z=2 ) ( E₁= -(2)^2 13.6 (1)^2 eV =-54.4 eV )
