JEE Advanced2010ChemistryStructure of AtomActual
Paragraph: The hydrogen-like species Li ²⁺ is in a spherically symmetric state S₁ with one radial node. Upon absorbing light the ion undergoes transition to a state S₂ . The state S₂ has one radial node and its energy is equal to the ground state energy of the hydrogen atom. Question: Energy of the state S₁ in units of the hydrogen atom ground state energy is
Options
- A0.75
- B1.50
- C2.25
- D4.50
Correct answer
C. 2.25
Step-by-step solution
Energy of state, S₁=-13.6 ( 3^2 2^2 ) eV / atom = 9 4 of energy of H -atom in ground state =2.25 of energy of H -atom in ground state
