A positive ion with exactly one electron ejects this electron when it absorbs a photon of wavelength 228 A˚228 \text{ Å} or shorter. Determine the ion.

Options

  1. ALi2+\text{Li}^{2+}
  2. BH+\text{H}^+
  3. CBe3+\text{Be}^{3+}
  4. DHe+\text{He}^+

Correct answer

D. He+\text{He}^+

Step-by-step solution

The ionization of a hydrogen-like ion corresponds to the transition of an electron from n=1n = 1 to n=∞n = \infty.

Using the Rydberg formula:

1λ=RZ2(112−1∞2)<br><br>1λ=\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R Z^2 \left(\dfrac{1}{1^2} - \dfrac{1}{\infty^2}\right)<br><br>\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =R Z^2<br><br>Substituting<br><br>Substituting\lambda = 228 \text{ \AA} = 228 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m} and the Rydberg constant R≈1.097×107 m−1R \approx 1.097 \times 10^7 \text{ m}^{-1}:

Z2=Z^2 =\dfrac{1}{\lambda R} = \dfrac{1}{228 \times 10^{-10} \times 1.097 \times 10^7}

Z2=Z^2 =\dfrac{1000}{250.116} \approx44

Z=2Z = 2

The ion with atomic number Z=2Z = 2 and exactly one electron is He+\text{He}^+.
