What is the energy (in J atom-1) required for the following process ? Li2+(g) Li3+(g) + e- (Take the ionization energy for the H atom in the ground state as 2.18 10-18 J atom-1)

  1. 8.72 10-18
  2. 1.962 10-18
  3. 1.962 10-17
  4. 6.54 10-17

Answer

(3) 1.962 10-17

Solution

Li2+ has only one electron (Z = 3), so it is a hydrogen-like species.

For a hydrogen-like species in the ground state (n = 1):

IE = IEH Z2n2

⇒ IE(Li2+) = 2.18 10-18 3212

⇒ IE(Li2+) = 2.18 10-18 9

∴ Energy required = 1.962 10-17 J atom-1

Answer: (3)
