Question

Find the ratio of ionization energy of hydrogen-like lithium atom and Bohr's hydrogen atom.

Moderate
Solution

Energy of an electron in ground state of Bohr's hydrogen-like atom is given by,

E=13.6Z2n2eV

where Z = atomic number of the atom.
The ionization energy of this atom is equal in magnitude to energy of ground state=E=13.6Z2

ELiEH=ZLi2ZH2=312=9
