# (A) Find the First Excitation Potential of He+ Ion. (B) Find the Ionization Potential of Li++Ion. - Physics

Sum

(a) Find the first excitation potential of He+ ion. (b) Find the ionization potential of Li++ion.

#### Solution

(a) PE of hydrogen like atom in the nth state, V = (-13.6Z^2)/n^2 eV

Here, Z is the atomic number of that atom.

For the first excitation, the atom has to be excited from n = 1 to n = 2 state.

So, its excitation potential will be equal to the difference in the potential of the atom in n = 1 and in n = 2 states.

First excitation potential of He+

- 13.6Z^2 (1 - 1/2^2) eV

= - 10.2 Z^2 eV

rArr 10.2 xx Z^2

= 10.2 xx 4

= 40.8 (b) Ionization Potential Li++ = 13.6 V ×Z2
= 13.6 × 9
= 122.4 V
