It has been con-sidered one of the great triumphs ofDirac's theory that it gave the" right" fine structure of the energy levels. However, the experimental attempts to obtain a really detailed confirmation through a study of the Balmer lines have been frustrated by the large Doppler effect of the …

Answer 2

Divide the mass being ionized, in grams, by the atomic mass number. If you have 24 grams of oxygen, for example, which has an atomic mass of 16, you have 1.5 moles. Multiply the ionization energy you looked up by 96.485. 1 eV/particle is equal to 96.485 kJ/mol.
