Question

if first ionization potential of a hypothetical atom is 16 volt then the first excitation potential will be​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first excitation potential will be 12.0 volts.

Explanation:

Given data:

first ionization potential of a hypothetical atom = 16 volt

To find :

The first excitation potential =?

Solution:

We know that E = 13.6*z^2

z^2 = 16/13.6

The first excitation potential will be given by 13.6*(3/4)

Hence, to find excitation potential

It will be given by

13.6*3*16/13.6*4

= 12

The first excitation potential will be 12.0 volts.

The first excitation potential is basically defined as the minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from its isolated gaseous state. So to remove electron from first excited state is the first excitation potential.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

"The energy used by an electron to jump from ground energy level to first energy level, it is called first excitation potential energy and the first excitation potential is the corresponding potential.

The ionization potential can be defined as the minimum energy required ionizing an atom from energy level one to infinity

Let us solve the problem

Ionization potential = 16 v

First excitation potential = 3.4 -- 16 = 12.6v"
