Second exitation potential means when electron jumps from ground state to third Orbit

So the answer is 12.1 electron volt


umeshjangid: but i have a doubt if we want to find 3rd energy for he+ it's equal to -30.6 and energy of ground state for he+,it is -3.4
umeshjangid: E.S.=E3-E1, then answer comes -27.2
subhash81: Sorry my apology I does the calculation for hydrogen if I took the value of Z^2 then answer comes to be yours
subhash81: And secondly, energy comes to be positive because you have to give the energy to excite the electron
