How much energy is required to ionise a H atom if the electron occupies n = 5 orbit? Compare your answer with the ionisation enthalpy of H atom (energy required to remove the electron from n = 1 orbit)
Solution:
= J/mole Energy required to remove the electron completely from n = 5 orbital in an H-atom is = J/mole = 0.5248 × J/mole= 5.248 × J/mole = = 8.71 × J/atoms Energy required to remove the electron completely from n = 1 orbit in a H-atom is = J/mol = 13.12 × J/mol = = 2.17 × J/atom ∴ Energy required to remove the electron from n = 1 orbit is 25 times than that required to remove the electron from n = 5.
