LI2+ ion
(a) Calculate energy (in Joules) of the 2px orbital of the ion
(b) Calculate energy (in Joules) and Wavelength (in nm) of the transition from the 4s orbital to the 2pz orbital of the ion
(c) Calculate ionization energy of the ion
The energy of the orbital depends on the principal quantum number: So:
Now, calculate the energy difference:
Now, the ionization energy is the energy you need to move the electron from its ground state to the infinite.
For Li+2:
