Q51. The electron in the nth orbit of Li2 + is excited to ( n + 1 ) orbit using the radiation of energy 1 . 47 × 10-17 J (as shown in the diagram). The value of n is ___________ Given : RH = 2 . 18 × 10-18 J

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the energy difference between two adjacent orbits in a hydrogenic species (Li2+) using Bohr's model and then determining the initial principal quantum number 'n'.

Concepts Tested

Bohr's model for hydrogenic speciesEnergy levels in multi-electron speciesRydberg formula for energy

Formulas Used

E = -RH * Z^2 / n^2

ΔE = E(n+1) - E(n)
