Question:

(a) Calculate the energies of an electron in the hydrogen atom for n = 1 and for n = ∞. How much energy does it require to move the electron out of the atom completely (from n = 1 to n = ∞), according to Bohr? Put your answer in KJ/mol.
(b) The energy for the process H + energy → H+ + e- is called the ionization energy of hydrogen. The experimentally determined value for the ionization energy of hydrogen is 1310 KJ/mol. How does this compare to your calculation?
