Question: Ions with a single electron such as He + , Li 2+ , and Be 3+ are described by the H atom wave functions with

Ions with a single electron such as He+, Li2+, and Be3+ are described by the H atom wave functions with Z/asubstituted for 1/a0, where Z is the nuclear charge. The 1s wave function becomes  ψ (r) = 1 / √π (Z/a0)3/2 e-Zr/a0 Using this result, calculate the total energy for the 1s state in H, He+, Li2+, and Be3+ by substitution in the Schrödinger equation ?
