Question: ( a ) Find the radius of the n = 6 Bohr orbit of a doubly ionized lithium atom ( Li 2 + , Z

(a) Find the radius of the n =6 Bohr orbit of a doubly ionized lithium atom (Li2+, Z =3).
m
(b) Is the energy required to raise an electron from the n =6 state to the n =8 state in Li2+ greater than, less than, or equal to the energy required to raise an electron in hydrogen from the n =6 state to the n =8 state?
|Eion|<|EH|- smaller force on Li2+ electron due to greater distance from nucleus|Eion|<|EH|- greater force on Li2+ electron due to larger number of protons|Eion|>|EH|- smaller force on Li2+ electron due to increased distance from nucleus|Eion|>|EH|- greater force on Li2+ electron due to larger number of protons|Eion|=|EH|- same n interval in two hydrogen-like atoms
(c) Verify your answer to part (b) by calculating the relevant energies.
