Question:
The binding energy of an electron is the minimum energy required to remove the electron from its ground state to a large distance from the nucleus.
(a) What is the binding energy for the hydrogen atom?
(b) What is the binding energy for He+?
(c) What is the binding energy for Li2+? [Singly ionized helium (He+) and doubly ionized lithium (Li2+) are “hydrogen-like” in that the system consists of a positively charged nucleus and a single bound electron.]
