Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Difference in energy [tex]\delta E =3.49 * 10^{-17} J[/tex]
The Ground state Difference in energy at n=1
[tex]\delta E_g = 2.18 * 10^{-18} × Z^2[/tex]
Generally the equation for Difference in energy is mathematically given by
[tex]\delta E=\delta E_g[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]3.49 * 10^{-17} = 2.18 * 10^{-18} * Z^2[/tex]
[tex]Z^2=16[/tex]
[tex]Z=4[/tex]
Therefore
Charge on element Z Q_Z
[tex]Q_Z= Atomic\ no\. of\ element - No.\ of\ electrons\ of\ element[/tex]
[tex]Q_Z =4-1[/tex]
[tex]Q_Z=+3[/tex]
