A one electron species, X m, where m is the charge of the one electron species and X is the element symbol, loses its one electron from its ground state when it absorbs 3.49 x 10-17 J of energy. Using the prior information, the charge of the one electron species is:_____________

a. +8
b. +2
c. +3
d. +1
e. +4

Respuesta :

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]
