How would the ground state energy for a doubly ionized lithium ion, Li**, be expected to compare with the ground state energy for the Hydrogen atom? a) The ground state energy for this lithium ion would have to be positive since this is a positive ion. b) The ground state energy for this lithium ion would be lower, and less than -13.6 eV. c) The ground state energy for this lithium ion would be greater, and between zero and +13.6 eV, d) They would be the same. e) The ground state energy for this lithium ion would be greater, and between-13.6 eV and zero.

How do the allowed orbits for electrons in atoms differ from the allowed orbits for planets around the sun? Explain how the correspondence principle applies here.
A beryllium ion with a single electron (denoted Be3+) is in an excited state with radius the same as that of the ground state of hydrogen. (a) What is n for the Be3+ ion? (b) How much energy in eV is needed to ionize the ion from this excited state?
Hydrogen gas can only absorb EM radiation that has an energy corresponding to a transition in the atom, just as it can only emit these discrete energies. When a spectrum is taken of the solar corona, in which a broad range of EM wavelengths are passed through very hot hydrogen gas, the absorption spectrum shows all the features of the emission spectrum. But when such EM radiation passes through room-temperature hydrogen gas, only the Lyman series is absorbed. Explain the difference.
Construct Your Own Problem The solar corona is so hot that most atoms in it are ionized. Consider a hydrogen-like atom in the corona that has only a single electron. Construct a problem in which you calculate selected spectral energies and wavelengths of the Lyman, Balmer, or other series of this atom that could be used to identify its presence in a very hot gas. You will need to choose the atomic number of the atom, identify the element, and choose which spectral lines to consider.

The wavelength of the four Balmer series lines for hydrogen are found to be 410.3, 434.2, 486.3, and 656.5 nm. What average percentage difference is found between these wavelength numbers and those predicted by 1=R(1nf21ni2) ? It is amazing how well a simple formula (disconnected originally from theory) could duplicate this phenomenon.
