Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the ionization energy of hydrogen in eV? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what ionization energy means. It is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom.
  • Step 2: Know that hydrogen has one electron.
  • Step 3: The ground state of hydrogen is when the electron is closest to the nucleus.
  • Step 4: The energy required to remove this electron from the ground state is known as the ionization energy.
  • Step 5: For hydrogen, this energy is measured to be 13.6 electron volts (eV).
