The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following has a similar spectrum to that of \( \text{Li}^+ \), we need to analyze the electronic configuration of \( \text{Li}^+ \) and compare it with the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Electronic Configuration of Lithium (Li)**: - Lithium (Li) has an atomic number of 3, which means it has 3 electrons. - The electronic configuration of Li is \( 1s^2 2s^1 \). 2. **Determine the Configuration of \( \text{Li}^+ \)**: - \( \text{Li}^+ \) means that lithium has lost one electron. - Therefore, the electronic configuration of \( \text{Li}^+ \) becomes \( 1s^2 \). 3. **Identify the Electron Configuration of Other Elements**: - We need to find which of the given options has the same electronic configuration as \( 1s^2 \). - The element with the configuration \( 1s^2 \) is Helium (He), which has an atomic number of 2. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since \( \text{Li}^+ \) has the configuration \( 1s^2 \), and Helium also has the configuration \( 1s^2 \), they will have similar spectra. - Therefore, the answer is Helium (He). ### Final Answer: The element that has a similar spectrum to that of \( \text{Li}^+ \) is **Helium (He)**.
