The correct Answer is:
To find the atomic number of the hydrogen-like ionized atom based on the given emission line spectrum energies, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Energy Levels In the Bohr model, the energy levels of a hydrogen-like atom are given by the formula: \[ E_n = -\frac{Z^2 \cdot 13.6 \, \text{eV}}{n^2} \] where \( Z \) is the atomic number and \( n \) is the principal quantum number. ### Step 2: Identify the Maximum and Minimum Energies From the problem, we know: - The maximum energy \( E_{\text{max}} = 13.6 \, \text{eV} \) corresponds to the ionization energy (when \( n \to \infty \)). - The minimum energy \( E_{\text{min}} = 4.896 \, \text{eV} \) corresponds to a transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. ### Step 3: Determine the Energy Levels For the maximum energy (ionization energy), we can set \( n = 1 \): \[ E_1 = -\frac{Z^2 \cdot 13.6}{1^2} = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \] For the minimum energy, we need to find the principal quantum number \( n \) for which: \[ E_n = -\frac{Z^2 \cdot 13.6}{n^2} = 4.896 \, \text{eV} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( Z \) Since the energy levels are negative, we can express the energy difference as: \[ E_{\text{transition}} = E_{n} - E_{1} = 4.896 - (-13.6) = 4.896 + 13.6 = 18.496 \, \text{eV} \] This energy corresponds to a transition from \( n = 2 \) to \( n = 1 \): \[ E_2 = -\frac{Z^2 \cdot 13.6}{2^2} = -\frac{Z^2 \cdot 13.6}{4} \] Setting the equation: \[ E_2 - E_1 = 18.496 \, \text{eV} \] \[ -\frac{Z^2 \cdot 13.6}{4} + 13.6 = 18.496 \] Rearranging gives: \[ -\frac{Z^2 \cdot 13.6}{4} = 18.496 - 13.6 \] \[ -\frac{Z^2 \cdot 13.6}{4} = 4.896 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( Z^2 \) Multiplying both sides by -4: \[ Z^2 \cdot 13.6 = -4 \cdot 4.896 \] \[ Z^2 \cdot 13.6 = -19.584 \] Now divide by 13.6: \[ Z^2 = \frac{-19.584}{-13.6} = 1.44 \] Taking the square root gives: \[ Z = \sqrt{1.44} = 1.2 \] Since \( Z \) must be a whole number, we round to the nearest whole number, which is \( Z = 1 \). ### Final Answer The atomic number of the atom is \( Z = 1 \). ---
