Two hydrogen like atoms A and B having (N)/(Z) ratio equal to 1 have atomic number Z_(A) and Z_(B) A is moving, while B is stationary and both are in ground state. The minimum kinetic energy which A must have to have an inelastic collision with B such that both A and B getting excited is 221 e V . If situation is reversed and B is made to stike A which is stationary and both in ground state then minimum kinetic energy which B must have to make an inelastic coliision with both getting excited is 331.5 e V . Assume mase of proton = mass of neutron. The atomic formula of A and B are :-
