Calculate the ionization potential for C+5 ( 5 electrons removed for the C atom) and in addition compute the wavelength of the transition from n=3 to n= 2.

Ionization potential of C⁺⁵ is 489.6 eV.

Wavelength of the transition from n=3 to n=2 is 1.83 x 10⁻⁸ m.

Explanation:

The ionization potential of hydrogen like atoms is given by the relation :

    .....(1)

Here E is ionization potential, Z is atomic number and n is the principal quantum number which represents the state of the atom.

In this problem, the ionization potential of Carbon atom is to determine.

So, substitute 6 for Z and 1 for n in the equation (1).

E = 489.6 eV

The wavelength (λ)  of the photon due to the transition of electrons in Hydrogen like atom is given by the relation :

    ......(2)

R is Rydberg constant, n₁ and n₂ are the transition states of the atom.

Substitute 6 for Z, 2 for n₁, 3 for n₂ and 1.09 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ for R in equation (2).

 = 5.45 x 10⁷

λ = 1.83 x 10⁻⁸ m
