(a) 13.6 eV

(b) 10.2 V

Explanation:

a) Ionization potential energy is defined as the minimum energy required to excite a neutral atom to its ionized state i.e basically the minimum energy required to excite an electron from n=1 to infinity.

Energy of a level, n, in Hydrogen atom is, $E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{n^{2} }$

Now ionization potential can be calculated as

$E_{\infty}- E_{0}$

Substitute all the value of energy and n in above equation.

$=-\frac{13.6}{\infty^{2}}-(-\frac{13.6}{1^{2}})\\=13.6eV$

Therefore, the ionization potential is 13.6 eV.

b) This is the energy required to excite a atom from ground state to its excited state. When electrons jumps from ground state level(n=1) to 1st excited state(n=2) the corresponding energy is called 1st excitation potential energy and corresponding potential is called 1st excitation potential.

So, 1st excitation energy = E(n 2)- E(n = 1)

$=-\frac{13.6}{2^{2}}-(-\frac{13.6}{1^{2}})\\=-3.4eV - (-13.6eV) \\=10.2eV$

Now we can find that 1st excitation energy is 10.2 eV which gives,

$eV'=10.2eV\\V'=10.2V$

Therefore, the 1st excitation potential is 10.2V.

Answer from: Quest

Is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
