Correct answer: 136

  1. Use the energy formula for hydrogen-like ions

For a hydrogen-like ion, the energy of the electron in the nnnth orbit is

En=−13.6 Z2n2 eVE_n=-13.6\,\frac{Z^2}{n^2}\ \text{eV}En​=−13.6n2Z2​ eV

where ZZZ is the atomic number.

For Li2+\mathrm{Li}^{2+}Li2+, we have:

Z=3Z=3Z=3

  1. Identify the second excited state
  • Ground state →n=1\to n=1→n=1
  • First excited state →n=2\to n=2→n=2
  • Second excited state →n=3\to n=3→n=3

So we need the energy required to remove the electron from n=3n=3n=3 to infinity.

  1. Calculate the energy of the electron in n=3n=3n=3

E3=−13.6×3232=−13.6 eVE_3=-13.6\times \frac{3^2}{3^2}=-13.6\,\text{eV}E3​=−13.6×3232​=−13.6eV

  1. Find the ionization energy from this state

To remove the electron completely, we must take it from E3E_3E3​ to 000 eV.

So required energy is

0−(−13.6)=13.6 eV0-(-13.6)=13.6\,\text{eV}0−(−13.6)=13.6eV

  1. Match with the given form

Given:

13.6 eV=x×10−1 eV13.6\,\text{eV}=x\times 10^{-1}\,\text{eV}13.6eV=x×10−1eV

Thus,

x×10−1=13.6x\times 10^{-1}=13.6x×10−1=13.6

x=136x=136x=136

  1. Final answer

136\boxed{136}136​
