Correct Answer :

Option A

19.53×1018 J

Solution :

The correct option is:

19.53 × 10 - 18 J

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Identify the given system:
The given process represents the ionization of a lithium ion:
Li 2 + Li 3 + + e -
A neutral lithium atom has 3 electrons. Therefore, the lithium ion Li 2 + contains only 1 electron. Since it contains a single electron, it is a hydrogen-like species, allowing us to use Bohr's model of the atom to calculate the energy required for its ionization.

2. Formula for the Ionization Energy of a hydrogen-like species:
The energy required to remove an electron from the ground state of a hydrogen-like atom or ion is given by the relation:
E ion = E H × Z 2
where:
- EH is the ionization energy of a hydrogen atom in its ground state (2.17×10-18 J).
- Z is the atomic number of the element.

3. Substitute the values:
For Lithium (Li), the atomic number is Z=3.
Substituting Z=3 and EH=2.17×10-18 J into the equation gives:
E ion = 2.17 × 10 - 18 J × 3 2

4. Calculate the final energy value:
E ion = 2.17 × 10 - 18 J × 9
E ion = 19.53 × 10 - 18 J
