The ionisation energy of 10 time ionised sodium atom is

  • A
    13.611 eV
  • B
    13.6112 eV
  • Correct answer
    C
    13.6 × 112 eV
  • D
    13.6 eV

Solution

The energy of nth orbit of a hydrogen-like atom is,

   En = -13.6 Z2n2

Here, Z=11 for Na atom. 10 electrons are removed already. For the last electron to be removed n=1.

∴En=-13.6 ×(11)2(1)2 eV

= -13.6 ×(11)2 eV

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
