Compute Ionization Energy Single Atom Hydrogen

The ionization energy of a single atom of hydrogen
is the beginning of the element. To understand the ionization energy of its single atom, we should study it in detail.

A hydrogen atom contains only one electron, which rotates around the nucleus. With ionization energy, the electron breaks free from the bondage of the nucleus and escapes the minimum energy required for the atom.

According to quantum mechanics, the energy level of the hydrogen atom can be deduced from Bohr's theory. Its ground state energy level is\ (E_1 = -13.6\ eV\). When the electron wants to leave the atom, that is, to infinity, the energy level is\ (E_ {\ infty} = 0\ eV\).

Then the ionization energy of a single atom of hydrogen\ (I\) is the energy difference required for the electron to jump from the ground state to infinity, so\ (I = E_ {\ infty} - E_1 = 0 - (-13.6\ eV) = 13.6\ eV\).

Therefore, in order to ionization a single atom of hydrogen, it is necessary to supply\ (13.6\ eV\) energy, which is the ionization energy of a single atom of hydrogen.
