Determine Ionization Energy Hydrogen Atom

On the Determination of Ionization Energy of Hydrogen Atoms
To determine the ionization energy of hydrogen atoms, it is necessary to understand the principle of atomic structure and energy level. A hydrogen atom contains only one proton and one electron. Electrons move around the nucleus at a specific energy level.

According to Bohr's theory, the energy level formula of a hydrogen atom is\ (E_ {n} = -\ frac {13.6} {n ^ {2}} eV\),\ (n = 1,2,3,\ cdots\). Where\ (n = 1\) is the ground state, with the lowest energy,\ (E_ {1} = -13.6eV\).

Ionization causes electrons to break free from the bonds of atomic nuclei and go to infinity. At this time, the electron energy\ (E_ {\ infty} = 0\).

Therefore, the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom\ (I.E.\) is the energy required for the electron to jump from the ground state to infinity, that is,\ (I.E. = E_ {\ infty} - E_ {1} = 0 - (-13.6eV) = 13.6eV\).

This value is of great significance. Many reactions and phenomena involving hydrogen atoms are related to ionization energy. Determining the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom helps us understand the inner secrets of the atom, which has far-reaching implications in the fields of chemistry and physics.
