How To Calculate The Ionization Energy Of Hydrogen

On the calculation of the ionization energy of hydrogen
If you want to know how to calculate the ionization energy of hydrogen, you must understand. A hydrogen atom has a single electron orbiting the nucleus.

Its ionization energy causes the electron in the hydrogen atom to denucleate and escape from infinity. According to Bohr's theory, the specific energy level of the electron in the hydrogen atom. The energy of the ground state is $E_1 $, and its value is fixed.

The energy required for the electron to jump from the ground state to infinity is the ionization energy $I $. From the conservation of energy, $I = E_ {\ infty} - E_1 $.

And at infinity, the electron energy $E_ {\ infty} = 0 $. The electron energy of the ground state hydrogen atom is $E_1 = -13.6eV $ (this value is derived from the theory).

So the ionization energy of hydrogen is $I = 0 - (-13.6eV) = 13.6eV $. This is the method of calculating the ionization energy of hydrogen. By analyzing it, the value can be obtained by counting, which shows that the microscopic energy change of matter is wonderful.
