The amount of energy required to remove the electron from a Li2+ ion in its ground state is how many times greater than the amount of energy required to remove the electron from an H−atom in its ground state?

Solution
The energy of transition is given by,
E=−13.6Z2(1n2t−1n2i)
∵ Both n values for transition in the question are same
The ratio of the energies determined only by the ratio of the Z2 or 12/32 or 1/9.
Thus, the energy required to remove an e− from Li2+ is 9 times more than Hydrogen.
