The energy required to dislodge electron from excited isolated hydrogen atom(IE1=13.6eV).
A)=13.6ev B)>13.6 C) <13.6 and >3.4 D)less than or equal to 3.4eV
The answer is D but how if i assume that the electron is at the second energy state(n=2) its energy would be -3.4eV so we should give either 3.4ev or more than that
