Bohr Atonm In a particular Bohr orbit for an electron in a He ion, the TOTAL energy is -54.4 eV. What is the kinetic and potential energy for the electron in this orbit? PE Ender What is the ionization energy to completely remove the electron from this orbit? Heip Tycho . Instructions .

List of Assignments e Log In Log Out Solution As per the virial theorem, the potential energy is twice as large as the kinetic energy. It means - P.E = 2K.E Total energy = K.E + P.E Total energy = K.E - 2K.E Total energy = -K.E OR , Total energy = P.E / 2 Therefore, K.E = 54.4 eV Potential energy = - 2*54.4 Potential energy = -108.8 eV Ionization potential is the energy required to remove an electron from the ground state. For He + ion, Ionization potential is equal to 54.4 eV .
