    The ionization energy of 10 times ionized sodium atom is

    A)  \[\frac{13.6}{11}eV\]                    

    B)  \[\frac{13.6}{{{(11)}^{2}}}eV\]

    C)  \[13.6\times {{(11)}^{2}}eV\]                   

    D)  \[13.6\,eV\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The Bohr model of hydrogen atom can be extended to hydrogen like atoms. Energy of such an atom is given by                 \[{{E}_{n}}=-13.6\frac{{{Z}^{2}}}{{{n}^{2}}}\] Here, \[Z=11\] for \[Na\] atom; 10 electrons are removed already, so it is 10 limes ionised. For the last electron to be removed,\[n=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{E}_{n}}=\frac{13.6{{(11)}^{2}}}{{{(1)}^{2}}}eV\] or            \[{{E}_{n}}=-13.6\times {{(11)}^{2}}eV\]
