Taking the ground-state ionisation energy of hydrogen as 13.6 eV, select the correct statements.

  1. AThe ratio of the ionisation energy of to that of is 3
  2. BThe ionisation energy of is 54.4 eV
  3. CThe ionisation energy of is 16 times that of
  4. DThe ionisation energy of is 122.4 eV

Answer: B, C, D

Energy is eV: He+ 54.4, Li2+ 122.4, Be3+ 217.6 (16 x 13.6). The ratio Li2+/He+ = 9/4 = 2.25, not 3, so the last statement is false.
