    In an inelastic collision, an electron excites a hydrogen atom from its ground state to a M-shell state. A second electron collides instantaneously with the excited hydrogen atom in the M-state and ionizes it. At least how much energy the second electron transfers to the atom in the M-state?

    A)  \[+3.4\,\,eV\]               

    B)  \[+1.51\,\,eV\]

    C)  \[-3.4\,eV\]                               

    D)  \[-1.51\,eV\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We know that, \[{{E}_{m}}=\frac{13.6}{{{(n)}^{2}}}\] \[{{E}_{m}}=-\frac{13.6}{{{(3)}^{2}}}=-1.51\] Minimum energy required by electron in M shell = final energy at infinite- energy at M shell = 0 -(-1.51)=+1.51 eV which is transferred by second colliding electron.
