Hydrogen, deuterium, and singly ionized helium are all examples of one-electronatoms. The deuterium nucleus has the same charge as the hydrogen nucleus, and almost exactlytwice the mass. The helium nucleus has twice the charge of the hydrogen nucleus, and almostexactly four times the mass. Make a prediction of the ratios of the ground state energies of theseatoms, considering that current spectroscopy accuracy is extremely good (on the order of107).

Answer:

0.99986

Step-by-step explanation:

attached below is the detailed solution to the given problem

Express the ratios of the ground state energies of these atoms

ground state energies ( Ed , Ehe )

= Ed / Ehe = -13.5963 / -13.59815

= 0.99986

Hydrogen, deuterium, and singly ionized helium are all examples of one-electronatoms-example-1
