The binding energy of an electron in the gorund state of He atom is equal to `E_0 = 24.6 eV.` Find the energy required to remove both electrons form the atom.

Answer» Energy required to remove first electron is
24.6 eV. After removing first electron form this
atom, it will become `He^+`
`E_1 =- (13.6)(2)^2 (as E prop Z^2 and Z=2)`
= - 54.4 eV
`:. Energy required to remove this second electron
will be 54.4 eV.`
`:. Total energy required to remove both electrons`
=24.6 +54.4
=79 eV.
