If a hydrogen atom has its electron in the n= 4 state, how much energy in ev is needed to ionize it?

Explanation:

Energy of electron in n = 4 state

= - 13.6/4² =- 0.85 eV

So energy needed to extract it from atom = .85 eV.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
