Q: It is possible to determine the ionization energy for hydrogen using the Bohr equation. Calculate the ionization energy for an atom of hydrogen, making the assumption that ionization is the transition from n = 1 to n = infinity. 1/infinity = zero. Show your work. Comment: I’ve worked it and checked it against the answers I’ve found online, but I’m getting 2.18×10^-13 J, and the exponent I’ve been seeing is ^-18. I don’t understand why I’m getting the wrong exponent- or is mine right? I put in: -(6.626×10^-32J*S)(3.00×10^8m/s)(1.096776×10^7m-)(0-1/1^2)
