As the principal quantum number n increases, the electron is more likely to be found far from the nucleus. It can be shown that for H and for ions with only one electron such as ,

Calculate the value of n for an s state in the hydrogen atom such that . Round up to the nearest integer. What is the ionization energy of the H atom in this state in electron-volts? Compare your answer with the ionization energy of the H atom in the ground state.
