Which of the following atoms has the lowest ionization energy ?

  1. A \( Be^{+++} \)
  2. B \( Li^{++} \)
  3. C \( He^+ \)
  4. D \( {}^1H \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( {}^1H \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( Be^{+++} \): \( Z = 4 \Rightarrow Z^2 = 16 \) \( Li^{++} \): \( Z = 3 \Rightarrow Z^2 = 9 \) \( He^+ \): \( Z = 2 \Rightarrow Z^2 = 4 \) \( {}^1H \): \( Z = 1 \Rightarrow Z^2 = 1 \) Answer: \( {}^1H \)
