Question

Consider the hydrogen atom, singly ionized helium atom, and the doubly ionized lithium atom. Arrange these atoms from highest energy ground state to lowest energy ground state.
a. H, He+, Li++ b. Li++, He+, H c. H, Li++, He+ d. Since each of these atoms has only one electron, they all have the same energy ground state.
