hydrogen can not be ionized. there are not enough protons or neutrons in the neucleus to support an extra electron for a negative ion. A hydrogen atom is merely a proton orbited by an electron, meaning that if it were to lose it's single electron, it would just become a single proton and a single electron. nothing more.

What is the highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
Is hydrogen a molecule?
Hydrogen is an atom but the hydrogen molecule is diatomic.H is a single Hydrogen atom, and H2 is a molecule.
How many chlorine atoms are present for every atom in a hydrogen chloride molecule?
There is 1 hydrogen atom and 1 chlorine atom in Hydrogen Chloride.
What is the difference between a hydrogen atom and a hydrogen molecule?
A hydrogen atom is made from 1 hydrogen atom while a hydrogen molecule is made by 2 hydrogen atoms in a chemical compound thus making it twice as big too.
When radiation is absorbed by a hydrogen electron the hydrogen atom changes its ground state to?
an atom
What is the energy needed to remove electrons from an atom called?
ionization potential energy. but remember the atom must be neutral .
What is the iozination energy of hydrogen?
The ionization energy of the hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV or 2.18 × 10-18 joule
What is ionization potentials?
Ionization potential is the energy required to remove one electron from an atom in the gaseous state. The units may be eV(electron volts) or kJ/mol. These are readily interconverted. Usually the ionization potentials for successive electrons are quoted as the first ionization potential, second ionization potential etc.
What is the exact meaning of ionization potential?
The energy required to remove completely an electron from its atom.
The ionization potential IP of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV The estimated second IP of?
I am not sure if it is possible to get a second electron out from hydrogen, but I know how to get the IP of an electron with quantum state n=2. The equation for the ionization energy in quantum state n is En=E1/(n^2). En is the ionization in quantum state n, E1 is the ground state ionization energy, which is 13.6eV and n is the quantum state. So, if n=2, then the potential is reduced by 1/4, and the IP would be 3.40 eV.
Covalent bonds form between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a water molecule as a result of the?
Ionization of the hydrogen atoms, which draw to it an oxygen atom; one oxygen atom to two hydrogen atoms. Each oxygen atom has two free electrons while each hydrogen atom has one free electron. The hydrogen atoms form a weak polar bond.
What is the highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
What is ionization of an atom?
Ionization of an atom is a simple process of which you convert an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or ions.
Why 2nd ionization potential is greter than 1st ionisation potential of element?
In the first ionization an electron is removed from a neutral atom. In the second ionization an electron is removed from a positively charged ion. Since electrons carry a negative charge and opposite charges attract it is more difficult (i.e. takes more energy) to remove.
What is more- potential energy or kinetic energy of an electron in hydrogen atom?
Both are equal.
Is ionization potential and ionization energy same?
Yes. If the units are eV (electron volts) this is called ionization potential, if the units are kJ/mol then this ionization energy. The conversion between the units is:- 96.485 kJ/mol = 1 eV/particle) Historically it was always called ionization potential as that reflected the method of measurement.
What is the ionizaton energy present example?
The energy required to remove electron from atom are called ionization energy. Larger atom or molecule have lower ionization energy and molecule have higher ionization energy.
