Explain in detail.
Dear Student,
Separation energy is the energy required to separate particle from atom or molecule.
Now,there are two methods to solve this,
1. In this method, we can directly calculate the separation energy :
Atomic number of Li = 3 which means 3 electrons are there and Li2+ means only one electron left.and He+ means 1 electron.Now,both have same no.of electron which means same separation energy y . So, option (4) is the correct option.
2. By formula, Separation energy is the energy difference between n = infinity to n=2,3,4 etc whatever is given
