In solid helium the spacing between atoms is about 3Å . Helium contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, so the mass of a helium atom is 6.6×10−27 kg. What is the smallest possible energy of a helium atom in solid helium? What temperature (in Kelvin) does this energy correspond with? (Boltzmann's constant is kb=1.38×10−23 J/K
How much energy is required to cause an electron in hydrogen to move from the n = 1 state to the n = 2 state? (b) If the electrons gain this energy by collision between hydrogen atoms in a high - temperature gas, find the minimum temperature of the heated hydrogen gas. The thermal energy of the heated atoms is given by 3kBT/2, where kB is the Boltzmann constant.
In hydrogen atoms the energy of the electron in the first Bohr orbit is – 1312 × 105 J mol–1.  Determine the energy required for the excitation to the second Bohr orbit.
