The first ionisation energy of lithiumwill be46.46.

Answer»

The value of the ionisation energy (2370 kJ mol-1) of lithium is much higher than hydrogen, because the nucleus now has 2 protons attracting the electrons instead of 1. Lithium is 1s^22s^1. Its outer electron is in the second energy level, much more distant from the nucleus.
