Atomic Collisions

1) A hydrogen atom in its ground state is bombarded by electrons with a kinetic energy of 11 eV or greater. This will excite the hydrogen atom to higher energy states, producing spectral lines. 2) In an inelastic collision, a hydrogen atom in its first excited state collided head-on with a lithium ion also in its first excited state. After the collision, the hydrogen atom was in its ground state and the lithium ion was in its second excited state. The kinetic energy of the hydrogen atom before the collision was calculated. 3) A neutron with a kinetic energy of 25 eV collided head-on with a hydrogen atom, exciting it to its second excited state. The kinetic energy of the neutron
