Avg difficulty 2.5

A beryllium ion with a single electron (denoted Be3+\text{Be}^{3 + }) is in an excited state with radius the same as that of the ground state of hydrogen.

(a) What is nn for the Be3+\text{Be}^{3 + } ion?

(b) How much energy in eV is needed to ionize the ion from this excited state?
