A little perspective
The ground-state binding energy of Hydrogen atom ground-state binding energy is about 1.36 times the energy of 10 electronvolts.
Measurements, assumptions & sources +
10 electronvolts
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Hydrogen atom ground-state binding energy
The magnitude of the hydrogen ground-state binding energy is approximately 13.598 eV, or 2.1799 × 10⁻¹⁸ J. It is the energy required to ionise ground-state hydrogen, not a classical stored-energy shell.
NIST — Atomic spectra database ionization energies
The marked ground-state binding energy is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
