The electron is still bound to the proton and therefore the hydrogen atom will not be ionized. The electron will be at a higher energy level and it will eventually lose energy and return to the ground state.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;(b)&#039;&#039;&#039; When an electron increases its energy by 15.0 eV, then the total energy of the proton-electron system becomes 1.4 eV. The hydrogen atom will be ionized because the total energy of the system is positive.</div>
