Questions And More Questions Popping Charges

The expression, per atom view,

12(mρZ)v2max=Einput/atom=12c2densityZ3.4354

gets into trouble because,

12mρv2max=Einput/particle

but

12c2densityZ3.4354=12c2densityZZ23.4354

Einput/atom=Einput/particleZ2

and so,

12(mρZ)v2max=Einput/particleZEinput/atom

what happened?  Furthermore, either,

12(mρZ)v2max=12c28πc3f2

or

12(mρZ2)v2max=12c28πc3f2

suggests,

 fvmax,

not,

fKE  or  fv2max

And between

12c2densityZ3.4354  and  12c2densityZ3.4354

we have

12c2density3.4354

what of this expression?

The first issue seems to be resolved by considering the scaling factor Z as applied to vmax and not to mρ that,

12mρ(vmaxZ)2=Einput/atom=Einput/particleZ2

would this make sense?  Whether of Z particles or just one, mass density mρ remains constant.  So the formulation,

12(mρZ)v2max=Einput/atom

is wrong.  But why would vmaxvmaxZ?

Good night...
