Spectroscopic studies show that Na can have electrons in its 1s, 2s, 2p, and 3s Hartree orbitals, and that Zeff(3s)=1.84 . Using data from Problem 13, compare the energies of the Na 3s orbital, the Li 2s orbital, and the H 1s orbital.
Consider the representations of the p and d atomic orbitals in Figs. 2-15 and 2- 17. What do the + and signs indicate?
When metallic sodium is dissolved in liquid sodium chloride, electrons are released into the liquid. These dissolved electrons absorb light with a wavelength near 800 nm. Suppose we treat the positive ions surrounding an electron crudely as defining a three-dimensional cubic box of edge L, and we assume that the absorbed light excites the electron from its ground state to the first excited state. Calculate the edge length L in this simple model.
Until recently, it was thought that Ca was unstable, and that the Ca atom therefore had a negative electron affinity. Some new experiments have now measured an electron affinity of +2.0kJmol1 for calcium. What is the longest wavelength of light that could remove an electron from Ca ? In which region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this light fall?
Cesium was discovered in natural mineral waters in 1860 by R. W. Bunsen and G. R. Kirchhoff, using the spectroscope they invented in 1859. The name came from the Latin caesius ("sky blue") because of the prominent blue line observed for this element at 455.5 nm. Calculate the frequency and energy of a photon of this light.
For elements l36, there are two exceptions to the filling order as predicted from the periodic table. Draw the atomic orbital diagrams for the two exceptions and indicate how many unpaired electrons are present.
The electron affinities of the elements from aluminum to chlorine are 44, 120, 74, 200.4, and 384.7 kJ/mol, respectively. Rationalize the trend in these values.
The periodic table consists of four blocks of elements that correspond to s, p, d, and f orbitals being filled. After f orbitals come g and h orbitals In theory, if a g block and an h block of elements existed, bow long would the rows of g and h elements be in this theoretical periodic table?
Cerium, as noted in Applying Chemical Principles: 22.3 The Rare Earths, is a relatively abundant lanthanide element that has some important uses. Cerium(IV) oxide. CeO2, is widely used as a polishing agent for glass. Cerium(III) sulfide, Ce2S3, is becoming more widely used as a red pigment to replace cadmium pigments, which are environmentally less desirable. (a) Give the electron configurations (using the noble gas notation) for Ce, Ce3+, and Ce4+. (b) Is either Ce3+ or Ce4+ paramagnetic? If so, how many unpaired electrons does each have? (c) The solid state structure for CeO2 is shown below. Describe the unit cell of the compound. How is this structure related to the formula?
