Be sure to answer all parts. One reason spectroscopists study excited states is to gain information about the energies of orbitals that are unoccupied in an atom's ground state. The following electron configuration represents an atom in an excited state. Identify the element and write its condensed ground-state configuration: 123²2p®3s!3p! Element symbol: Condensed ground-state configuration: (Remember to use square brackets, and do not forget to superscript only the electron values.)

6.101 Laser welding is a technique in which a tightly focused laser beam is used to deposit enough energy to weld metal parts together. Because the entire process can be automated, it is commonly used in many large-scale industries, including the manufacture of automobiles. In order to achieve the desired weld quality, the steel parts being joined must absorb energy at a rate of about 104 W/mm2. (Recall that 1 W = 1 J/s.) A particular laser welding system employs a Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1.06m ; at this wavelength steel will absorb about 80% of the incident photons. If the laser beam is focused to illuminate a circular spot with a diameter of 0.02 inch, what is the minimum power (in watts) that the laser must emit to reach the 104 W/mm2 threshold? How many photons per second does this correspond to? (For simplicity, assume that the energy from the laser does not penetrate into the metal to any significant depth.)
