The first ionization energy of helium is 2370kJmol1 , the highest for any element. (a) Define ionization energy and discuss why for helium it should be so high. (b) Which element would you expect to have the highest second ionization energy? Why? (c) Suppose that you wished to ionize some helium by shining electromagnetic radiation on it. What is the maximum wavelength you could use?
The first ionization energies of As and Se are 0.947 and 0.941 MJ/mol, respectively. Rationalize these values in terms of electron configurations.
r Questions 11—13, you will need to consider ionizations beyond the first ionization energy. For example, the second ionization energy is the energy to remove a second electron from an element. Compare the first ionization energy of helium to its second ionization energy, remembering that both electrons come from the 1s orbital. l> X Y First 170 200 second 350 400 Third 1800 3500 fouth 2500 5000 entify the elements X and Y. There may be more than one answer. so explain completely.
