In Universe L, recently discovered by an intrepid team of chemists who also happen to have studied interdimensional travel, quantum mechanics works just as it does in our universe, except that there are seven d orbitals instead of the usual number we observe here. Use these facts to write the ground-state electron configurations of the thirteenth and fourteenth elements in the first transition series in Universe L. Note: you may use [X] to stand for the electron configuration of the noble gas at the end of the row before the first transition series. thirteenth transition metal: fourteenth transition metal: 0 0 X S

One bit of evidence that the quantum mechanical model is correct lies in the magnetic properties of matter. Atoms with unpaired electrons are attracted by magnetic fields and thus are said to exhibit pararamagnetism. The degree to which this effect is observed is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in the atom. Consider the ground-state electron configurations for Li, N, Ni, Te, Ba, and Hg. Which of these atoms would be expected to be paramagnetic, and how many unpaired electrons are present in each paramagnetic atom?
A metallic element reacts vigorously with water, evolving hydrogen gas. An excited atom of this element has its outer electron in the 3p orbital. When this electron drops to its ground state in the 3s orbital, light is emitted of wavelength 589 nm What is the identity of the element? Explain how you arrived at your answer. What is the color of the emitted light?
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.
The magnet in the following photo is made from neodymium, iron, and boron. A magnet mode of on alloy containing the elements Nd, Fe, and B. (a) Write the electron configuration of each of these elements using an orbital box diagram and noble gas notation. (b) Are these elements paramagnetic or diamagnetic? (c) Write the electron configurations of Nd3+ and Fe3+ using orbital box diagrams and noble gas notation. Are these ions paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
Given the valence electron orbital level diagram and the description, identify the element or ion. a. A ground state atom b. An atom in an excited state (assume two electrons occupy the 1s orbital) c. A ground state ion with a charge of 1
Valence electrons are those electrons in the outermost principal quantum level (highest n level) of an atom in its ground state. Groups lA to 8A have from 1 to 8 valence electrons. For each group of the representative elements (1A-8A). give the number of valence electrons, the general valence electron configuration, a sample element in that group, and the specific valence electron configuration for that element.
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.
