The ionization energy for sodium is 496 kJ/mol. In the line spectrum for sodium, we observe the following: 589.0 nm: [Ne]3p → [Ne]3s 1138.0 nm: [Ne]4s → [Ne]3p Using this information, calculate the energies of the 3s, 3p, and 4s orbitals in sodium (in kJ/mol), and draw an energy diagram that shows these three orbitals.

Question
  1. The ionization energy for sodium is 496 kJ/mol. In the line spectrum for sodium, we observe the following:

    589.0 nm: [Ne]3p → [Ne]3s

    1138.0 nm: [Ne]4s → [Ne]3p

    Using this information, calculate the energies of the 3s, 3p, and 4s orbitals in sodium (in kJ/mol), and draw an energy diagram that shows these three orbitals.
