- At large interatomic separations, an alkali halide moleculeMX has a lower energy as two neutral atoms, M + X; atshort separations, the ionic form (M+)(X-) has a lowerenergy. At a certain distance, Rc, the energies of the twoforms become equal, and it is near this distance that theelectron will jump from the metal to the halogen atom during a collision. Because the forces between neutral atomsare weak at large distances, a reasonably good approximation can be made by ignoring any variation in potentialV(R) for the neutral atoms between Rc and R - `. For theions in this distance range, V(R) is dominated by theirCoulomb attraction.(a) Express Rc for the first ionization energy of the metalM and the electron affinity of the halogen X.(b) Calculate Rc for LiF, KBr, and NaCl using data fromAppendix F.arrow_forwardWhat is the energy difference between the F2 molecule and the separated atoms? Express your answer in kilojoules per mole to three significant figures. 5 ΑΣΦ Energy difference = ? kJ/molarrow_forwardPhotoelectron spectroscopy studies of silicon atoms excited by X-rays with wavelength 9.890 × 10-1º m show four peaks in which the electrons have speeds 2.097 × 107 m s-!, 2.093 x 107 m s-!, 2.014 × 107 m s', and 1.971 x 107 m s-1. (Recall that 1 J = 1 kg m² s-2.) (a) Calculate the ionization energy of the electrons in each peak. (b) Assign each peak to an orbital of the silicon atom.arrow_forward

- 2) The ionization energy of potassium is 4.34 eV; the electron affinity of iodine is 3.06 eV. At what separation distance will the KI molecule gain enough Coulomb energy to overcome the energy needed to form the K+ and I ions?arrow_forwardPhotoelectron spectroscopy applies the principle of the pho-toelectric effect to study orbital energies of atoms and mol-ecules. High-energy radiation (usually UV or x-ray) is absorbedby a sample and an electron is ejected. The orbital energy can becalculated from the known energy of the radiation and the mea-sured energy of the electron lost. The following energy differ-ences were determined for several electron transitions:ΔE 2→1=4.098X10⁻¹⁷J, ΔE 3→1=4.854X10⁻¹⁷J, ΔE 5→1=5.242X10⁻¹⁷J, ΔE 4→2=1.024X10⁻¹⁷J Calculate the energy change and the wavelength of a photon emitted in the following transitions:(a) Level 3→2 (b) Level4→1 (c) Level5→4arrow_forwardCovalent bonds in a molecule absorb radiation in the IR re-gion and vibrate at characteristic frequencies.(a) The C—O bond absorbs radiation of wavelength 9.6 μm.What frequency (in s⁻¹) corresponds to that wavelength?(b) The H—Cl bond has a frequency of vibration of 8.652x10^13Hz.
