- It requires 799 kJ of energy to break one mole of carbon-oxygen double bonds in carbon dioxide. What wavelength of light does this correspond to per bond? Is there any transition in the hydrogen atom that has at least this quantity of energy to one photon?arrow_forward6.96 When a helium atom absorbs light at 58.44 nm, an electron is promoted from the 1s orbital to a 2p orbital. Given that the ionization energy of (ground state) helium is 2372 kJ/ mol, find the longest wavelength of light that could eject an electron from the excited state helium atom.arrow_forwardThe energy emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy state to a lower energy state in any atom can be observed as electromagnetic radiation. (a) Which involves the emission of less energy in the H atom, an electron moving from n = 4 to n = 2 or an electron moving from n = 3 to n = 2? (b) Which involves the emission of more energy in the H atom, an electron moving from n = 4 to n = 1 or an electron moving from n = 5 to n = 2? Explain fully.arrow_forward
- What is the maximum number of electrons that can be identified with each of the following sets of quantum numbers? In some cases, the answer may be none In such cases, explain why none is the correct answer. (a) n = 4, = 3, m = 1 (b) n = 6, = 1, m = 1, ms = 1/2 (c) n= 3, = 3, m = 3arrow_forwardLight with a wavelength of 425 nm fell on a potassium surface, and electrons were ejected at a speed of 4.88 105 m/s. What energy was expended in removing an electron from the metal? Express the answer in joules (per electron) and in kilojoules per mole (of electrons).arrow_forwardAn energy of 3.3 1019 J/atom is required to cause a cesium atom on a metal surface to lose an electron. Calculate the longest possible wavelength of light that can ionize a cesium atom. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is that radiation found?arrow_forward
