- What is the electron configuration of the Ba3+ ion? Suggest a reason why this ion is not normally found in nature.arrow_forwardWhich of the four atoms Na, P, Cl, or K (a) has the largest atomic radius? (b) has the highest ionization energy? (c) is the most electronegative?arrow_forwardThe electron affinity of the lutetium atom (element 71) was measured using the technique of photoelectron spectroscopy with an infrared laser (the essay on p. 310 describes this instrumental method, using X rays). In this experiment, a beam of lutetium negative ions, Lu, was prepared and irradiated with a laser beam having a wavelength at 1064 nm. The energy supplied by a photon in this laser beam removes an electron from a negative ion, leaving the neutral atom. The energy needed to remove the electron from the negative ion to give the neutral atom (both in their ground states) is the electron affinity of lutetium. Any excess energy of the photon shows up as kinetic energy of the emitted electron. If the emitted electron in this experiment has a kinetic energy of 0.825 eV, what is the electron affinity of lutetium?arrow_forward

If R is in Period 3, what is the ground-state valence-shell configuration of the atom?arrow_forwardIf the ground state electron configuration of an element is [Ne] 3s23p1, what is the typical charge on the monatomic ion of the element?arrow_forwardWhat is the energy of a photon in joules when an electron of Li2+ moves from orbit n=2 to n=1?arrow_forward
- what is the ratio of ground state energy of an electron moving in Be^+3 and to that of one moving in Li^2+?arrow_forward(a) Write the electron configuration for Li and estimate theeffective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electron.(b) The energy of an electron in a one-electron atom or ion equals (-2.18 x 10-18 J) aZ2/n2 b, where Z is the nuclear chargeand n is the principal quantum number of the electron. Estimatethe first ionization energy of Li. (c) Compare the resultof your calculation with the value reported in Table 7.4 andexplain the difference. (d) What value of the effective nuclearcharge gives the proper value for the ionization energy? Doesthis agree with your explanation in part (c)?arrow_forwardDespite the expected decrease in atomic size, there is an unexpected drop in IE1 values between Groups 2A(2) and 3A(13) in Periods 2 through 4. Explain this pattern in terms of electron configurations and orbital energies.arrow_forward
