What is the electronic configuration of element with atomic no. 24 and 30?
The nucleus of 6Li is a powerful absorber of neutrons. Itexists in the naturally occurring metal to the extent of7.5%. In the era of nuclear deterrence, large quantitiesof lithium were processed to remove 6Li for use in hydrogenbomb production. The lithium metal remaining afterremoval of 6Li was sold on the market. (a) What are thecompositions of the nuclei of 6Li and 7Li? (b) The atomicmasses of 6Li and 7Li are 6.015122 and 7.016004 amu, respectively.A sample of lithium depleted in the lighter isotopewas found on analysis to contain 1.442% 6Li. What isthe average atomic weight of this sample of the metal?
7.24 The electron configuration of B is 1s22s2 , 2p1. (a) Ifeach core electron (i.e., the 1s electrons) were totallyeffective in shielding the valence electrons (i.e., the2s and 2p electrons) from the nucleus and the valenceelectrons did not shield one another, what would be theshielding constant (σ) and the effective nuclear charge(Zeff) for the 2s and 2p electrons? (b) In reality, theshielding constants for the 2s and 2p electrons in B areslightly different. They are 2.42 and 2.58, respectively.Calculate Zeff for these electrons, and explain thedifferences from the values you determined in part (a).
