In defining the sizes of orbitals, why must we use an arbitrary value, such as 90% of the probability of finding an electron in that region?
The work function of an element is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the solid element. The work function for lithium is 279.7 kJ/mol (that is, it takes 279.7 kJ of energy to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of Li atoms on the surface of Li metal). What is the maximum wavelength of light that can remove an electron from an atom on the surface of lithium metal?
In each of the following sets, which atom or ion has the smallest ionization energy? a. \(\mathrm{Ca}, \mathrm{Sr}, \mathrm{Ba}\) b. \(\mathrm{K}, \mathrm{Mn}, \mathrm{Ga}\) c. \(\mathrm{N}, \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{F}\) d. \(\mathrm{S}^{2-}, \mathrm{S}, \mathrm{S}^{2+}\) e. \(\mathrm{Cs}, \mathrm{Ge}, \mathrm{Ar}\)
Without looking at data in the text, sketch a qualitative graph of the third ionization energy versus atomic number for the elements Na through Ar, and explain your graph.
Element 106 has been named seaborgium, Sg, in honor of Glenn Seaborg, discoverer of the first transuranium element. a. Write the expected electron configuration for element 106. b. What other element would be most like element 106 in its properties? c. Predict the formula for a possible oxide and a possible oxyanion of element 106.
