Which has the more negative electron affinity, the oxygen atom or the \(\mathrm{O}^{-}\) ion? Explain your answer.
Valence electrons are those electrons in the outermost principal quantum level (highest \(n\) level) of an atom in its ground state. Groups \(1 \mathrm{~A}\) to \(8 \mathrm{~A}\) have from 1 to 8 valence electrons. For each group of the representative elements (1A-8A), give the number of valence electrons, the general valence electron configuration, a sample element in that group, and the specific valence electron configuration for that element.
Three elements have the electron configurations \(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6}\), \(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2}\), and \(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 4 s^{1}\). The first ionization energies of these elements (not in the same order) are \(0.419,0.735\), and \(1.527 \mathrm{MJ} / \mathrm{mol}\). The atomic radii are \(1.60,0.98\), and \(2.35 \AA\). Identify the three elements, and match the appropriate values of ionization energy and atomic radius to each configuration.
Which of the following sets of quantum numbers are not allowed? For each incorrect set, state why it is incorrect. a. \(n=3, \ell=3, m_{\ell}=0, m_{s}=-\frac{1}{2}\) b. \(n=4, \ell=3, m_{\ell}=2, m_{s}=-\frac{1}{2}\) c. \(n=4, \ell=1, m_{\ell}=1, m_{s}=+\frac{1}{2}\) d. \(n=2, \ell=1, m_{\ell}=-1, m_{s}=-1\) e. \(n=5, \ell=-4, m_{\ell}=2, m_{s}=+\frac{1}{2}\) f. \(n=3, \ell=1, m_{\ell}=2, m_{s}=-\frac{1}{2}\)
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 \(279.7 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\) (that is, it takes \(279.7 \mathrm{~kJ}\) 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?
