As the weapons officer aboard the Starship Chemistry, it is your duty to configure a photon torpedo to remove an electron from the outer hull of an enemy vessel. You know that the work function (the binding energy of the electron) of the hull of the enemy ship is \(7.52 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{J}\) a. What wavelength does your photon torpedo need to be to eject an electron? b. You find an extra photon torpedo with a wavelength of \(259 \mathrm{nm}\) and fire it at the enemy vessel. Does this photon torpedo do any damage to the ship (does it eject an electron)? c. If the hull of the enemy vessel is made of the element with an electron configuration of \([\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^{1} 3 d^{10},\) what metal is this?
Answer the following questions, assuming that \(m_{s}\) could have three values rather than two and that the rules for \(n, \ell,\) and \(m_{\ell}\) are the normal ones. a. How many electrons would an orbital be able to hold? b. How many elements would the first and second periods in the periodic table contain? c. How many elements would be contained in the first transition metal series? d. How many electrons would the set of \(4 f\) orbitals be able to hold?
Element 106 has been named seaborgium, \(\mathrm{Sg}\), 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?
Assume that a hydrogen atom's electron has been excited to the \(n=5\) level. How many different wavelengths of light can be emitted as this excited atom loses energy?
Carbon absorbs energy at a wavelength of \(150 . \mathrm{nm.}\) The total amount of energy emitted by a carbon sample is \(1.98 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{J}\) Calculate the number of carbon atoms present in the sample, assuming that each atom emits one photon.
