Describe the shape of p orbitals and explain what degenerate atomic orbitals are.
use the photon energies (Li E = 178.428 KJ/mol) to determine the valence orbital energies for both Li and Na. For lithium, the transition is from the 2p- to the 2s-orbital, and the 2s-orbital energy is –520.3 kJ/mol. Use this to find the energy of the 2p-orbitals in Li. For sodium, the higher-energy photon is emitted when the electron drops from one of the 3p-orbitals to the 3s-orbital, while the lower energy photon is emitted when the electron drops from one of the 3d-orbitals to one of the 3p-orbitals. Use these facts, along with the known energy of the 3s-orbital (–495.8 kJ/mol), to find the energies of the 3p- and 3d-orbitals.

In Universe L, recently discovered by an intrepid team of chemists who also happen to have studied interdimensional travel, quantum mechanics works just as it does in our universe, except that there are four d orbitals instead of the usual number we observe here. Use these facts to write the ground-state electron configurations of the seventh and eighth elements in the first transition series in Universe L. Note: you may use [X] to stand for the electron configuration of the noble gas at the end of the row before the first transition series. seventh transition metal: eighth transition metal:
