Question
A neutral atom of the element boron (B) has 5 electrons. Four of the electrons are removed, forming an ion with the one remaining electron. a) Sketch an energy level diagram for this ion, showing the ground state and the first two excited states. Label each state with the value of its energy. b) Calculate the two longest wavelengths at which this ion can absorb radiation. Assume all absorption occurs from the ground state. c) What is the minimum amount of energy needed to remove the electron from the ground state of this ion?
