> 8. Detailed calculations show that the value of Zeff for the outermost electrons in Si and Cl atoms is +4.285 and +6.116 respectively. What value do you estimate for Zeff for these two atoms using simplified rules that assume core electrons are 100% efficient at screening and valence electrons do no screening at all?

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.
Write the electron configurations for the following atoms. Do not use shorthand notation, and use parenthesis. Do not put spaces in your answer. For example, enter the configuration for Na as 1s(2)2s(2)2p(6)3s(1). As: Cl: Ni: Si: NOV

14. The ionization energies for removing successive electrons from sodium are 496 kJ/mol, 4562 kJ/mol, 6912 kJ/mol, and 9544 kJ/mol. How do you explain the great jump in ionization energy after the first electron is removed?
6. Using Slater's rules, calculate the Zeff on one of the 3d electrons compared to that on one of the 4s electrons for Mn. 7. Using Slater's rules, calculate the Zef on a 3p electron in Al and in Cl. Explain how your results relate to a. the relative atomic radii of the two atoms. b. the relative first ionization energies of the two atoms.
Select the statement(s) that explain(s) the relationship between the arrangement of elements by size and first ionization energy. 1. The first set of paired electrons in a pp subshell experience a large amount of electron-electron repulsion, making the fourth electron in a pp subshell easy to remove. 2. The third unpaired electron in a pp subshell causes a lot of electron-electron repulsion among the orbitals, making the third electron in a pp subshell easy to remove. 3. A pp subshell with only one unpaired electron is extremely stable, making the fifth electron in a pp subshell easy to remove. 4. The two arrangements are the same because IE of elements increases from left to right and the radii of elements decreases from left to right. 5. A full ss subshell is able to shield a newly filled pp subshell from the nucleus, making the first electron in a pp subshell easy to remove.
