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 eight 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.

r Questions 11—13, you will need to consider ionizations beyond the first ionization energy. For example, the second ionization energy is the energy to remove a second electron from an element. Compare the first ionization energy of helium to its second ionization energy, remembering that both electrons come from the 1s orbital. l> X Y First 170 200 second 350 400 Third 1800 3500 fouth 2500 5000 entify the elements X and Y. There may be more than one answer. so explain completely.
The first ionization energy of helium is 2370kJmol1 , the highest for any element. (a) Define ionization energy and discuss why for helium it should be so high. (b) Which element would you expect to have the highest second ionization energy? Why? (c) Suppose that you wished to ionize some helium by shining electromagnetic radiation on it. What is the maximum wavelength you could use?
The first ionization energies of As and Se are 0.947 and 0.941 MJ/mol, respectively. Rationalize these values in terms of electron configurations.
One bit of evidence that the quantum mechanical model is correct lies in the magnetic properties of matter. Atoms with unpaired electrons are attracted by magnetic fields and thus are said to exhibit pararamagnetism. The degree to which this effect is observed is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in the atom. Consider the ground-state electron configurations for Li, N, Ni, Te, Ba, and Hg. Which of these atoms would be expected to be paramagnetic, and how many unpaired electrons are present in each paramagnetic atom?
6.82 A particular element has the following values for its first four ionization energies: 900, 1760, 14, 850, and 21,000 kJ/mol. Without consulting a list of ionization energy values, determine what group in the periodic table this element belongs in.
A metallic element reacts vigorously with water, evolving hydrogen gas. An excited atom of this element has its outer electron in the 3p orbital. When this electron drops to its ground state in the 3s orbital, light is emitted of wavelength 589 nm What is the identity of the element? Explain how you arrived at your answer. What is the color of the emitted light?
Consider a 2+ ion that has six 3d electrons; which ion is it? Which 2+ ion would have only three 3d electrons?
Consider the eight most abundant elements in the human body, as outlined in Exercise 156. Excluding hydrogen, which of these elements would have the smallest size? largest size? smallest first ionization energy? largest first ionization energy?
Suppose that the spin quantum number did not exist, and therefore only one electron could occupy each orbital of a many-electron atom. Give the atomic numbers of the first three noble-gas atoms in this case.
Write an orbital diagram for the ground state of the zinc atom. Is the atomic substance diamagnetic or paramagnetic?
The changes in electron affinity as one goes down a group in the periodic table are not nearly as large as the variations in ionization energies. Why?
On which quantum numbers does the energy of an electron depend in each of the following? a. a one-electron atom or ion b. an atom or ion with more than one electron
