For each of the statements below, indicate whether it is true or false and explain your reasoning. (1 sentence ) 1/ It takes more energy to ionize an electron from the 2s orbital than an electron from the 2p orbital in the Li2+ ion. 2/ The electron affinity of the Ne atom is larger than the electron affinity of the F atom. 3/ K* has a larger radius than Ar. 4/ For a diatomic molecule, in which the internuclear axis is the z-axis, the 3dz? orbital cannot mix with the 2px orbital. 5/ The internuclear distance of O2 increases as it takes an additional electron to become O2".
although we associate Pz 2. Now we will move on to diatomic molecules. In atoms all p-orbitals are equivalent with m/= 0, and px py with m/= ±1. In diatomic molecules these orbitals are in fact separated, with pz associated with o orbitals along the internuclear axis and px py associated with л orbitals (m/= ±1). In determining electron configurations we do indeed separate them: N₂ (KK¹ 0₂²). and O2 (KKogu ng *2). 4 a. Two excited states of N₂ are associated with Tu transitions. Tg and og → ou* i.

Pick one wave function from each excited state and show it obeys the Pauli Principle.
