(a)
Interpretation:Equation corresponding to fourth ionization energy of selenium should be written.
Concept introduction:In order to remove the electron situated in outermost shell certain minimum energy must be imparted so as to convert an atom to gaseous species. The energy thus imparted represents ionization energy.
Magnitude of ionization energy is determined by how effectively valence electron is held by nucleus. If the outermost shell has, for instance, one or two electronsthat require very minimum ionization energy as they can attain the noble gas configuration upon loss of those electrons.

Interpretation: Equation corresponding to
Concept introduction:In order to remove the electron situated in outermost shell certain minimum energy must be imparted so as to convert an atom to gaseous species. The energy thus imparted represents ionization energy.
Reverse of ionization process may result in gain of one or more electron as exhibited by group 16 and 17 so as to attain noble core configuration. These groups have 6 and seven valence electrons and hence favorably accept 2 and 1 electron respectively. This behavior is termed as electron affinity.

(e)
Interpretation: Equation corresponding to work function of
Concept introduction: In order to remove the electron situated in outermost shell certain minimum energy must be imparted so as to convert an atom to gaseous species. The energy thus imparted represents ionization energy.
Work function refers to least amount of energy that must be supplied to knock off the first electron. If energy greater than work function is applied the equivalent energy appears as kinetic energy of liberated electron.

F has a larger first ionization energy than does Li. b. Cations are larger than their parent atoms. c. The removal of the first electron from a lithium atom (electron configuration is ls2 2s1 ) is exothermic-that is, removing this electorn gives off energy. d. The He atom is larger than the H+ ion. e.

- The electron affinity of the lutetium atom (element 71) was measured using the technique of photoelectron spectroscopy with an infrared laser (the essay on p. 310 describes this instrumental method, using X rays). In this experiment, a beam of lutetium negative ions, Lu, was prepared and irradiated with a laser beam having a wavelength at 1064 nm. The energy supplied by a photon in this laser beam removes an electron from a negative ion, leaving the neutral atom. The energy needed to remove the electron from the negative ion to give the neutral atom (both in their ground states) is the electron affinity of lutetium. Any excess energy of the photon shows up as kinetic energy of the emitted electron. If the emitted electron in this experiment has a kinetic energy of 0.825 eV, what is the electron affinity of lutetium?arrow_forwardFluoride ion, F, has no unpaired electrons.
