- As the weapons officer aboard the Srarship Chemistry, it is your duty to configure a photon torpedo to remove an electron from the outer hull of an enemy vessel. You know that the work function (the binding energy of the electron) of the hull of the enemy ship is 7.52 1019 J. a. What wavelength does your photon torpedo need to be to eject an electron? b. You find an extra photon torpedo with a wavelength of 259 nm and fire it at the enemy vessel. Does this photon torpedo do any damage to the ship (does it eject an electron)? c. If the hull of the enemy vessel is made of the element with an electron configura tion of [Ar]4s13d10, what metal is this?arrow_forwardA bright violet line occurs at 435.8 nm in the emission spectrum of mercury vapor.

Given that the ionization energy of (ground state) helium is 2372 kJ/ mol, find the longest wavelength of light that could eject an electron from the excited state helium atom.arrow_forward
- What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation corresponds to a frequency of 7.76 109 s1 ? Note that Plancks constant is 6.63 1034 J s, and the speed of light is 3.00 108 m/s.arrow_forward6.93 A mercury atom is initially in its lowest possible (or ground state) energy level. The atom absorbs a photon with a wavelength of 185 nm and then emits a photon with a frequency of 4.9241014HZ . At the end of this series of transitions, the atom will still be in an energy level above the ground state. Draw an energy-level diagram for this process and find the energy of this resulting excited state, assuming that we assign a value of E = 0 to the ground state. (This choice of E = 0 is not the usual convention, but it will simplify the calculations you need to do here.)arrow_forward6.71 Several excited states of the neon atom are important in the operation of a helium-neon laser. In these excited states, one electron of the neon atom is promoted from the 2p level to a higher energy orbital. An excited neon atom with a 1s22s22p55s1 electron configuration can emit a photon with a wavelength of 3391 nm as it makes a transition to a lower energy state with a 1s22s22p54p1 electron configuration. Other transitions are also possible. If an excited neon atom with a 1s22s22p53p1 electron configuration makes a transition to a lower energy state with a 1s22s22p53p1 electron configuration, it emits a photon with a wavelength of 632.8 nm. Find the wavelength of the photon that would be emitted in a transition from the 1s22s22p54p1 electron configuration to the 1s22s22p53p1 electron configuration. (It should help if you start by drawing an energy-level diagram.)arrow_forward
- Investigating Energy Levels Consider the hypothetical atom X that has one electron like the H atom but has different energy levels. The energies of an electron in an X atom are described by the equation E=RHn3 where RH is the same as for hydrogen (2.179 1018 J). Answer the following questions, without calculating energy values. a How would the ground-state energy levels of X and H compare? b Would the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of H be higher or lower than that of an electron in the n = 2 level of X? Explain your answer. c How do the spacings of the energy levels of X and H compare? d Which would involve the emission of a higher frequency of light, the transition of an electron in an H atom from the n = 5 to the n = 3 level or a similar transition in an X atom? e Which atom, X or H, would require more energy to completely remove its electron? f A photon corresponding to a particular frequency of blue light produces a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 5 level of a hydrogen atom.
