Chapter 17, Problem 17.11E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether the form of the Fischer projection of the molecule is D or L is to be identified. The structure of the enantiomer is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The D (dextrorotatory) and L (laevorotatory) isomers are mirror images of each other and are known as enantiomers. The enantiomers which have the property of rotating the plane polarized light to the left are laevorotatory and those which rotate the plane polarized light to the right are dextrorotatory. Therefore, the characteristic physical property of optically active molecules is rotating plane polarized light.

(9 Pts) In one of the two Rare Earth element rows of the periodic table, identify an exception tothe general ionization energy (IE) trend. For the two elements involved, answer the followingquestions. Be sure to cite sources for all physical data that you use.a. (2 pts) Identify the two elements and write their electronic configurations.b. (2 pts) Based on their configurations, propose a reason for the IE trend exception.c. (5 pts) Calculate effective nuclear charges for the last electron in each element and theAllred-Rochow electronegativity values for the two elements. Can any of these valuesexplain the IE trend exception? Explain how (not) – include a description of how IErelates to electronegativity.
