In a future hydrogen-fuel economy, the cheapest source of H2 will certainly be water. It takes 467 kJ to produce 1 mol of H atoms from water. What is the frequency, wavelength, and minimum energy of a photon that can free an H atom from water? Enter your answers in scientific notation.
When we first learn to write electron configurations for atoms, we use the Pauli Exclusion
Principle (PEP) and Hund's Rules to ensure that what we write is consistent with what we
observe in nature, the Periodic Table. Consider carbon and oxygen and write the correct ground
state electron configurations for both; having done so, reflect on how you intuitively used the
PEP and Hund's Rules. Now think about the formal statement of the PEP written as Postulate 6
of Quantum Mechanics.
All electronic wave functions must be antisymmetric under the interchange of
any two electrons.
Now we come to it; determine the most stable atomic term symbol for both elements and
explain Hund's Rules (see below) are manifested in the singular that you used to write
the correct ground state electron configurations.
Hund's Rules
1. The state with the largest value of S is the most stable, and stability
decreases with decreasing S.
2. For states with the same value of S, the state with the largest value of L…
When a hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), the internal energy of the atom increases and one or more electrons may be energized into an excited state. The release of this extra energy as the excited state electron transitions back to a lower energy state results in the emission of a photon. These energy changes are responsible for the emission spectrum of hydrogen (shown below) and are described by the Bohr equation. delta?=−2.178×10−18 J(1?2final−1?2initial)ΔE=−2.178×10−18 J(1nfinal2−1ninitial2)

To ionize a hydrogen atom (forming a hydrogen ion), requires that the energy absorbed is sufficient to send the energized electron an infinite distance away from the nucleus (as shown by the ionization line in the image above). In other words, nfinal is equal to infinity.
Calculate the energy required to ionize a ground state hydrogen atom. Report your answer in kilojoules.
