Interpretation: The
This is to be explained whether its ionization energy is greater than, the same or smaller than At.
Concept Introduction: Ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove an electron from outermost shell of an atom.
(b)
Interpretation: The atomic number of Tennessine is 117. It should exhibit similar chemical properties to astatine (At).

- 6.2 Unlike XRF, AAS cannot be used for nondestructive testing. Explain why not.arrow_forwardElement 106 has been named seaborgium, Sg, in honor of Glenn Seaborg, discoverer of the first transuraniurn element. a. Write the expected electron configuration for element 106. b. What other element would be most like element 106 in its properties?arrow_forwardThe 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_forward
