Question
Chapter 29, Problem 44A
To determine
To rank provided elements from least to highest in terms of number of free electron per atom.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 44A
Ranking from least to highest 
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: To rank from least to highest in terms of number of free electron per atom, the following atoms,
- Aluminum
- Gallium
- Indium
- Platinum
- Zinc
Free electron in an atom is defined as the number of electrons in the outer orbit.
In Aluminum, there are there are 3 free electrons.
In Gallium, there are 3 free electrons.
In Indium, there are 3 free electrons.
In Platinum, there are 6 free electrons.
In Zinc, there are 2 free electrons.
There is a tie between Aluminum, Gallium and Indium because there are 3 free electrons in all the three elements.
Conclusion:
The rank of the provided elements from least to highest in terms of number of free electron per atom is obtained as:

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet.
