Chapter 41, Problem 41.65P

(a)

To determine

To convert:

the given ionization energies in the unit of $\text{kJ/mol}$ to the unit of $\text{eV}$ that is required to ionize one atom.

(b)

To determine

The nuclear charge (Z) and the quantum number (n) for least bound electron of the alkali metals given in table 1.

(c)

To determine

The effective atomic number $\left(Z_{\text{eff}}\right)$ for the alkali metals given in table 1.

(d)

To determine

Whether the effective atomic number $\left(Z_{\text{eff}}\right)$ increases or decreases during increase in the atomic number (Z) and explain why?
