Chapter 6, Problem 6.100MP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To Determine:

The electron configurations of $Fe$ , $F{e}^{2+}$ and $F{e}^{3+}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To Determine:

The $n$ and $l$ quantum numbers of the electron removed when $F{e}^{2+}$ is ionized to $F{e}^{3+}$

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To Determine:

The longest possible wavelength of light that could ionize $F{e}^{2+}$ to $F{e}^{3+}$ if the third ionization energy of $Fe$ is $E_{i3}=+2952kJ/mol$.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To Determine:

The reason why the third ionization energy of $Ru$ is less than the third ionization energy of $Fe$.s
