(a)
Interpretation:
The reason the lines for potassium and silver do not begin at the origin in the kinetic energy vs frequency graph is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The major points of the Einstein
1) Light consists of photons. Each photon has an energy equivalent to
2) The collision of a photon and an electron on the metal surface is elastic in nature.
3) Out of the total energy gained by the electron, some of it is used by the electron to lodge out of the metal surface whereas the remaining part is the kinetic energy of the electron.
4) The minimum energy required to lodge an electron out of the metal surface is called the work function of the metal.
5) The remaining energy is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron.

Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change
- (15 pts) Consider the molecule B2H6. Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book? Sketch the new highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs for the molecule (B2H6).arrow_forwardQ8: Propose an efficient synthesis of cyclopentene from cyclopentane.arrow_forwardQ7: Use compound A-D, design two different ways to synthesize E.
