Chapter 9, Problem 101IP
As the bead engineer of your starship in charge of the warp drive, you notice that the supply of dilithium is critically low. While searching for a replacement fuel, you discover some diboron, B2.
a. What is the bond order in Li2 and B2?
b. How many electrons must be removed from B2 to make it isoelectronic with Li2 so that it might be used in the warp drive?
c. The reaction to make B2 isoelectroruc with Li2 is generalized (where n = number of electrons determined in part b) as follows:
How much energy is needed to ionize 1.5 kg B2 to lhe desired isoelectroruc species?
