Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 15SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk(*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Raft Elements. Lithium, beryllium and boron are elements with atomic number 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Despite their being three of the five simplest elements, Figure 9.19 shows that they are rare compared to many heavier elements. Suggest a reason for their rarity. (Hint: Consider the process by which helium fuses into carbon.

For the following homework problems please show all of your work.
1. If the energy of a photon is given by the equation E = hv, where
h is known as Planck's constant, and has the value of h = 4.136 x
10-15 eV -s, then complete the following table. Please note: the unit
called an electron volt (eV) is a unit of energy whose value is compa-
rable to the values seen in atomic transitions, and a Hertz is Hz = 1/s.
