since the outer electron for Li is quite a bit farther out than two 1s electrons, this atom is something like a hydrogen atom in the 2s state. The first ionization potential of Li is 5.39eV. What ionization potential would be expected from this simple model of an Li atom? What effective nuclear charge Z' seen by the outer electron would give the correct first ionization potential?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer.The first ionization potential of Li is 5.39 eV.

The ionization potential I.E=(Z/n)² x13.6 eV

5.39=(Z² /4)x13.6

Z² =4x5.39/13.6

Z² = 1.59

Z =+1.26

Repulsion of electrons within two interacting molecules produces changes in electron distribution. This change in electron distribution creates temporary dipole moments. Which of the following does this explain? Choose one or more: A. This explains why the dipole-dipole attractive force between dimethyl ether and acetone does not entirely account for the attractive force between these molecules. B. This explains why ammonia and nitrogen gas exhibit an attractive force between them. C. This explains how the molecules hydrogen fluoride and methanol...

The electron transport chain has two diffusible electron carriers, ubiquinone, which shuttles electrons to the third mitochondrial complex, and cytochrome c, which shuttles electrons to the last mitochondrial complex (see figure below). Would it be possible for cells to use only one of these two diffusible electron carriers to shuttle electrons at each of these two steps of the electron transport chain? Why or why not?

An electron microscope focuses electrons through magnetic lenses to observe objects at higher magnification than is possible with a light microscope. For any microscope, the smallest object that can be observed is one-half the wavelength of the radiation used. Thus, for example, the smallest object that can be observed with light of 400.0 nm is 2.00 ×10−7 m. (a) What is the smallest object observable with an electron microscope using electrons moving at 8.70 ×104 m/s? (b) At 1.40 ×...
