Answer:

The answer is C. The high solvation energy for LI+

Explanation:

LiF has lower solubility because of the high solvation energy of Li+ ion. This is due to the smaller size and very big charge compared to Cs+ ion which has a bigger size and solvent molecules easily surround it.

Solvation energy is simply the amount energy that is required to make a solute dissolve in a solvent.

Answer:

λ = 2.38 × 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

We are given the work function for palladium as 503.7 kJ/mol.

Now let's convert this to KJ/electron.

We know from avogadro's number that;

1 mole of electron = 6.022 × 10^(23) electrons

Thus,

503.7 kJ/mol = 503.7 × 1/(6.022 × 10^(23)) = 8.364 × 10^(-22) KJ/electron = 8.364 × 10^(-19) J/electron

Formula for energy of a photon is;

E = hv

Where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10^(-34) J.s

v is velocity

Now, v = c/λ

Where;

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

λ is wavelength of light.

Thus;

E = hc/λ

Making λ the subject, we have;

λ = hc/E

λ = (6.626 × 10^(-34) × 3 × 10^(8))/(8.364 × 10^(-19))

λ = 2.38 × 10^(-7) m

Find the quantinum numbers n,m,l,s for the last of potassium layer pleasee help explain correctly all

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Quantum numbers of the outermost electron in potassium:

$n = 4$ .
$l = 1$ .
$m_l = 0$ .
Either $m_s = 1/2$ .

Explanation:

Refer to the electron configuration of a potassium atom. The outermost electron in a ground-state potassium atom is in the $4s$ orbital (fourth $s$ orbital.)

The quantum number $n$ (the principal quantum number) specifies the main energy shell of an electron. This electron is in the fourth main energy shell (as seen in the number four in the orbital.) Hence, $n = 4$ for this electron.

The quantum number $l$ (the angular momentum quantum number) specifies the shape ( $s$ , $p$ , $d$ , etc.) of an electron. $l = 1$ for $s\!$ orbitals (such as the one that contains this electron.

Quantum numbers $n$ and $l$ specify the shape of an orbital. On the other hand, the magnetic quantum number $m_l$ specifies the orientation of these orbitals in space.

However, $s$ orbitals are spherical. Regardless of the value of $n$ , the only possible $m_l$ value for electrons in $s\!$ orbitals is $m_l = 0$ .

The spin quantum number $m_s$ distinguishes between the two electrons in an orbital. The two possible values of $m_s \!$ are $(+1/2)$ and $(-1/2)$ . Typically, the first electron in an orbital is assigned an upward ( $\uparrow$ ) spin, which corresponds to $m_s = (+1/2)$ .
