Answer: The ionization energy of a certain element is 412
Chapter 7, Problem 127P(choose chapter or problem)
The ionization energy of a certain element is 412 kJ/mol (see Problem 7.125). However, when the atoms of this element are in the first excited state, the ionization energy is only 126 kJ/mol. Based on this information, calculate the wavelength of light emitted in a transition from the first excited state to the ground state.

QUESTION:
The ionization energy of a certain element is 412 kJ/mol (see Problem 7.125). However, when the atoms of this element are in the first excited state, the ionization energy is only 126 kJ/mol. Based on this information, calculate the wavelength of light emitted in a transition from the first excited state to the ground state.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
From the given,
Ionization energy of the element in the ground state = 412 KJ/mol
Ionization energy of the element in the excited state = 126 KJ/mol
