Chapter 8, Problem 110P(choose chapter or problem)
Experimentally, the electron affinity of an element can be determined by using a laser light to ionize the anion of the element in the gas phase:
\(\mathrm{X}^{-}(g)+h v \longrightarrow \mathrm{X}(g)+e^{-}\)
Referring to Table 8.3, calculate the photon wavelength (in nanometers) corresponding to the electron affinity for chlorine. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this wavelength fall?
