Solved: One way to estimate the effective charge (Zeff) of

Chapter 8, Problem 144P

(choose chapter or problem)

One way to estimate the effective charge \((Z_\mathrm{eff})\) of a many-electron atom is to use the equation \(IE_1 = (1312~\mathrm{ kJ/mol})(Z^2_{eff}/n^2)\), where \(IE_1\) is the first ionization energy and n is the principal quantum number of the shell in which the electron resides. Use this equation to calculate the effective charges of Li, Na, and K. Also calculate \(Z_\mathrm {eff}/n\) for each metal. Comment on your results.
