(a) The energy of the 2s state of lithium is -5.391 eV.

Chapter 41, Problem 41.34

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) The energy of the 2s state of lithium is -5.391 eV. Calculate the value of Zeff for this state. (b) The energy of the 4s state of potassium is -4.339 eV. Calculate the value of Zeff for this state. (c) Compare Zeff for the 2s state of lithium, the 3s state of sodium (see Example 41.9), and the 4s state of potassium. What trend do you see? How can you explain this trend?
