(a) Write the electron configuration for Li, and estimate the effective nuclear charge

Chapter 7, Problem 7.106

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Write the electron configuration for Li, and estimate the effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electron. (b) The energy of an electron in a one-electron atom or ion equals (-2.18 X 10-l B J)(:) where Z is the nuclear charge and n is the principal quantum number of the electron. Estimate the first ionization energy of Li. (c) Compare the result of your calculation with the value reported in table 7.4, and explain the difference. (d) What value of the effective nuclear charge gives the proper value for the ionization energy? Does this agree with your explanation in (c)?
