Read what this module is aiming for. Then open the instrument and work through it.
In this model, a highly negative V is a high coulombic potential energy — and a highly positive V is a low one.
As we’ve seen in this simulation, as the “Q” value of the nucleus increases, the “pull” on the electron also increases, meaning the energy required to remove that electron also increases. The required energy to remove an electron to an “infinite distance away” is called ionization energy. Why do you think it’s called that?
The experimental value for the ionization energy of lithium is actually 0.52 MJ/mol. What does that tell us about the organization of the electrons in lithium?
The intentions behind this module, and the competencies you just practised. Read each competency statement and decide honestly how well it fits you right now.
Write all of the IE equations for the particles on this line. Do not solve the equations — just think about the values of q1, q2, and d.
