Question

Hello guys, any help is appreciated. Thank you so much

3. The graph compares the 1s orbital energies for the F atom (Z = 9), the Ne+ ion (Z = 10), and the Na++ ion (Z = 11).


a. How many electrons does each species have? (1 point)




b. According to the graph, which species is most stable? (1 point)


c. Use Coulomb's law to explain the energy measurements shown in the graph and how this affects the distribution of electrons. (2 points)

Answer 1

See my response to Bill just one or two posts below.
Next, explain in some detail what you don't understand about your problem. Remember we can't see the graph you are seeing.

Answer 2

a. How many electrons does each species have? (1 point)
LOL
9 = 9
10 - 1 = 9
11 - 2 = 9
If it has a charge of +1, then it lost one electron and has one more positive protons than it has negative electrons
I can not see your pictures so that is all I can help with.

Answer 3

Thanks! I was just confused about Na++, I didn't know that it could exist. That is very helpful!! The graph shows F having the highest orbital energy, Ne+ having the second-highest, and Na++ having the lowest
