Consider the electronic structure of the element bismuth.
a) The first ionization energy of bismuth is Ei1 = +703 kJ / mol. What is the longest possible wavelength of light that could ionize an atom of bismuth?
b) Write the electronic configurations of neutral Bi and Bi+ cation.
c) What are the n and l quantum numbers of the electron removed when Bi is ionized to Bi+?
d) Would you expect element 115 to have ionization energy greater than, equal to, or less than that of bismuth? Explain.

Consider the electronic structure of the element bismuth. The first ionization energy of bismuth is Ei1 = +703 kJ / mol. What is
the longest possible wavelength of light that could ionize an atom of bismuth?
Write the electronic configurations of neutral Bi and Bi+ cation.
What are the n and l quantum numbers of the electron removed when Bi is ionized to Bi+?
Would you expect element 115 to have ionization energy greater than, equal to, or less than that of bismuth? Explain.
