An Energy-level Diagram

Each orbital is represented by a square. The most stable orbital (its electrons being held most tightly by the nucleus) is the Is orbital, at the bottom of the diagram. Energy is required to lift an electron from a stable orbital to a less stable one, above it in the diagram. 

Energy-level diagram of electron shells and subshells of the elements. 

The electrons are shown being introduced in sequence the first and second in the Kv orbital, the next two in the Is orbital, the next six in the 2p orbitals, and so on. The sequence is indicated by arrows. The symbol and atomic number of each element are shown adjacent to the outermost electron (least tightly held electron) in the neutral atom. 

The electron configuration is indicated by the sequence along this path, up to the symbol of the element. Thus the electron configuration of nitrogen is ls 2s 2p and that of scandium is ls-2s-2p 3s-3pHs-3d.

Derivation of an energy level diagram shows that it consists of two sets of energy levels, one corresponding to the single lines and the other to the double lines, and that no transitions between the two sets of levels are observed. For this reason it was suggested that helium exists in two separate forms. In 1925 it became clear that, when account is taken of electron spin, the two forms are really singlet helium and triplet helium. 

In X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a beam of soft X-rays with energy hv s. focused onto the surface of a solid that is held under an ultra-high vacuum, resulting in the ejection of photoelectrons from core levels of the atoms in the solid [20]. Fig. 15 shows an energy level diagram for an atom and illustrates the processes involved in X-ray-induced photoelectron emission from a solid. 

An energy-level diagram demonstrates that the net energy change for a chemical reaction (A S ) has the same value regardless of the path used to accomplish the reaction. 

Part (d) asks for an energy level diagram for this process. The electron starts in the ground state. On absorption of a photon, the electron moves to an energy level that is higher by 239 kJ/mol. The chromium ion loses 28.0% of its excited-state energy as heat as the electron moves to a different level...

The KA values reported by Williams et al. can be used to calculate the relative change in free energy for the enzyme-ligand complexes as described in Chapter 3, fixing the AG ng for the free enzyme at zero (Table 6.3). These data allow us to construct an energy level diagram for the process of time-dependent inhibition of...
