For all these compounds use of Koopmans theorem and ab initio SCF M.O. calculations give very poor predictions of the P.E. spectrum as the metal ionization energies given are much too high. ASCF calculations indicate considerable orbital relaxation for metal based orbitals on ionization, but still do not achieve the correct ordering of ion states 16,117>118). [Pg.94]

Similarly, adsorption of ions (n+) onto a metal surface leads to a heat of adsorption of Q,. Generally, Q is about 2-3 eV and is greater than Q, which itself is about 1 eV. The difference between Q, and is the energy required to ionize neutrals (n ) on a metal surface so as to give ions (n+) or vice versa. This difference, Q - Q, can be equal to, greater than, or less than the difference, I - ( ), between the ionization energy (1) of the neutral and the ease with which a metal can donate or accept an electron (the work function, ( )). Where Q, - Q, > I - ( ), the adsorbed... [Pg.47]

If there is a different material (M) on the heated metal surface, M will be evaporated as the temperature increases. The ionization energy (ionization potential, I) of M is also measured in electron volts. [Pg.388]

Potassium, a soft, low density, silver-colored metal, has high thermal and electrical conductivities, and very low ionization energy. One useful physical property of potassium is that it forms Hquid alloys with other alkah metals such as Na, Rb, and Cs. These alloys have very low vapor pressures and melting points. [Pg.515]

The hydrogen atom has a high ionization energy (1312kJmol ) and in this it resembles the halogens rather than the alkali metals. Removal of the Is electron leaves a bare proton which, having a radius of only about 1.5 x 10 pm, is not a stable chemical entity in the condensed phase. However, when bonded to other species it is well known in solution and in... [Pg.36]

Boron is unique among the elements in the structural complexity of its allotropic modifications this reflects the variety of ways in which boron seeks to solve the problem of having fewer electrons than atomic orbitals available for bonding. Elements in this situation usually adopt metallic bonding, but the small size and high ionization energies of B (p. 222) result in covalent rather than metallic bonding. The structural unit which dominates the various allotropes of B is the B 2 icosahedron (Fig. 6.1), and this also occurs in several metal boride structures and in certain boron hydride derivatives. Because of the fivefold rotation symmetry at the individual B atoms, the B)2 icosahedra pack rather inefficiently and there... [Pg.141]

The mles can readily be extended to isoelectronic anions and carbaboranes (BH=B =C) and also to metalloboranes (p. 174), metallocarbaboranes (p. 194) and even to metal clusters themselves, though they become less reliable the further one moves away from boron in atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity, etc. [Pg.178]

Several atomic and physical properties of the elements are given in Table 16.2. The trends to larger size, lower ionization energy and lower electronegativity are as expected. The trend to metallic conductivity is also noteworthy indeed, Po resembles its horizontal neighbours Bi, Pb and T1 not only in this but in its moderately high density and notably low mp and bp. [Pg.753]

What trend is observed in the first ionization energy as you move from lithium down the column I metals On this basis, can you suggest a reason why potassium or cesium might be used in preference to sodium or lithium in photoelectric cells ... [Pg.273]

The location of the metals in the periodic table is shown in Figure 17-4. We see that the metals are located on the left side of the table, while the nonmetals are exclusively in the upper right corner. Furthermore, the elements on the left side of the table have relatively low ionization energies. We shall see that the low ionization energies of the metallic elements aid in explaining many of the features of metallic behavior. [Pg.304]

We have seen that the reasons for the mobility of electrons in metals are that they are readily removed from the atom (the ionization energy is... [Pg.306]

We have seen that the pure elements may solidify in the form of molecular solids, network solids, or metals. Compounds also may condense to molecular solids, network solids, or metallic solids. In addition, there is a new effect that does not occur with the pure elements. In a pure element the ionization energies of all atoms are identical and electrons are shared equally. In compounds, where the most stable electron distribution need not involve equal sharing, electric dipoles may result. Since two bonded atoms may have different ionization energies, the electrons may spend more time near one of the positive nuclei than near the other. This charge separation may give rise to strong intermolecular forces of a type not found in the pure elements. [Pg.306]
