Vanadium ionization energy

The ionization energy of vanadium from the ground state is 650.2 kJ/moL Assume that the transition in (3) is from the ground state to an excited state. If that is the case, calculate the ionization energy from the excited state.

For vanadium and chromium the first ionization energies are much lower than the first ionization energies of phosphorus and sulphur, respectively. This explains the high heats of formation of VC13 and CrCl3. In uranium, the tetravalent state is more stable than that in tungsten because uranium as an actinide has a different electron configuration. 

Identify the element with the higher first ionization energy in each of the following pairs (a) iron and cobalt (b) manganese and iron (c) vanadium and chromium. 

The loss of free atoms in the atomizer is also a function of the chemistry of the sample. If the oxide of the analyte element is readily formed, the free atoms will form oxides in the flame and the population of free atoms will simultaneously decrease. This is the case with elements such as chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium. On the other hand, some metal atoms are stable in the flame and the free atoms exist for a prolonged period. This is particularly so with the noble metals platinum, gold, and silver. Adjusting the fuel/oxidant ratio can change the flame chemistry and atom distribution in the flame as shown in Fig. 6.17(b). Atoms with small ionization energies will ionize readily at high temperatures (and even at moderate temperatures). In an air-acetylene flame, it can be shown that moderate concentrations of potassium are about 50% ionized, for example. Ions do not absorb atomic lines. 

Use a reliable source on the internet to find twelve successive ionization energies for calcium and vanadium. Plot logarithms (to the base 10) of the values. Relate the oxidation states and detailed electron configuration of each element to the graphs. 

In Hierl s model the very different isotopic branching of Ai+ and Ki+ is essentially attributable to the different electronic properties (ionization potentials) of these two species. Recently it has been demonstrated very directly how changing the electronic structure of one and the same ion affects its isotopic branching behaviour [27]. Vanadium ions were prepared using electron of different energy.
