How do you go about calculating the ionization energies from atoms?
Electron affinities? (KJ/mol)
for example,
"Calculate the change in energy from the first and fourth ionization energies of Be?"
Recently on a test (CHEM AP HIGH SCHOOL), I had a question similar to this on an exam. I got it wrong b/c I believe that bohr's equation only worked for Hydrogen atoms.
E = -2.178 x 10^-18 J (z^2/n^2)
-------------------------------------------------------
Please do not include upper level (meaning above the level of an introductory course in chemistry) material that would enable the calcuations. Please include introductory level "ways" to the change in ionization energies.
Thank you
