(a) (3 pts) The ground state of Li is 1s22s1, so the excited state is obtained by a 2s →2p promotion,
the two subshells of n = 2, being of different energies (2p > 2s) for the multiple electron Li atom. The
Li2+ cation is a single electron system, so that the energy only depends on n, which means energies
2p ≅ 2s. (b) (2 pts) Li, because second ionization requires breaking the 1s2 shell.

(a) (6 points) The configuration of Zn2+ is [Ar]3d10 [ ≡ (t2g)6(eg)4)]. The filled 3d subshell means
electronic transition energies will be high – outside the visible region, hence Zn2+ does not absorb in
the visible region. (3 pts)
[PtI6]2- must absorb in the short (blue), medium (green) and long (red) wavelength range in the
visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum and thus appears black. (3 pts)
(b) (3 points) According to the spectrochemical series, CN- is a more strongly bonding ligand than
H2O. Consequently, crystal field splitting, ∆ should increase, and the wavelength of the absorption
(λ = hc / ∆ ) should decrease. Thus, the shift of the absorption is in the expected direction.

Yes, the fraction (or ratio) of the speed exceeding the escape velocity (31.5%) is larger in helium,
which makes low abundancy of the helium in the atmosphere.

Water makes a separate layer from acetone/chloroform. Some of the acetone from the azeotrope
mixture layer is extracted to the water layer, which breaks the acetone/chloroform ratio in the
