23. The electron affinity for Lithium is \( 59.6 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \). If we had 364 mg of elemental Lithium (Li), how much energy would we need to put into the system to create 364 mg of Li?? 24. The electron affinity for sodium is \( 52.8 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \). Why is sodium's electron affinity lower than the electron affinity for lithium?

Rank lithium, beryllium, and boron with respect to atomic size and provide a brief explanation based on atomic structure. In other words, simply citing a general trend on the periodic table is not sufficient. 10. Briefly explain which Period 3 element has the largest effective nuclear charge (Zeff). 11. Briefly explain which Group 2 element has the smallest atomic size or atomic radius. 12. Briefly explain which Period 2 element would have an exceptionally high second ionization energy (i.e., exceptionally difficult to remove two electrons).

Use information from Chapters 8 and 9 to calculate the second ionization energy for the He atom. Compare your result with the tabulated value of $5251 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}.$
Experimentally, the electron affinity of an element can be determined by using a laser light to ionize the anion of the element in the gas phase: $$ \mathrm{X}^{-}(g)+h v \longrightarrow \mathrm{X}(g)+e^{-} $$ Referring to Figure $4.10$, calculate the photon wavelength (in nanometers) corresponding to the electron affinity for chlorine. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this wavelength fall?
