Electrons are emitted with zero velocity from a metal surface when it is exposed to radiation of wavelength 6800 Å. Calculate threshold frequency (v0) and work function (W0) of the metal.
Given λ = 6800 amgstrom or 6800x 10-10 m = 6.8 x 10-7m
C = 3 x 108 m/s
Also λ = c/v or v = c/ λ Therefore putting the values in the equation, we get
=3 x 108 / 6.8 x 10-7m = 4.41 x 1014 s-1
Hence, work function (W0) of the metal = hν0
= (6.626 × 10–34 Js) (4.41 × 1014 s–1)
= 2.922 × 10–19 J
The first (ΔiH1) and the second (ΔiH) ionization enthalpies (in kJ mol–1) and the (ΔegH) electron gain enthalpy (in kJ mol–1) of a few elements are given below:
Elements | ΔiH1 | ΔiH | ΔegH |
I | 520 | 7300 | -60 |
II | 419 | 3051 | -48 |
III | 1681 | 3374 | -328 |
IV | 1008 | 1846 | -295 |
V | 2372 | 5251 | +48 |
VI | 738 | 1451 | -40 |
Which of the above elements is likely to be :
(a) the least reactive element.
(b) the most reactive metal.
(c) the most reactive non-metal.
(d) the least reactive non-metal.
(e) the metal which can form a stable binary halide of the formula MX2, (X=halogen).
(f) the metal which can form a predominantly stable covalent halide of the formula MX (X=halogen)?

Thanks
Work function=h*threshold frequency Not h*frequency
Thanx
Thanks
