. What is meant by inert pair effect? explain. List two (2) major reasons for the inert-pair effect.
An experiment called the Stern–Gerlach experiment helpedestablish the existence of electron spin. In this experiment,a beam of silver atoms is passed through a magnetic field,which deflects half of the silver atoms in one direction andhalf in the opposite direction. The separation between thetwo beams increases as the strength of the magnetic fieldincreases. (a) What is the electron configuration for a silveratom? (b) Would this experiment work for a beam of cadmium(Cd) atoms? (c) Would this experiment work for abeam of fluorine (F) atoms?
Why are the observed configurations of, for example, trigonal bipyramidal structures sometimes different for different measuring techniques?

E and d no answerarrow_forwardSemiconductor materials are the basis of modern electronics Conduction band (e.g. the transistors, memory and camera in your cell phones). Common semiconductor materials include Si, GaAs and CdSe. The energy states of semiconductors are generally divided into the valence band, where the electrons are bound to the atoms, 2S(e) 1D(e) and the conduction band where the wavefunction solutions of 1P(e) electrons allow some of them (the excited electrons) to move through the bulk material. The energy difference between the maximum energy level of the valence band, termed the valence band maximum (VBM), and the lowest energy of the conduction band, termed the conduction band minimum (CBM), of bulk CdSe is 1.74 eV. As shown in the figure, this difference is known as the bandgap energy, Eg. The CBM can be regarded as the excited state while the VBM can be regarded as the ground state.
