Question: If the outer electron in sodium moves in the n = 3 Bohr orbit, the effective nuclear charge would be Ze = 1e, and the

If the outer electron in sodium moves in the n = 3 Bohr orbit, the effective nuclear charge would be Z’e = 1e, and the energy of the electron would be –13.6 eV/32 = –1.51 eV. However, the ionization energy of sodium is 5.14 eV, not 1.51 eV. Use this fact and Equation 37-45 to calculate the effective nuclear charge Z’ seen by the outer electron in sodium. Assume that r = 9a0 for the outer electron.
