1a.Consider a neutral carbon atom that has six electronsorbiting the nucleus. Suppose that five of the electrons are intheir lowest states, but the sixth is in a very high state. Whymight the energy levels for the outermost electron be similar tothose for the single electron in hydrogen. (Hint: think of what isexerting an electrical force on the outermost electron)

1c. a) How many times more abundant is Helium than sodium
b) In general what can be said of the abundances of elementsheavier than iron.
c) Calculate the ratio of iron to Uranium, iron to carbon andiron to iodine.
d) Do your values in C support what you said in B. Yes or no.Why?
