Classification of Elements and PeriodicityThe chemical functional group cyano (CN) is an extremely toxic chemical due to how it binds to the iron in our hemoglobin. When the chemical species is further reduced by two electrons, they are donated into a specific orbital in the MO diagram that changes its properties. Please draw the MO diagram for CN³- showing correct energy positioning for atomic and molecular orbitals. Please also calculate the bond order, and identify the HOMO and LUMO.

Inorganic Chemistry
Classification of Elements and PeriodicityScientists can analyze metals using the emission
spectrum produced when the sample is introduced
into the flame of an emission spectrometer. The
flame provides the energy to excite the electrons of
the metal atoms to higher energy states. When the
electrons return to the ground state, lines of
characteristic wavelengths are produced. The lines
in the emission spectrum are characteristic of the
metal because each atom's ground-state electron
configuration is unique.
The emission line used for zinc determinations in atomic emission spectroscopy is 214 nm. If there are 9.00x10¹0 atoms
of zinc emitting light in the instrument flame at any given instant, what energy (in joules) must the flame continuously
supply to achieve this level of emission?
Express your answer numerically in joules.
During an emission, electrons move from a higher energy orbital to a lower energy orbital. Which of the following are valid
transitions that produce lines in the emission spectrum of Zn?

NaOH and KOH: Ba(OH)2 and Ca(OH)2 are only moderately soluble,
6. Most sulfide (S2), carbonate (CO32), and phosphate (PO4) salts are only slightly
soluble."
