34. Between 1999 and 2007 the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer satellite analyzed the spectra of emission sources within the Milky Way. Among the satellite's findings were interplanetary clouds containing oxygen atoms that have lost five electrons. (a) Write an electron configuration for these highly ionized oxygen atoms. (b) Which electrons have been removed from the neutral atoms? (c) The ionization energies corresponding to removal of the third, fourth, and fifth electrons are 4581 kJ/mol, 7465 kJ/mol, and 9391 kJ/mol, respectively. Explain why removal of each additional electron requires more energy than removal of the previous one.
