State which of the following orbitals cannot exist according to the quantum theory: 2s, 2d, 3p, 3f, 4f, and 5s. Briefly explain your answers.
Until recently, it was thought that Ca was unstable, and that the Ca atom therefore had a negative electron affinity. Some new experiments have now measured an electron affinity of +2.0kJmol1 for calcium. What is the longest wavelength of light that could remove an electron from Ca ? In which region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this light fall?

Suppose that the spin quantum number did not exist, and therefore only one electron could occupy each orbital of a many-electron atom. Give the atomic numbers of the first three noble-gas atoms in this case.
State which of the following orbitals cannot exist according to the quantum theory: 3p, 4s, 2f, and 1p. Briefly explain your answers.
One bit of evidence that the quantum mechanical model is correct lies in the magnetic properties of matter. Atoms with unpaired electrons are attracted by magnetic fields and thus are said to exhibit pararamagnetism. The degree to which this effect is observed is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in the atom. Consider the ground-state electron configurations for Li, N, Ni, Te, Ba, and Hg. Which of these atoms would be expected to be paramagnetic, and how many unpaired electrons are present in each paramagnetic atom?
