Using Table 5.2, write down the mathematical expression for the 2px wave function for an electronically excited H atom. Estimate the probability of finding the 2px electron if you look in a cubical box of volume of 0.8(pm)3 centered at a distance of 0.5001010m in the =/2 , =0 direction. Does this probability change as you change ? At what angles is the probability of finding the electron smallest and at what angles is the probability the largest? (Note that =2 is the same location as =0 , so don’t double count.)
Estimate the probability of finding an electron which is excited into the 2s orbital of the H atom, looking in a cubical box of volume 0.751036m3 centered at the nucleus. Then estimate the probability of finding the electron if you move the volume searched to a distance of 105.8 pm from the nucleus in the positive z direction. (Note that since these volumes are small, it does not matter whether the volume searched is cubical or spherical.)
Chapter 3 introduced the concept of a double bond between carbon atoms, represented by C=C , with a length near 1.34 Å. The motion of an electron in such a bond can be treated crudely as motion in a one-dimensional box. Calculate the energy of an electron in each of its three lowest allowed states if it is confined to move in a one-dimensional box of length 1.34 Å. Calculate the wavelength of light necessary to excite the electron from its ground state to the first excited state.
In two-photon ionization spectroscopy, the combined energies carried by two different photons are used to remove an electron from an atom or molecule. In such an experiment, a K atom in the gas phase is to be ionized by two different light beams, one of which has a 650-nm wavelength. What is the maximum wavelength for the second beam that will cause two-photon ionization?
Consider an electron for a hydrogen atom in an excited state. The maximum wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that can completely remove (ionize) the electron from the H atom is 1460 nm. What is the initial excited state for the electron (n = ?)?
What are the values of E, L, and Lz for an F8+ atom whose electron has the following wavefunctions, listed as n,l,ml? a 1,0,0 b 3,2,2c 2,1,1d 9,6,3.
What type of relationship (direct or inverse) e xists between wavelength, frequency, and photon energy? What does a photon energy unit of a joule equal?
The maximum in the blackbody radiation intensity curve moves to shorter wavelength as temperature increases. The German physicist Wilhelm Wien demonstrated the relation to be max1/T . Later, Planck’s equation showed the maximum to be max=0.20hc/kt . In 1965, scientists researching problems in telecommunication discovered “background radiation” with maximum wavelength 1.05 mm (microwave region of the EM spectrum) throughout space. Estimate the temperature of space.
Photons are emitted in the Lyman series as hydrogen atoms undergo transitions from various excited states to the ground state. If ground-state He+ are present in the same gas (near stars, for example), can they absorb these photons? Explain.

(c) What is the probability of finding the electron in a spherical shell of 1.0 pm in thickness, at a distance of 52.9 pm from the nucleus?
Suppose an atom in an excited state can return to the ground state in two steps. It first falls to an intermediate state, emitting radiation of wavelength 1 , and then to the ground state, emitting radiation of wavelength 2 . The same atom can also return to the ground state in one step, with the emission of radiation of wavelength . How are 1,2, and related? How are the frequencies of the three radiations related?
