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.)

If the transition of an electron fromthe n = 3 state to the n = 2 stateresults in emission of visible light, isthe transition from the n = 2 stateto the n = 1 state more likely toresult in the emission of infrared orultraviolet radiation?
6.113 When an electron makes a transition between energylevels of a hydrogen atom, there are no restrictions onthe initial and final values of the principal quantumnumber n. However, there is a quantum mechanicalrule that restricts the initial and final values of theorbital angular momentum l. This is the selectionrule, which states that Δl = ±1; that is, in atransition, the value of l can only increase or decreaseby 1. According to this rule, which of the followingtransitions are allowed:
