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.

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.)
