Spectroscopic studies of Li also show that Zeff(2p)=1.02 . Estimate the energy of the 2p orbital of Li. Calculate the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in the 2p orbital of Li. Comparing your results with those in Problem 13 shows that the energy values differ by about 50%, whereas the average distances are nearly equal. Explain this observation.
Suppose that the spin quantum number had three allowed values (ms=0,+12,12) . Give the atomic numbers of the first three noble-gas atoms in this case.
For the Li atom, the energy difference between the ground state and the first excited state, in which the outermost electron is in a 2p orbital, is 2.961019J . In the Li2+ ion, the energy difference between the 2s and 2p levels is less than 0.00002 of this value. Explain this observation.
Consider the representations of the p and d atomic orbitals in Figs. 2-15 and 2- 17. What do the + and signs indicate?
An experiment called the Stern–Gerlach experiment helpedestablish the existence of electron spin. In this experiment,a beam of silver atoms is passed through a magnetic field,which deflects half of the silver atoms in one direction andhalf in the opposite direction. The separation between thetwo beams increases as the strength of the magnetic fieldincreases. (a) What is the electron configuration for a silveratom? (b) Would this experiment work for a beam of cadmium(Cd) atoms? (c) Would this experiment work for abeam of fluorine (F) atoms?

The Chemistry and Life box in Section 6.7 described the techniquescalled NMR and MRI. (a) Instruments for obtainingMRI data are typically labeled with a frequency, such as 600MHz. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum doesa photon with this frequency belong? (b) What is the valueof ΔE in Figure 6.27 that would correspond to the absorptionof a photon of radiation with frequency 450 MHz? (c) Whenthe 450-MHz photon is absorbed, does it change the spin ofthe electron or the proton on a hydrogen atom?
In the experiment shown schematically below, a beam ofneutral atoms is passed through a magnetic field. Atoms thathave unpaired electrons are deflected in different directionsin the magnetic field depending on the value of the electronspin quantum number. In the experiment illustrated,we envision that a beam of hydrogen atoms splits into twobeams. (a) What is the significance of the observation that the single beam splits into two beams? (b) What do you thinkwould happen if the strength of the magnet were increased?(c) What do you think would happen if the beam of hydrogenatoms were replaced with a beam of helium atoms? Why?(d) The relevant experiment was first performed by OttoStern and Walter Gerlach in 1921. They used a beam of Agatoms in the experiment. By considering the electron configurationof a silver atom, explain why the single beam splitsinto two beams.
