Imagine an atom formed by an electron and neutron bound together by gravitational forces (instead of electrostatic forces). Using the Bohr hypothesis, find the radius of orbit for the 11th energy level of this hypothetical atom, in m. NOTE: This number will be very large. WHY? Compare your answer to the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, which is about 1021 meters across.

Defend and criticize Bohrs model. Why was it reasonable that such a model was proposed, and what evidence was there that it "works"? Why do we no longer "believe" in it?
6.106 When Bohr devised his model for the atom, was he using deductive or inductive reasoning? Explain your answer.
State the postulates of quantum mechanics introduced throughout the chapter in your own words.
Why was Bohr's theory for the hydrogen atom initially accepted, and why was it ultimately discarded?
Why was Schrodinger not able to describe exactly the pathway an electron takes as it moves through the space of an atom?
The electron volt (eV) is a convenient unit of energy for expressing atomic-scale energies. It is the amount of energy that an electron gains when subjected to a potential of 1 volt; 1eV=1.6021019 J. Using the Bohr model, determine the energy, in electron volts, of the photon produced when an electron in a hydrogen atom moves from the orbit with n=5 to the orbit with n=2. Show your calculations.
6.32 What are the mathematical origins of quantum numbers?
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle can be expressed in the form Eth4 where E represents energy and t represents time. Show that the units for this form are the same as the units for the form used in this chapter: x(mv)h4
Suppose that the spin quantum number could have the values 12,0 and 12 . Assuming that the rules governing the values of the other quantum numbers and the order of filling sublevels were unchanged, (a) what would be the electron capacity of an s sublevel? a p sublevel? a d sublevel? (b) how many electrons could fit in the n=3 level? (c) what would be the electron configuration of the element with atomic number 8? 17?
Although we may draw the 4s orbital with the shape of a ball, there is some probability of finding the electron outside the ball we draw. Is this statement true or false? Comment on this statement.
Your text describes the probability map for an s orbital using an analogy to the earth’s atmosphere. Explain this analogy.
