Like many of the molecules we have studied in this class, propene (structure shown below) can be thought of as a particle in a box. There are three t-electrons. Since I can put two electrons in each energy level, the highest-energy electron is in the n = 2 state (the HOMO). What does the wave for this electron look like? n = 3 lowest unoccupie molecular orbital (LUMO) n = 2 highest occupiedi molecular orbital (НОМО) . n = 1 Select one: Оа. O b. О с. O d. None of these shapes are right.

rue or false? The hydrogen atom has a 3 orbital. Explain.
Spinets are solids with the general formula M2+ (M3+)2O4 (where M2+ and M3+ are metal cations of the same or different metals). The best-known example is common magnetite, Fe3O4 [which you can formulate as (Fe2+)(Fe3+)2O4]. A crystal of a spinet (a) Given its name, it is evident that magnetite is ferromagnetic. How many unpaired electrons are in iron(II) and in iron(III) ions? (b) Two other spinets are CoAl2O4 and SnCo2O4. What metal ions are involved in each? What are their electron configurations? Are the metal ions paramagnetic, and if so, how many unpaired electrons are involved?
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.

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.)
6.103 Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on the atomic spectra of the elements being studied. It can be used to determine the impurities in a metal sample. If an element is present, light at the appropriate wavelength is absorbed. You are working with a metal stamping company and the rolled steel you use to form panels for automobile doors is failing at an alarming rate. There is some chance that the problem is unacceptably high levels of manganese in the steel. Given that the atomic spectrum of manganese has three lines near 403 nm, how could you use a spectrometer to determine the amount of manganese in the steel?
Calculate the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in a hydrogen atom when the electron is in the 2s orbital. Repeat the calculation for an electron in the 2p orbital.

2. Electrons in molecules can be found in orbitals that extend over more than one atom. Consider one electron that is confined in a molecular orbital that extends over 8 adjacent carbon atoms. The electron can move freely between the 8 atoms. a) Using the one-dimensional particle-in-the-box model, calculate the energy required to promote an electron from the n = 2 to the n = 5 level. The length of the box is determined by the C-C bond distance, which is 139 pm.Note: The following information may or may not be useful. ?? = ?2ℎ28???2 Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10-34 J·s; Mass of Electron = 9.109 x 10-28 g; Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 107 m-1; Speed of Light = 2.998 x 108 m·s-1 b) What frequency of light would cause this excitation?c) Now imagine a straight chain of 2000 carbon atoms.
