Which statement is true of the quantum mechanical model, but not of the Bohr model? a. Electrons orbit the nucleus in simple circular orbits, just like planets orbit the Sun. b. The exact path that an electron follows within an atom cannot be specified. c. The electron is attracted to the nucleus of the atom.
Your text describes the probability map for an s orbital using an analogy to the earth’s atmosphere. Explain this analogy.
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?
Consider the transition from the energy levels n=5 to n=3. (a) What is the frequency of light associated with this transition? (b) In what spectral region does the transition occur? (c) Is energy absorbed?
The Bohr model works for only one electron species. Why do we discuss it in this text (what's good about it)?
Consider the transition from the energy levels n=2 to n=5. (a) What is the wavelength associated with this transition? (b) In what spectral region does the transition occur? (c) Is energy absorbed?
In J. J. Thompson’s experiment depicted in Figures 1.10 and 1.11, assume that the electrons are initially traveling at a speed of 8.00106ms1 in the +x direction and the electrostatic plates have a length of l=0.10m , between which the electrons are deflected toward the -y direction (downward) by an electric field of magnitude 200Vm1 . (Note that 1volt=1V=1JC1 .) Calculate S, the magnitude of the downward displacement, if the fluorescent screen is located 0.90 m beyond the exit of the region between the two electrostatic plates. No magnetic field is applied to counteract the electrostatic force. (Caution: L is not 1.0 m nor 0.9 m; see Figure 1.11.)
Why was Bohr's theory for the hydrogen atom initially accepted, and why was it ultimately discarded?
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the electron occupies distinct energy states. In one transition between energy states, an electron moves from n=1 to n=2. Is energy absorbed or emitted in the process? Does the electron move closer to or farther from the nucleus?
Determine whether each statement that follows is true or false: a Electron energies are quantized in excited states but not in the ground state. b Line spectra of the elements are experimental evidence of the quantization of electron energies. c Energy is released as an electron passes from ground state to an excited state. d The energy of an electron may be between two quantized energy levels. e The Bohr model explanation of line spectra is still thought to be correct. f The quantum mechanical model of the atom describes orbitals in which electrons travel around the nucleus. g Orbitals are regions in which there is a high probability of finding an electron. h All energy sublevels have the same number of orbitals. i The 3p orbitals of an atom are larger than its 2p orbitals but smaller than its 4p orbitals. j At a given sublevel, the maximum number of d electrons is 5. k The halogens are found in Group 7A/17 of the periodic table. l The dot structure of the alkaline earths is X, where X is the symbol of element in the family. m Stable ions formed by alkaline earth metals are isoelectronic with noble gas atoms. n Atomic numbers 23 and 45 both belong to transition elements. o Atomic number 52, 35, and 18 are arranged in order of increasing atomic size. p Atomic number 7, 16, and 35 are all nonmetals.
