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.)
The helium ion He+ is a one-electron system whose wave functions and energy levels are obtained from those for H by changing the atomic number to Z=2 . Calculate the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in the 2s orbital and in the 2p orbital. Compare your results with those in Problem 11 and explain the difference.
The energies of macroscopic objects, as well as those of microscopic objects, are quantized, but the effects of the quantization are not seen because the difference in energy between adjacent states is so small. Apply Bohr’s quantization of angular momentum to the revolution of Earth (mass6.01024kg) , which moves with a speed of 3.0104ms1 in a circular orbit (radius1.51011m) about the sun. The sun can be treated as fixed. Calculate the value of the quantum number n for the present state of the Earthsun system. What would be the effect of an increase in n by 1?
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.

A particle of mass m is placed in a three-dimensional rectangular box with edge lengths 2L, L, and L. Inside the box the potential energy is zero, and outside it is infinite; therefore, the wave function goes smoothly to zero at the sides of the box. Calculate the energies and give the quantum numbers of the ground state and the first five excited states (or sets of states of equal energy) for the particle in the box.
When metallic sodium is dissolved in liquid sodium chloride, electrons are released into the liquid. These dissolved electrons absorb light with a wavelength near 800 nm. Suppose we treat the positive ions surrounding an electron crudely as defining a three-dimensional cubic box of edge L, and we assume that the absorbed light excites the electron from its ground state to the first excited state. Calculate the edge length L in this simple model.
Construct an energy level diagram showing all orbitals for the hydrogen atom up to n=5, labeling each orbital with its appropriate quantum numbers. How many different orbitals are in each shell?
(a) The nitrogen atom has one electron in each of the 2px , 2py , and 2pz orbitals. By using the form of the angular wave functions, show that the total electron density, 2(2px)+2(2py)+2(2pz) , is spherically symmetric (that is, it is independent of the angles and ). The neon atom, which has two electrons in each 2p orbital, is also spherically symmetric. (b) The same result as in part (a) applies to d orbitals, thus a filled or half-filled subshell of d orbitals is spherically symmetric. Identify the spherically symmetric atoms or ions among the following: F , Na, Si, S2,Ar+ , Ni, Cu, Mo, Rh, Sb, W, Au.
Photoelectron spectra were acquired from a sample of gaseous O2 using X-ray radiation with wavelength 0.99 nm and energy 1253.6 eV. The spectrum contained a large peak for photoelectrons with speed of 1.57107ms1 . Calculate the ionization energy of these electrons. Identify the orbital from which they were most likely emitted.
Quantum mechanics predicts that the energy of the ground state of the H atom is 13.6eV . Insight into the magnitude of this quantity is gained by considering several methods by which it can be measured. (a) Calculate the longest wavelength of light that will ionize H atoms in their ground state. (b) Assume the atom is ionized by collision with an electron that transfers all its kinetic energy to the atom in the ionization process. Calculate the speed of the electron before the collision. Express your answer in meters per second (ms1) and miles per hour (milesh1) . (c) Calculate the temperature required to ionize a H atom in its ground state by thermal excitation. (Hint: Recall the criterion for thermal excitation of an oscillator in Planck’s theory of blackbody radiation is that hvkBT .)
