Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- • identify an orbital (as 1s, 3p, etc.) from its quantum numbers, or vice versa.arrow_forwardWhat are quantum numbers? What information do we get from the quantum numbers n, l, and ml? We define a spin quantum number (ms), but do we know that an electron literally spins?arrow_forwardWhat experimental evidence supports the quantum theory of light? Explain the wave-particle duality of all matter .. For what size particles must one consider both the wave and the particle properties?arrow_forward
- (a) Use the radial wave function for the 3p orbital of a hydrogen atom (see Table 5.2) to calculate the value of r for which a node exists. (b) Find the values of r for which nodes exist for the 3s wave function of the hydrogen atom.arrow_forwardState which of the following orbitals cannot exist according to the quantum theory: 3p, 4s, 2f, and 1p. Briefly explain your answers.arrow_forwardThe ionization energy of rubidium is 403 kJ/mol. Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forward
- What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?arrow_forwardSuppose that the spin quantum number did not exist, and therefore only one electron could occupy each orbital of a many-electron atom. Give the atomic numbers of the first three noble-gas atoms in this case.arrow_forwardUse the mathematical expression for the 2pz wave function of a one-electron atom (see Table 5.2) to show that the probability of finding an electron in that orbital anywhere in the x-y plane is 0. What are the nodal planes for a dxz orbital and for a dx2y2 orbital?arrow_forward
