Concept explainers
Interpretation: Using eq. 1.16, the energies of atomic orbitals of hydrogen with n=1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are to be determined and relative spacings of the energy levels is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Atomic orbitals are regions of space around the nucleus of an atom where an electron is likely to be found and it describes the wave like behavior of one electron or pair of electron in an atom.
The most commonly filled orbitals are s, p, d, and f. Each such orbital can filled by a maximum of two electrons, each with opposite spin.
Each atomic orbital may be uniquely labelled by a set of four quantum numbers: n, l,

- by which formula the exchange energy of the configuration of an atom can be calculated?arrow_forwardWhen β-carotene is oxidized in vivo, it breaks in half and forms two molecules of retinal (vitamin A), which is a precursor to the pigment in the retina responsible for vision. The conjugated system of retinal consists of 11 C atoms and 1 O atom. In the ground state of retinal, each level up to n = 6 is occupied by two electrons. Assuming an average internuclear distance of 140 pm, calculate (a) the separation in energy between the ground and first exciteted state in which one electron occupies the state with n = 7, and (b) the frequency of radiation required to produce a transition between these two states. From your results, correct the following sentence (from the options in brackets). The absorption spectrum of a linear polyene shifts to (higher/lower) frequency as the number of conjugated atoms (increases/decreases).arrow_forwardThe ground state electron configuration for iron is: 1s22s22p63s23p43d10 1s22p83d104f6 1s21p61d101f8 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d6arrow_forward
