- Based on the trend shown in Figure 11.5, draw the probability distribution of a harmonic oscillator wavefunction that has a very high value of n. Explain how this is consistent with the correspondence principle.arrow_forwardHow many nodal planes exist for a 5d orbital? (a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 3arrow_forwardThe following are sets of rotational quantum numbers (J,MJ,K). Label each indicated transition as either allowed or forbidden. Hint: Remember the rules for allowed values of the various quantum numbers. a (5,4,0)(3,6,0)b (8,2,2)(9,2,2) c (7,4,2)(7,4,2)d (4,2,5)(3,2,5)arrow_forward
- What are the degeneracies of the H atom wavefunctions when spin is accounted for? Give a general formula.arrow_forwardWhat are the values of E, L, and Lz for an F8+ atom whose electron has the following wavefunctions, listed as n,l,ml? a 1,0,0 b 3,2,2c 2,1,1d 9,6,3.arrow_forwardWhy does the concept of antisymmetric wavefunctions not need to be considered for the hydrogen atom?arrow_forward
- Why does the wavefunction 4,4,0 not exist? Similarly, why does a 3f subshell not exist? See exercise 11.73 for notation definition.arrow_forwardExplain why no lines in the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom spectrum have wavenumbers larger than about 27,434cm1. This is called the series limit.arrow_forwardChapter 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.arrow_forward
