- Write the electron configuration for potassium.arrow_forwardCalculate the probability that the electron in the hydrogen atom, in its ground state, will be found between spherical shells whose radii are a and 2a, where a is the Bohr radius.arrow_forwardThe wavefunction for an electron in the Hydrogen atom is provided in figure 1, where B is a constant, and a0 is the Bohr radius. By inspection and using the angular part of the wavefunction, identify the value of the quantum numbers l and ml, then operate on this wavefunction with Lˆz, and use your result to verify the value of ml identified.arrow_forward
- A simple illustration of the variation method is provided by the hydrogen atom in the 1s state. Let us assume a form of the trial wave function ψ=e–br where b is a constant. For hydrogen atom, V=-e2/r, so the Hamiltonian operator is Ĥ=-h2/8π2m V2- e2/r.The energy depends on r for the 1s state of the hydrogen atom so the angular portion of the Laplacian can be omitted and replaced by the factor 4π after integration. Therefore, the radial portion of V2=1/r2 (∂/∂r) r2 ∂/∂r. Solve the energy minimum of the hydrogen atom, E = -2π2 me4/h2.arrow_forwardCalculate the radial probability density P(r) for the hydrogen atom in its ground state at (a) r= 0, (b) r = a, and (c) r = 2a, where a is the Bohr radius.arrow_forwardThe radial wave function of a quantum state of Hydrogen is given by R(r)= (1/[4(2π)^{1/2}])a^{-3/2}( 2 - r/a ) exp(-r/2a), where a is the Bohr radius.(a) Sketch the graph of R(r) x r. For a decent sketch of this graph, take into account some values of R(r) at certain points of interest, such as r=0, 2a, 4a, and so on. Also take into account the extremes of the function R(r) and their inflection points, as well as the limit r--> infinity.arrow_forward
