The total probability of finding an electron in the hydrogen atom is related to the integral ∫ r2 e-2r/ao dr Where r is the distance of the electron from the nucleus and ao is the Bohr radius. Evaluate thisintegral.
The average value (or expected value) of r^k, where r is the distance of an electron in the state with principal quantum number n and orbital quantum number leo proton in the hydrogen atom is given by the integral below, where Pnl(r) is a radial probability density of the state with quantum number n, lek is an arbitrary power. For an electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom. a) calculate <r>nl in terms of the Bohr radius aB b) calculate <l/r>nl in terms of aB c) calculate <U(r)>nl, where U(r) = -e^2/(4piE0r). Respond in eV units. d) Considering also that the electron is in the ground state, estimate the expected value for two kinetic energy <K> and its mean quadratic velocity v. e) Is it justifiable to disregard relativistic corrections for this system? Justify.
(a) How much energy is required to cause an electron in hydrogen to move from the n = 2 state to the n = 5 state? in J(b) Suppose the atom gains this energy through collisions among hydrogen atoms at a high temperature. At what temperature would the average atomic kinetic energy 3/2 * kBT be great enough to excite the electron? Here kB is Boltzmann's constant. in K
