Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- • 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_forward6.17 The laser in most supermarket barcode scanners operates at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. What is the energy of a single photon emitted by such a laser? What is the energy of one mole of these photons?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_forward6.96 When a helium atom absorbs light at 58.44 nm, an electron is promoted from the 1s orbital to a 2p orbital. Given that the ionization energy of (ground state) helium is 2372 kJ/ mol, find the longest wavelength of light that could eject an electron from the excited state helium 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_forward
- The ionization energy of rubidium is 403 kJ/mol. Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forwardThis laser emits green light with a wavelength of 533 nm. (a) What is the energy, in joules, of one photon of light at this wavelength? (b) If a particular laser produces 1.00 watt (W) of power (1 W = 1 J/s), how many photons are produced each second by the laser?arrow_forward
