Estimate the probability of finding an electron which is excited into the 2s orbital of the H atom, looking in a cubical box of volume 0.751036m3 centered at the nucleus. Then estimate the probability of finding the electron if you move the volume searched to a distance of 105.8 pm from the nucleus in the positive z direction. (Note that since these volumes are small, it does not matter whether the volume searched is cubical or spherical.)
Consider the representations of the p and d atomic orbitals in Figs. 2-15 and 2- 17. What do the + and signs indicate?
The helium ion He+ is a one-electron system whose wave functions and energy levels are obtained from those for H by changing the atomic number to Z=2 . Calculate the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in the 2s orbital and in the 2p orbital. Compare your results with those in Problem 11 and explain the difference.
The energies of macroscopic objects, as well as those of microscopic objects, are quantized, but the effects of the quantization are not seen because the difference in energy between adjacent states is so small. Apply Bohr’s quantization of angular momentum to the revolution of Earth (mass6.01024kg) , which moves with a speed of 3.0104ms1 in a circular orbit (radius1.51011m) about the sun. The sun can be treated as fixed. Calculate the value of the quantum number n for the present state of the Earthsun system. What would be the effect of an increase in n by 1?

(a) The nitrogen atom has one electron in each of the 2px , 2py , and 2pz orbitals. By using the form of the angular wave functions, show that the total electron density, 2(2px)+2(2py)+2(2pz) , is spherically symmetric (that is, it is independent of the angles and ). The neon atom, which has two electrons in each 2p orbital, is also spherically symmetric. (b) The same result as in part (a) applies to d orbitals, thus a filled or half-filled subshell of d orbitals is spherically symmetric. Identify the spherically symmetric atoms or ions among the following: F , Na, Si, S2,Ar+ , Ni, Cu, Mo, Rh, Sb, W, Au.
Quantum mechanics predicts that the energy of the ground state of the H atom is 13.6eV . Insight into the magnitude of this quantity is gained by considering several methods by which it can be measured. (a) Calculate the longest wavelength of light that will ionize H atoms in their ground state. (b) Assume the atom is ionized by collision with an electron that transfers all its kinetic energy to the atom in the ionization process. Calculate the speed of the electron before the collision. Express your answer in meters per second (ms1) and miles per hour (milesh1) . (c) Calculate the temperature required to ionize a H atom in its ground state by thermal excitation. (Hint: Recall the criterion for thermal excitation of an oscillator in Planck’s theory of blackbody radiation is that hvkBT .)
For the Li atom, the energy difference between the ground state and the first excited state, in which the outermost electron is in a 2p orbital, is 2.961019J . In the Li2+ ion, the energy difference between the 2s and 2p levels is less than 0.00002 of this value. Explain this observation.
