Atomic Structure

The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.

Shape of the D Orbital

Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.

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.)
Suppose that the spin quantum number did not exist, and therefore only one electron could occupy each orbital of a many-electron atom. Give the atomic numbers of the first three noble-gas atoms in this case.
6.103 Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on the atomic spectra of the elements being studied. It can be used to determine the impurities in a metal sample. If an element is present, light at the appropriate wavelength is absorbed. You are working with a metal stamping company and the rolled steel you use to form panels for automobile doors is failing at an alarming rate. There is some chance that the problem is unacceptably high levels of manganese in the steel. Given that the atomic spectrum of manganese has three lines near 403 nm, how could you use a spectrometer to determine the amount of manganese in the steel?

Chapter 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.
Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet light of wavelengths shorter than 320 nm, thus filtering out the most energetic radiation from sunlight. During this absorption, an ozone molecule absorbs a photon, which breaks an oxygen-oxygen bond, yielding an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom: O3(g)+hvO2(g)+O(g) (Here, hv denotes a photon.) Suppose a flask of ozone is irradiated with a pulse of UV light of wavelength 275 nm. Assuming that each photon of this pulse that is absorbed breaks up one ozone molecule, calculate the energy absorbed per mole of O2 produced, giving the answer in kJ/mol.

6.101 Laser welding is a technique in which a tightly focused laser beam is used to deposit enough energy to weld metal parts together. Because the entire process can be automated, it is commonly used in many large-scale industries, including the manufacture of automobiles. In order to achieve the desired weld quality, the steel parts being joined must absorb energy at a rate of about 104 W/mm2. (Recall that 1 W = 1 J/s.) A particular laser welding system employs a Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1.06m ; at this wavelength steel will absorb about 80% of the incident photons. If the laser beam is focused to illuminate a circular spot with a diameter of 0.02 inch, what is the minimum power (in watts) that the laser must emit to reach the 104 W/mm2 threshold? How many photons per second does this correspond to? (For simplicity, assume that the energy from the laser does not penetrate into the metal to any significant depth.)

As the interaction between the nucleus and the electron determines the structure of the energy levels of the H atom, any quantum object that has a positively and a negatively charged particle with no other interactions should have a similar structure of energy levels.

Calculate the first two energy levels for this unusual atom in eV. What wavelength (in nm) for a transition between these two energy levels?
