Calculate the wavelength of the line in the absorption line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron from an orbital with =n10 to an orbital with =n11 . Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
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.
The energy
of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula:
In this equation
stands for the Rydberg energy, and
stands for the principal quantum number of the orbital that holds the electron. (You can find the value of the Rydberg energy using the Data button on the ALEKS toolbar.)
