Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forwardNow consider an excited state of He atom with electron configuration 1s' 2s'. In general, the wavefunction is a state: V (r, 0, 6, 02) = V(r, 0, ø)Vo. where V(r, 0, ø) and V, represent the spatial and the spin part. The spatial part is constructed from the wavefunctions of the 1s' and 2s' orbitals denoted as o (r, 0, 6) and ø (r, 0, 6), where subscript k denotes which electron it belongs to (i.e., k is either 1 or 2 since we have two electrons). • The spatial part of the wavefunction can be written 1*(r, 0, 4)o3* (r, 0, 4) + o(r, 0, ¢)o²*(r, 0, 4) V2 F (r, 0, 4)«3"(r, 0, ø) – 05" (r, 0, 4)o²°(r, 0, ø) V2 V2(r, 0, 6) = Vī2(r, 0, 6) = Explain (and demonstrate) which spatial wavefunction (V2(r, 0, 0) or V2(r, 0, 0)) is symmetric with respect to exchange of two electrons?
