10. Consider two hydrogen atoms. The electron in the first one is in n=1 state, whereas in the second the electron
is in the n=3 state. (a) which atom is in the ground state configuration? Why? (b) Which orbital has a larger
radius? (c) Which electron is moving faster and why? (d) Which electron has a lower potential energy? (e)
Which atom has higher ionization energy? Hint: assume that the radius of the n=3 orbital is =5 rB
For each of the statements below, indicate whether it is true or false and explain your reasoning. (1
sentence )
1/ It takes more energy to ionize an electron from the 2s orbital than an electron from the 2p orbital
in the Li2+ ion.
2/ The electron affinity of the Ne atom is larger than the electron affinity of the F atom.
3/ K* has a larger radius than Ar.
4/ For a diatomic molecule, in which the internuclear axis is the z-axis, the 3dz? orbital cannot mix
with the 2px orbital.
5/ The internuclear distance of O2 increases as it takes an additional electron to become O2".
Three of the term symbols that correspond to a nd3 electron configuration are 2P, 2F, and 4P. Rank these in terms of increasing energy.
