- How is the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom inconsistent with the uncertainty principle? In fact, it was this inconsistency, along with the theorys limited application to non-hydrogen-like systems, that limited Bohrs theory.arrow_forwardWhat experimental evidence supports the quantum theory of light? Explain the wave-particle duality of all matter .. For what size particles must one consider both the wave and the particle properties?arrow_forwardBased on the trend shown in Figure 11.5, draw the probability distribution of a harmonic oscillator wavefunction that has a very high value of n. Explain how this is consistent with the correspondence principle.arrow_forward
- Consider a one-dimensional particle-in-a-box and a three-dimensional particle-in-a-box that have the same dimensions. a What is the ratio of the energies of a particle having the lowest possible quantum numbers in both boxes? b Does this ratio stay the same if the quantum numbers are not the lowest possible values?arrow_forwardThe wave function of an electron in the lowest (that is, ground) state of the hydrogen atom is (r)=( 1 a 0 3 )1/2exp(r a 0 )ao=0.5291010m (a) What is the probability of finding the electron inside a sphere of volume 1.0pm2 , centered at the nucleus (1pm=1012m) ? (b) What is the probability of finding the electron in a volume of 1.0pm2 at a distance of 52.9 pm from the nucleus, in a fixed but arbitrary direction? (c) What is the probability of finding the electron in a spherical shell of 1.0 pm in thickness, at a distance of 52.9 pm from the nucleus?arrow_forwardUse the mathematical expression for the 2pz wave function of a one-electron atom (see Table 5.2) to show that the probability of finding an electron in that orbital anywhere in the x-y plane is 0. What are the nodal planes for a dxz orbital and for a dx2y2 orbital?arrow_forward
- 6.9 If a string of decorative lights includes bulbs with wave-lengths of 480, 580, and 700 mm, what are the frequencies of the lights? Use Figure 6.6 to determine which colors are in the set.arrow_forwardState how many radial, angular, and total nodes are in each of the following hydrogen-like wavefunctions. a 2s b 3s c 3p d 4f e 6g f 7sarrow_forwardShow that the value of the Rydberg constant per photon, 2.179 1018 J, is equivalent to 1312 kJ/mol photons.arrow_forward
- Calculate the energies of an electron in the fourth, fifth, and sixth energy levels of the Bohr hydrogen atom.arrow_forward• identify an orbital (as 1s, 3p, etc.) from its quantum numbers, or vice versa.arrow_forwardIn 1885, Johann Balmer, a mathematician, derived the following relation for the wavelength of lines in the visible spectrum of hydrogen =364.5 n2( n2 4) where in nanometers and n is an integer that can be 3, 4, 5, . . . Show that this relation follows from the Bohr equation and the equation using the Rydberg constant. Note that in the Balmer series, the electron is returning to the n=2 level.arrow_forward
