Question
Chapter 17, Problem 28A
To determine
The numbers of electron shells in the hydrogen atom, the lithium atom, and the aluminum atom.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 28A
The numbers of electron shells in the hydrogen atom is one.
The numbers of electron shells in the lithium atom is two.
The numbers of electron shells in the aluminum atom is three.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In an atom, the electrons are in spherical shells and orbit around the nucleus.
The electrons arrangement in the shells orbiting around the atomic nucleus determines the atom’s chemical properties.
The first shell (K) can have a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell L can have a maximum of 8 electrons and the third shell (M) can have a maximum of 18 electrons.
In a hydrogen atom, the number of electrons is one. This means that one electron in one shell.
Hence, the number of electron shells that are there in the hydrogen atom is one.
In a lithium atom, the numbers of electrons are three. This means that three electrons in two shells.
Hence, the numbers of electron shells in the lithium atom is two.
In an aluminum atom, the numbers of electrons are thirteen. This means that thirteen electrons in three shells.
Hence, the numbers of electron shells in the aluminum atom is three.
Conclusion:
Thus, the numbers of electron shells in the hydrogen atom is one.
Thus, the numbers of electron shells in the lithium atom is two.
Thus, the numbers of electron shells in the aluminum atom is three.

- A sinusoidal wave is propagating along a stretched string that lies along the x-axis. The displacement of the string as a function of time is graphed in (Figure 1) for particles at x = 0 and at x = 0.0900 m. You are told that the two points x = 0 and x = 0.0900 m are within one wavelength of each other. If the wave is moving in the +x-direction, determine the wavelength. If instead the wave is moving in the -x-direction, determine the wavelength. Please show all stepsarrow_forwardYou are designing a two-string instrument with metal strings 35.0 cm long, as shown in (Figure 1). Both strings are under the same tension. String S1 has a mass of 8.30 g and produces the note middle C (frequency 262 Hz ) in its fundamental mode. What should be the tension in the string? What should be the mass of string S2 so that it will produce A-sharp (frequency 466 Hz ) as its fundamental? To extend the range of your instrument, you include a fret located just under the strings but not normally touching them. How far from the upper end should you put this fret so that when you press S1 tightly against it, this string will produce C-sharp (frequency 277 Hz ) in its fundamental? That is, what is x in the figure? If you press S2 against the fret, what frequency of sound will it produce in its fundamental?arrow_forwardPlease solve and answer the problem correctly please.
