- Check Your Understanding When an election in a hydrogen atom is in the first excited state, what prediction does the Bohr model give about its orbital speed and kinetic energy? What is the magnitude of its orbital angular momentum?arrow_forwardHydrogen gas can only absorb EM radiation that has an energy corresponding to a transition in the atom, just as it can only emit these discrete energies. When a spectrum is taken of the solar corona, in which a broad range of EM wavelengths are passed through very hot hydrogen gas, the absorption spectrum shows all the features of the emission spectrum. But when such EM radiation passes through room-temperature hydrogen gas, only the Lyman series is absorbed. Explain the difference.arrow_forward(a) Using the Pauli exclusion principle and the rules relating the allowed values of the quantum numbers (n,l,ml,ms), prove that the maximum number of electrons in a subshell is 2n2.
