True or false? (a) The photon emitted in an n = 3 to n = 2 transition in the H atom has a lowerfrequency than the photon for an n = 2 to n = 1 H-atom transition. (b) The groundstate energy ofHe is about 4 times the ground-state energy of H. (c) yis zero at the nucleus for all H-atomstationary states. (d) For the ground state of the H atom, y2 is a maximum at the nucleus. (e) Themost probable value of the electron–nucleus distance in a ground-state H atom is zero. ( f ) Thesmallest allowed value of the atomic quantum number n is 0. (g) For H atom stationary stateswith l = 0, yis independent of qand f. (h) For the H-atom ground state, the electron is confinedto move on the surface of a sphere centered around the nucleus. (i) For the H-atom ground state, the electron is confined to move within a sphere of fixed radius.
What is the (a) energy in eV and (b) wavelength in um of a photon that, when absorbed by a hydrogen atom, could cause a transition from the n = 3 to then= 6 energy level?
An excited H atom is in a 6d state. (a) Name all thestates(n,L) to which the atom is “allowed” to make atransition with the emission of a photon. (b) How manydifferent wavelengths are there (ignoring fine structure)?
