Calculate the Rydberg constant for the singleelectron (hydrogen-like) ions of helium, potassium, and uranium. Compare each of them with R∞ and determine the percentage difference.
where ?∞ = 1.097 × 10^7 m−1is the Rydberg constant and ? is the atomic number (thenumber of protons found in the nucleus). Calculate the ground state energy of a triplyionised beryllium atom, Be3+ (a beryllium atom with three electrons removed).
You are working on determining the angle that separates two hybridized
orbitals. In the process of determining the coefficients in front of the various
atomic orbitals, you align the first one along the z-axis and the second in the
x/z-plane (so o = 0). The second hybridized orbital was determined to be:
W2 = R1s + R2p, sin 0 + R2p, cos 0
Determine the angle, 0, in degrees to one decimal place (XX.X) that separates
these two orbitals. Assume that the angle will be between 0 and 90 degrees.
