To calculate:
(a) the number of sub-shells for n = 2
(b) the electron states n = 2
(c) the number of sub-shells for n = 5
(d) the electron states n = 5

Answer to Problem 1Q
Solution:
(a) For n = 2, it has 2 sub shells.
(b) For n = 2, there will be 8 electron states.
(c) For n = 5, it has 5 sub shells.
(d) For n = 5, there will be 50 electron states
Explanation of Solution
For a given quantum number n there are n possible values of l, ranging from 0 to n −1.
For each l the number of possible electron states with ml values is (2l + 1).
For each ml the electron can have two different spin orientations.
Thus, the total number of electron states for a given l is given by Nl = 2(2 l+ 1).
(e) For n = 2, it has 2 sub shells.
(f) For n = 2, the number of electrons 2n2, there will be 8 electron states.
(g) For n = 5, it has 5 sub shells.
(h) For n = 5, the number of electrons 2n2, there will be 50 electron states
Conclusion
For an l quantum number, there are (2l+1) number of possible ml values.

- Hi! I need help with these calculations for part i and part k for a physics Diffraction Lab. We used a slit width 0.4 mm to measure our pattern.arrow_forwardExamine the data and % error values in Data Table 3 where the angular displacement of the simple pendulum decreased but the mass of the pendulum bob and the length of the pendulum remained constant. Describe whether or not your data shows that the period of the pendulum depends on the angular displacement of the pendulum bob, to within a reasonable percent error.arrow_forwardIn addition to the anyalysis of the graph, show mathematically that the slope of that line is 2π/√g . Using the slope of your line calculate the value of g and compare it to 9.8.arrow_forward
- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem. The distance between an object and its image formed by a diverging lens is 5.90 cm. The focal length of the lens is -2.60 cm. Find (a) the image distance and (b) the object distance.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
