c. n= 2, 1 = 0. 2. Calculate the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a shell with (a) n = 2, (b) n = 3, and (c) n as a variable. Note you are only looking at the orbitals with the specified n value, not those at lower energies.

3) The electron in the |3,1,1> state of a Hydrogen atom is replaced with a spin-1 particle X. (For simplicity, just assume identical charge and mass as an electron.) The new particle is still in the |3,1,-1> state (in |n,l,m> notation). The z-component of the spin angular momentum of X is measured to be ħ. A "J." and a " J?" measurement are then made on X. (Measuring the combined angular momentum magnitude, orbital + spin.) What are the possible results, and what are the probabilities of each result? (Give measurement results, not quantum numbers.) (Use The Clebsch Gordon Table 11.5, which shows how to add l=1 and s=1 angular momenta.)

Angular momentum and Spin. An electron in an H-atom has orbital angular momentum magnitude and z-component given by L² = 1(1+1)ħ², Lz = m₁h, 1 = 0,1,2,..., n 1 - m₁ = 0, ±1, ±2, ..., ±l 3 S² = s(s+1) h² = =h²₁ 4 Consider an excited electron (n > 1) on an H-atom. The total angular momentum ] = L + Š, whose magnitude and z-component follow a similar dependence to some quantum numbers j and m; as J² = j(j + 1)ħ², Jz = mjħ 1 S₂ = m₂h = ± = h Where j and m; are quantum numbers which assume values that jumps in steps of one such that j is non-negative and −j ≤ m¡ ≤ j. For a given quantum number 1, what are the (two) possible values for j? Clue: we can use the vector sum relation of angular momenta, then consider the z-component only.
