suppose it is hypothesized that it requires more energy to remove an electron from a metal that has atoms with one or more half-filled shells than from those that do not.
- Design a series of experiments involving the photoelectric effect that would test the hypothesis.
- What experimental apparatus would be needed to test the hypothesis? Its not necessary that you name actual equipment but rather that you imagine how the apparatus would work-think in terms of the types of measurements that would be needed, and what capability you would need in your apparatus.
- Describe the type of data you would collect and how you would analyze the data to see whether the hypothesis were correct.
- Could your experiments be extended to test the hypothesis for other parts of the periodic table, such as the lanthanide or actinide elements?
Interpretation: The experiments, apparatus and the type of data to test the given hypothesis is to be determined.
(a) A series of experiment involving the photoelectric effect that would test the hypothesis needs to be designed.
(b) The experimental apparatus required to test the given hypothesis should be determined.
(c)The type of data required to conclude whether the given hypothesis is correct or not should be determined.
(d) If the given hypothesis can be tested on lanthanides or actinides or not should be identified.
Concept Introduction: The light falls on the surface of the metal and results in the ejection of electron form its surface. This process is known as the photoelectric effect.
Answer to Problem 1DE
Solution: (a) When the light incident on the metal plate having one or more half-filled orbital; one does not observe the collection of electrons on the collector plate. But as the energy increases the electrons started collecting on the collector plate. This proves the given hypothesis.
(b) The experimental apparatus to study the photoelectric effect consists of the metal plate, collector plate, battery and voltmeter.
(c) The plot of stopping potential as a function of frequency is used to conclude that the given hypothesis is correct.
(d) The given hypothesis is not applicable on lanthanides and actinides because of the presence of d and f orbitals.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
The hypothesis says that that it requires more energy to remove an electron from the metal that has one or more half filled shells.
The ejection of electrons from the metal surface is tested by using the photoelectric effect by considering the apparatus consists of the metal plate on which the light is incident and the collector plate on which the electrons get collected. These two plates are connected to the electric circuit consists of battery, photodiode with amplifier and the voltmeter with reverse voltage.
When the light incident on the metal plate having one or more half filled orbital; one does not observed the collection of electrons on the collector plate. But as the energy increases the electrons starting collecting on the collector plate. This proves the given hypothesis.
(b)
Explanation:
The apparatus to study the photoelectric effect has the following parts,
- A photodiode with an amplifier.
- A digital voltmeter with reverse voltage.
- Batteries to operate amplifier and to provide reverse voltage.
- A monochromatic light source.
- The incident light beam intensity must adjust using a neutral filter.
The apparatus for testing the given hypothesis is shown below:
Figure 1
(c)
Explanation:
The data of frequency and wave length of different light source is collected and it is used in the apparatus of photoelectric effect. The different percentage transmission values as the function of intensity will be observed. The plot of stopping potential as a function of frequency will be observed from this data which conclude whether the hypothesis is correct or not.
(d)
Explanation:
The given hypothesis says that more energy is required to eject the electron form a metal having half filled orbitals as compared to those who have not. But the orbital of lanthanides and actinides are diffused in nature and they are larger in size. Therefore, they can easily accept and eject electrons by using lower energy radiation. Therefore, the given hypothesis cannot be tested on the lanthanides and actinides.
- The ejection of electrons is tested by using the apparatus consists of metal plate and collector plate.
- The experimental apparatus to study the photoelectric effect consists of the metal plate, collector plate, battery and voltmeter.
- The plot of stopping potential as a function of frequency is used to conclude that the given hypothesis is correct.
- The given hypothesis is not applicable on lanthanides and actinides because of the presence of d and f orbitals.

- In addition to the separation techniques used in this lab (magnetism, evaporation, and filtering), there are other commonly used separation techniques. Some of these techniques are:Distillation – this process is used to separate components that have significantly different boiling points. The solution is heated and the lower boiling point substance is vaporized first. The vapor can be collected and condensed and the component recovered as a pure liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is then raised, the next higher boiling component will come off and be collected. Eventually only non-volatile components will be left in the original solution.Centrifugation – a centrifuge will separate mixtures based on their mass. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge tube which is then spun at a high speed. Heavier components will settle at the bottom of the tube while lighter components will be at the top. This is the technique used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma.Sieving – this is…arrow_forwardBriefly describe a eutectic system.arrow_forward13.53 Draw all stereoisomers formed when each compound is treated with HBr in the presence of peroxides. a. b.
