- What experimental evidence supports the quantum theory of light? Explain the wave-particle duality of all matter .. For what size particles must one consider both the wave and the particle properties?arrow_forward• identify an orbital (as 1s, 3p, etc.) from its quantum numbers, or vice versa.arrow_forward(a) Use the radial wave function for the 3p orbital of a hydrogen atom (see Table 5.2) to calculate the value of r for which a node exists. (b) Find the values of r for which nodes exist for the 3s wave function of the hydrogen atom.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is a valid set of quantum numbers for an electron in a hydrogen atom? (a) n = 1, = 0, m = 0, ms = 1 (b) n = 1, = 1, m = 0, ms = 1/2 (c) n = 1, = 0, m = 1, ms = + 1/2 (d) n = 1, = 0, m = 0, ms = 1/2arrow_forwardWhat is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from a hydrogen atom when the electron undergoes the transition n = 4 to n = 1? In what region of the spectrum does this line occur? (See Figure 7.5.)arrow_forwardImagine a world in which the rule for the l quantum number is that values start with 1 and go up to n. The rules for the n and mi quantum numbers are unchanged from those of our world. Write the quantum numbers for the first two shells (i.e., n = 1 and n = 2).arrow_forward
- Consider burning ethane gas, C2H6 in oxygen (combustion) forming CO2 and water. (a) How much energy (in J) is produced in the combustion of one molecule of ethane? (b) What is the energy of a photon of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 12.6 nm? (c) Compare your answers for (a) and (b).arrow_forwardWhich of the following represent valid sets of quantum numbers? For a set is invalid, explain briefly why it is not correct.(a) n = 3, ℓ = 3, mℓ = 0(b) n = 2, ℓ = 1, mℓ = 0(c) n = 6, ℓ = 5, mℓ = ‒1(d) n = 4, ℓ = 3, mℓ = ‒4arrow_forwardSolve all parts otherwise I will downvotearrow_forward
- Determine whether each of the following sets of quantum numbersfor the hydrogen atom are valid. If a set is not valid, indicatewhich of the quantum numbers has a value that is not valid:(a) n = 4, l = 1, ml = 2, ms = -12(b) n = 4, l = 3, ml = -3, ms = +12(c) n = 3, l = 2, ml = -1, ms = +12(d) n = 5, l = 0, ml = 0, ms = 0(e) n = 2, l = 2, ml = 1, ms = +1/2arrow_forward(a) The molar mass of silver is 107.9 g/mol. What is the mass of a single silver atom? Avogadro’s number = 6.02 x 1023 mol-1(b) Determine the wavelength of light that results from an electron moving between the n=4 and the n=3 shells of the H atom. H = 6.626 x 10-34 Js, c = 3 x 108 ms-1In one sentence explain why this is not the same energy released if an electron falls from the 4p to the 3s orbital in He.arrow_forward2. An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited from the ground state to the n=4 state. Comment on the correctness of the following statements (true or false and why?). %3D (a) n = 4 is the first excited state. (b) It takes more energy to ionize (remove) the electron from n = 4 than from the ground state. (c) The electron is farther from the nucleus (on average) in n = 4 than in the ground state. (d) The wavelength of light emitted when the electron drops from n = 4 to n = 1 is longer than that from n =4 to n =2. (e) The wavelength the atom absorbs in going from n= 1 to n=4 is the same as that emitted as it goes from n =4 to n = 1.arrow_forward
