Introduction to Chemistry
- 6.11 Define the term photon.arrow_forwardThe energy needed to ionize an atom of element X when it is in its most stable state is 500kJmol1 . However, if an atom of X is in its lowest excited state, only 120kJmol1 is needed to ionize it. What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted when an atom of X undergoes a transition from the lowest excited state to the ground state?arrow_forwardAlthough we may draw the 4s orbital with the shape of a ball, there is some probability of finding the electron outside the ball we draw. Is this statement true or false? Comment on this statement.arrow_forward
- The energy of a photon of visible light emitted by an excited atom is the energy change that takes place within the atom itself.arrow_forwardDescribe briefly why the study of electromagnetic radiation bas been important to our understanding of the arrangement of electrons in atomsarrow_forwardAccording to Bohr, the electron in the hydrogen atom moved around the nucleus in circular paths called .arrow_forward
- 6.31 Why do we use a wave function to describe electrons?arrow_forwardDescribe the properties of an electron associated with each of the following four quantum numbers: n,l,ml, and ms.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If false, correct the statement. (a) An electron transition from n=3 to n=1 gives off energy. (b) Light emitted by an n=4 to n=2 transition will have a longer wavelength than that from an n=5 to n=2 transition. (c) A sublevel of l=3 has a capacity of ten electrons. (d) An atom of Group 13 has three unpaired electrons.arrow_forward
