Interpretation:
Hund’s rule has to be defined. Also, two unpaired electrons present in the carbon and oxygen atom has to be explained through this rule.
Concept Introduction:
Erwin Schrödinger gave a model to describe the behavior of an electron in atoms through a wave function. The wave function is defined as a mathematical function for an electron wave that gives the amplitude of the wave at any point in space. It is represented by a Greek letter

- Why was Bohr's theory for the hydrogen atom initially accepted, and why was it ultimately discarded?arrow_forward• list the number of orbitals of each type (1s, 3p, etc) in an atom.arrow_forwardHow many unpaired electrons are there in an atom of (a) phosphorus? (b) potassium? (c) plutonium (Pu)?arrow_forward
- Explain electron from a quantum mechanical perspective, including a discussion of atomic radii, probabilities, and orbitals.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between (a) the Bohr model of the atom and the quantum mechanical model. (b) wavelength and frequency. (c) the geometries of the three different p orbitals.arrow_forwardDefend and criticize Bohrs model. Why was it reasonable that such a model was proposed, and what evidence was there that it "works"? Why do we no longer "believe" in it?arrow_forward
- Why was Schrodinger not able to describe exactly the pathway an electron takes as it moves through the space of an atom?arrow_forwardLight of very long wavelength strikes a photosensitive metallic surface and no electrons are ejected. Explain why increasing the intensity of this light on the metal still will not cause the photoelectric effect.arrow_forwardnow have evidence that electron energy levels in atoms are quantized. What if energy levels in atoms were not quantized? What are some differences we would notice?arrow_forward
