Chapter 8, Problem 8.1QP

Describe the experiment of Stern and Gerlach. How are the results for the hydrogen atom explained?

Expert Solution & Answer

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The experiment of Stern and Gerlach and result of the hydrogen atom has to be explained.

Explanation of Solution

Stern-Gerlach experiment is based on a beam of silver atoms that is directed into Field of a specially designed magnet.

The magnetic field is used to split the beam of atom.  One magnetic pole faces is bent towards one half beam of atom and another half towards the second magnetic pole face.

The effect of this experiments the atom acts as magnets by a positive or a negative component that means the spin quantum number is positive or negative.  The above similar process can be done by Hydrogen atoms.

Conclusion

The experiment of Stern and Gerlach and result of the hydrogen atom was explained.

(6 pts - 2 pts each part) Although we focused our discussion on hydrogen light emission, all elements have distinctive emission spectra. Sodium (Na) is famous for its spectrum being dominated by two yellow emission lines at 589.0 and 589.6 nm, respectively. These lines result from electrons relaxing to the 3s subshell. a. What is the photon energy (in J) for one of these emission lines? Show your work. b. To what electronic transition in hydrogen is this photon energy closest to? Justify your answer-you shouldn't need to do numerical calculations. c. Consider the 3s subshell energy for Na - use 0 eV as the reference point for n=∞. What is the energy of the subshell that the electron relaxes from? Choose the same emission line that you did for part (a) and show your work.
None
(9 Pts) In one of the two Rare Earth element rows of the periodic table, identify an exception to the general ionization energy (IE) trend. For the two elements involved, answer the following questions. Be sure to cite sources for all physical data that you use. a. (2 pts) Identify the two elements and write their electronic configurations. b. (2 pts) Based on their configurations, propose a reason for the IE trend exception. c. (5 pts) Calculate effective nuclear charges for the last electron in each element and the Allred-Rochow electronegativity values for the two elements. Can any of these values explain the IE trend exception? Explain how (not) - include a description of how IE relates to electronegativity.
