Get started for freeWhat must be the velocity of electrons if their associated wavelength is to equal the radius of the first Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom?
What electron transition in a hydrogen atom, starting from the orbit \(n=7,\) will produce light of wavelength \(410 \mathrm{nm} ?\)
A molecule of chlorine can be dissociated into atoms by absorbing a photon of sufficiently high energy. Any excess energy is translated into kinetic energy as the atoms recoil from one another. If a molecule of chlorine at rest absorbs a photon of 300 nm wavelength, what will be the velocity of the two recoiling atoms? Assume that the excess energy is equally divided between the two atoms. The bond energy of \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) is \(242.6 \mathrm{kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\)
Use orbital diagrams to show the distribution of electrons among the orbitals in (a) the \(4 p\) subshell of Br; (b) the \(3 d\) subshell of \(\mathrm{Co}^{2+},\) given that the two electrons lost are \(4 s ;\) (c) the \(5 d\) subshell of \(\mathrm{Pb}\).
An atom in which just one of the outer-shell electrons is excited to a very high quantum level \(n\) is called a "high Rydberg" atom. In some ways, all these atoms resemble a Bohr hydrogen atom with its electron in a high-numbered orbit. Explain why you might expect this to be the case.
