Get started for free(a) If one subshell of an atom has 9 electrons in it, what is the minimum value of l ?
(b) What is the spectroscopic notation for this atom, if this subshell is part of the n = 3 shell?
If a hydrogen atom has its electron in the n = 4 state, how much energy in eV is needed to ionize it?
What is a hydrogen-like atom, and how are the energies and radii of its electron orbits related to those in hydrogen?.
Explain why patterns observed in the periodic table of the elements are evidence for the existence of atoms, and why Brownian motion is a more direct type of evidence for their existence.
Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest wavelength in the series.
