Chapter 30: Q25CQ (page 1111)

For a given value of n, what are the allowed values of l ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The allowed values of l are:

\(l = 0,\;1,\;2, \ldots ,\;n - 1\)

Step by step solution

01

Definition of quantum numbers

The position and the level of energy in the atom can be described by a particular number set that is unique to that atom. The particular number set is called quantum number set. This set contains the number that are called principal, azimuthal, magnetic, and spin.

02

Explanation for the question

For a given n, the allowed values of l are integers ranging from zero to n - 1 in one-step increments:

\(l = 0,\;1,\;2, \ldots ,\;n - 1\)

For example, if n = 3, l can be either 0 or 2.

If atoms exist, why can’t we see them with visible light?

The coating on the inside of fluorescent light tubes absorbs ultraviolet light and subsequently emits visible light. An inventor claims that he is able to do the reverse process. Is the inventor’s claim possible?

Prove that the velocity of charged particles moving along a straight path through perpendicular electric and magnetic fields is\[v = \frac{E}{B}\]. Thus crossed electric and magnetic fields can be used as a velocity selector independent of the charge and mass of the particle involved.

What is the smallest-wavelength line in the Balmer series? Is it in the visible part of the spectrum?

A beryllium ion with a single electron (denoted ) is in Be3+ an excited state with radius the same as that of the ground state of hydrogen.
