1. How many lvalues are associated with n = 3 ? (b) How manymlvalues are associated with l =1 ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. There are 3 l values associated with n = 3.
  2. There are 3 mlvalues associated with l =1 .

Step by step solution

01

The given data:

The given quantum numbers are:

  1. The principal quantum number, n = 3
  2. The orbital quantum number, l = 1
02

Understanding the concept of the electronic configuration:

For every given value of principal quantum number , there exist values of orbital quantum number l, ranging from 0 to (n -1) . Similarly, for every given value of orbital quantum number l , there exists -l to +l values for each magnetic quantum number, ml.

03

(a) Calculation of l  values for n = 3 :

For n = 3 the orbital quantum number is,

l = 0,1,2

Thus, in n = 3 , number of subshells l = 3 .

Using the concept, there are 3 l values ranging from 0 to 2 associated with n = 3.

Hence, there are 3 values.

04

b) Calculation of  m values for l = 1  

For l = 3 the magnetic quantum number is,

ml=-1,0,1 for l = 0 ; total ml value is 3 .

Using the concept, there are 3 values of ml ranging from -1 to +1 associated with l = 1

Hence, there are 3ml values.

Excited sodium atoms emit two closely spaced spectrum lines called the sodium doublet(Fig. 40-27) with wavelengths 588.995 nm and 589.592 nm. (a) What is the difference in energy between the two upper energy levels (n = 3, I = 1)? (b) This energy difference occurs because the electron’s spin magnetic moment can be oriented either parallel or anti-parallel to the internal magnetic field associated with the electron’s orbital motion. Use your result in (a) to find the magnitude of this internal magnetic field.

X-rays are produced in an x-ray tube by electrons accelerated through an electric potential difference of 50 kV. LetK0 be the kinetic energy of an electron at the end of the acceleration. The electron collides with a target nucleus (assume the nucleus remains stationary) and then has kinetic energy K1=0.500K0. (a) What wavelength is associated with the photon that is emitted? The electron collides with another target nucleus (assume it, too, remains stationary) and then has kinetic energy K2=0.500K1. (b) What wavelength is associated with the photon that is emitted?
