(a)
Interpretation: The number of orbital present in one set g-orbital should be determined.
Concept introduction: The electrons that are present in an outermost orbital are known as valence electrons whereas those present in the orbitals with lower quantum numbers are termed as core electrons. Electrons are filled within orbitals by following three rules: Aufbau principle, Hund’s rule, and Pauli’s exclusion principle. Aufbau principle states, electrons are filled in the orbitals from lower to higher energy level as follows:
Hund’s rule states, initially each orbital is singly occupied and then pairing occurs and Pauli’s exclusion principle states, spin of two different electrons in one orbital is always different.
(b)
Interpretation: The angular nodes of g-orbital should be explained.

- Use the mathematical expression for the 2pz wave function of a one-electron atom (see Table 5.2) to show that the probability of finding an electron in that orbital anywhere in the x-y plane is 0. What are the nodal planes for a dxz orbital and for a dx2y2 orbital?arrow_forwardDefend and criticize Bohrs model. Why was it reasonable that such a model was proposed, and what evidence was there that it "works"? Why do we no longer "believe" in it?arrow_forwardIn 1885, Johann Balmer, a mathematician, derived the following relation for the wavelength of lines in the visible spectrum of hydrogen =364.5 n2( n2 4) where in nanometers and n is an integer that can be 3, 4, 5, . . . Show that this relation follows from the Bohr equation and the equation using the Rydberg constant. Note that in the Balmer series, the electron is returning to the n=2 level.arrow_forward
- Sketch a picture of the 90% boundary surface of an s orbital and the px orbital. Be sure the latter drawing shows why the p orbital is labeled px and not py, for example.arrow_forwardIn defining the sizes of orbitals, why must we use an arbitrary value, such as 90% of the probability of finding an electron in that region?arrow_forwardWhy was Schrodinger not able to describe exactly the pathway an electron takes as it moves through the space of an atom?arrow_forward
- How is the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom inconsistent with the uncertainty principle? In fact, it was this inconsistency, along with the theorys limited application to non-hydrogen-like systems, that limited Bohrs theory.arrow_forwardConsider a one-dimensional particle-in-a-box and a three-dimensional particle-in-a-box that have the same dimensions. a What is the ratio of the energies of a particle having the lowest possible quantum numbers in both boxes? b Does this ratio stay the same if the quantum numbers are not the lowest possible values?arrow_forward
