Estimate kBT at room temperature, and convert this energy into electronvolts (eV). Using this result, answer the following: (a) Would you expect hydrogen atoms to be ionized at room temperature? (The binding energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV.) (b) Would you expect the rotational energy levels of diatomic molecules to be excited at room temperature? (It costs about 10−4 eV to promote such a system to an excited rotational energy level.)

1.7 A crystal has a basis of one atom per lattice point and a set of primitive translation vectors (in A): c = 1.5(i + j+ k), a = 3i, where i, j and k are unit vectors in the x, y and z directions of a Cartesian coordinate system. What is the Bravais lattice type of this crystal, and what are the Miller indices of the set of planes most densely populated with atoms? Calculate the volumes of the primitive unit cell and the conventional unit cell. b= 3j.

In this and following questions, we develop a model for spontaneous emission of a photon by a diatomic molecule AB (a model molecule), which rotates and vibrates. In intermediate calculations, atomic units (a.u.) will be used: unit of mass = the mass of electron, unit of charge is the proton charge e, (e is a positive constant so that the charge of electron is -e). The initial state of the molecule is an excited rotational (1=1) and excited vibrational state (v=1). We consider a molecule with the reduced mass µ = 10,000 a.u. (it is similar to the mass of CO). After emitting a photon, the molecule will go to the 1=0, v=0 state. The first question is about the model potential of the molecule. It is represented by a potential of the form: V(r) = C6 p12 C12 p6 " where r is the distance between A and B in the molecule, C6 and C12 are positive constants (C6 =2 and C₁2-1). This potential has a well meaning that the molecule is bound. The first thing to do is find vibrational states of the…

A K* and a CI- ion are separated by 0.52 nm. Find the Coulomb component of the binding energy at that distance. Give your answer in electron-volts. (Please include the appropriate sign.) A positive binding energy would mean the ions are unbound and a negative binding energy means they are bound. Note: For this homework problem, round your answer to 2 decimal places.
