(a)
Interpretation:
The agreement of the nodes in
Concept introduction:
Orbital is a three-dimensional region where the probability of finding of an electron is high. The principal quantum number describes the size of the orbital, azimuthal quantum number describes the shape of the orbital and magnetic quantum number describes the direction of an orbital.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of spherical nodes in
Concept introduction:

- What are quantum numbers? What information do we get from the quantum numbers n, l, and ml? We define a spin quantum number (ms), but do we know that an electron literally spins?arrow_forwardPalladium, with an electron configuration of [Kr] 4d10, is an exception to the aufbau principle. Write the electron configuration of the 2+ cation of palladium. Does the fact that palladium is an exception influence the electron configuration of Pd2+?arrow_forwardWhat is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?arrow_forward
- A nonmetallic element, R, burns brightly in air to give the oxide R4O10. If R is in Period 3, what is the ground-state valence-shell configuration of the atom?arrow_forward(a) Use the radial wave function for the 3p orbital of a hydrogen atom (see Table 5.2) to calculate the value of r for which a node exists. (b) Find the values of r for which nodes exist for the 3s wave function of the hydrogen atom.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions, assuming that ms, could have three values rather than two and that the rules for n, l, and ml are the normal ones. a. How many electrons would an orbital be able to hold? b. How many elements would the first and second periods in the periodic table contain? c. How many elements would be contained in the first transition metal series? d. How many electrons would the set of 4f orbitals be able to bold?arrow_forward
