Hydrogen atoms in the atmosphere of the sun can exist in different energy states. The difference between the lowest energy state (the ground state) and the second to lowest energy state (the first excited state) is about 2.5 eV. The temperature of the sun’s atmosphere is about 5800 K (so kBT = 0.5 eV). What will be the ratio of the number of atoms in the first excited state divided by the number of atoms in the ground state?

atoms can occupy only certain discrete energy levels. Consider a gas at a temperature of 2 500 K whose atoms can occupy only two energy levels separated by 1.50 eV, where 1 eV (electron volt) is an energy unit equal to 1.60 × 10-19 J. Determine the ratio of the number of atoms in the higher energy level to the number in the lower energy level.
In this problem, you will calculate the center of mass of two molecules. For each molecule, draw a picture. Clearly indicate the origin of your coordinate system, the locations of the atoms, and the location of the center of mass. Consult a periodic table to find the masses of the atoms. (a) Electron diffraction experiments reveal that the distance between the centers of the carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms in a carbon monoxide molecule is about 1.100 x 10-10 m. Where is the center of mass of a CO molecule? (b) In an ammonia molecule (NH3), the atoms are arranged in a pyramid.* The three hydrogen atoms (H) form an equilateral triangle at the base of a pyramid. The distance between the centers of the hydrogen atoms is 1.628 x 10-10 m; thus, the center of the triangle is 9.399 x 10-"m from each hydrogen atom. The nitrogen atom (N) sits at the apex of the pyramid. The distance between the center of the nitrogen atom and any hydrogen atom is 1.014 x 10-10 m. Where is the center of mass of…
