Question

Transcribed Image Text:### The Bohr Equation and Rydberg Constant
The Bohr equation applies to any 1-electron atom or ion, though the Rydberg constant changes depending on nuclear charge, reduced mass, and other factors.
For an He⁺ ion, the Rydberg constant is \( R_{4He} = 2.19176 \times 10^{-18} \, \text{J} \). If a He⁺ ion with an electron in the \( n = 4 \) level **absorbs** a photon of wavelength \( 2153 \, \text{nm} \), in what energy level does the electron end?
**Options:**
- \( \bigcirc \ 6 \)
- \( \bigcirc \ 2 \)
- \( \bigcirc \ 3 \)
- \( \bigcirc \ 7 \)
- \( \bigcirc \ 1 \)

- It is easy to understand how two electrons (one with spin up, one with spin down) can fill the 1s shell for a helium atom. How is it possible that eight more electrons can fit into the 2s2 p level to complete the 1s2s22p6 shell for a neon atom?arrow_forwardQuantum numbers arise naturally from the mathematics used to describe the possible states of an electron in an atom. The four quantum numbers, the principal quantum number (n), the angular momentum quantum number (e), the magnetic quantum number (m,), and the spin quantum number (m,) have strict rules which govern the possible values. Identify all allowable combinations of quantum numbers for an electron. n = 2, l = 1, mę = -1, mş = 1 n = 3, l = 1, mę = 1, mş = - Un = 2, l = 2, mẹ = 0, ms = - n = 5, l = 3, mẹ = -3, ms = - n = 4, l = 2, mẹ = 3, m, = + %3D O n = 3, l = -1, mẹ = 1, m, = -arrow_forwardWhat is the wavelength in nm of a photon emitted from an H atom if an electron transfers from n=6 to n=3 RH = Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10 -2 nm-1arrow_forward
