Question
Chapter 28, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Whether the statement ‘in the hydrogen atom, the energy is specified by the principal quantum number’ is true or false.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1RQ
True.
Explanation of Solution
The quantum number that indirectly describes the size of electron orbital is defined as the principal quantum number. It is denoted by n, which is an integer value (n=1,2,3,...........), but it can never be zero.
The energy of electron is mostly affected by the principal quantum number. The energy level of electron is completely determined by the principal quantum number.
Conclusion:
Thus, the statement ‘in the hydrogen atom, the energy is specified by the principal quantum number’ is true.

- Modified True/False - indicate whether the sentence or statement is true or false. If the statement is false, correct the statement to make it true. 12. An object in uniform circular motion has a constant velocity while experiencing centripetal acceleration. 13. An object travelling in uniform circular motion experiences an outward centrifugal force that tends to pull the object out of the circular path. 14. An object with less inertia can resist changes in motion more than an object with more inertia. 15. For an object sliding on a horizontal surface with a horizontal applied force, the frictional force will always increase as the applied force increases.arrow_forwardPls help asaparrow_forwardAnswer the given question showing step by step by and all necessary working out.arrow_forward
