What is the average radius of the orbit of an electron in the n=2 energy level of an oxygen atom (Z=8)? Express your answer in pico-meters.
An electron is in the nth Bohr orbit of the hydrogen atom. (a) Show that the period of the electron is T = n3t0 and determine the numerical value of t0. (b) On average, an electron remains in the n = 2 orbit for approximately 10 ms before it jumps down to the n = 1 (ground-state) orbit. How many revolutions does the electron make in the excited state? (c) Define the period of one revolution as an electron year, analogous to an Earth year being the period of the Earth’s motion around the Sun. Explain whether we should think of the electron in the n = 2 orbit as “living for a long time.”
The average value (or expected value) of r^k, where r is the distance of an electron in the state with principal quantum number n and orbital quantum number leo proton in the hydrogen atom is given by the integral below, where Pnl(r) is a radial probability density of the state with quantum number n, lek is an arbitrary power. For an electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom. a) calculate <r>nl in terms of the Bohr radius aB b) calculate <l/r>nl in terms of aB c) calculate <U(r)>nl, where U(r) = -e^2/(4piE0r). Respond in eV units. d) Considering also that the electron is in the ground state, estimate the expected value for two kinetic energy <K> and its mean quadratic velocity v. e) Is it justifiable to disregard relativistic corrections for this system? Justify.
