Students have asked these similar questions
what energy is required to remove the electron from a hydrogen atom in the n= 11 state? Let the constant hcR= 13.6 eV
How many distinct (n, l, ml) states of the hydrogen atom with n = 3 are there? What are their energies?
a. Which states of a hydrogen atom can be excited by a collision with an electron with kinetic energy K = 12.5 eV? Explain. b. After the collision the atom is not in its ground state. What happens to the electron? (i) It bounces off with K 7 12.5 eV, (ii) It bounces off with K = 12.5 eV, (iii) It bounces off with K 6 12.5 eV, (iv) It is absorbed by the atom. Explain your choice. c. After the collision, the atom emits a photon. List all the possible nS m transitions that might occur as a result of this collision.
