a) How many distinct angles from the vertical axis can the orbital angular momentum vector L make for an electron with l = 7? b)Calculate the smallest possible angle the L can make with respect to the vertical axis. (Hint: The smallest angle occurs when ml takes the maximum allowed value. Sketch L in that case and compare the vertical component, which is related to ml, to the magnitude of L, which is related to l.)
You are working on determining the angle that separates two hybridized orbitals. In the process of determining the coefficients in front of the various atomic orbitals, you align the first one along the z-axis and the second in the x/z-plane (so o = 0). The second hybridized orbital was determined to be: W2 = R1s + R2p, sin 0 + R2p, cos 0 Determine the angle, 0, in degrees to one decimal place (XX.X) that separates these two orbitals. Assume that the angle will be between 0 and 90 degrees.
Consider a simple model of the helium atom in which two electrons, each with mass m, move around the nucleus (charge +2e) in the same circular orbit. Each electron has orbital angular momentum U (that is, the orbit is the smallest-radius Bohr orbit), and the two electrons are always on opposite sides of the nucleus. Ignore the effects of spin. What is the potential energy of the system (the nucleus and the two electrons)?
