- What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?arrow_forwardWhich of the following sets of quantum numbers correctly represents a 4p orbital? (a) n = 4, = 0, m = 1 (b) n = 4, = 1, m = 0 (c) n = 4, = 2, m = 1 (d) n = 4, = 1, m =2arrow_forward6.96 When a helium atom absorbs light at 58.44 nm, an electron is promoted from the 1s orbital to a 2p orbital. Given that the ionization energy of (ground state) helium is 2372 kJ/ mol, find the longest wavelength of light that could eject an electron from the excited state helium atom.arrow_forward
- (a) How many subshells are present in the n = 4 shell? (b) How many orbitals are in the 3d subshell? (c) What is the maximum value of that is allowed in the shell with n = 3? (d) What are the values of n and for a 3p subshell? Give all allowed values of the m quantum number for this subshell.arrow_forwardA bright violet line occurs at 435.8 nm in the emission spectrum of mercury vapor. What amount of energy, in joules, must be released by an electron in a mercury atom to produce a photon of this light?arrow_forwardInvestigating Energy Levels Consider the hypothetical atom X that has one electron like the H atom but has different energy levels. The energies of an electron in an X atom are described by the equation E=RHn3 where RH is the same as for hydrogen (2.179 1018 J). Answer the following questions, without calculating energy values. a How would the ground-state energy levels of X and H compare? b Would the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of H be higher or lower than that of an electron in the n = 2 level of X? Explain your answer. c How do the spacings of the energy levels of X and H compare? d Which would involve the emission of a higher frequency of light, the transition of an electron in an H atom from the n = 5 to the n = 3 level or a similar transition in an X atom? e Which atom, X or H, would require more energy to completely remove its electron? f A photon corresponding to a particular frequency of blue light produces a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 5 level of a hydrogen atom. Could this photon produce the same transition (n = 12 to n = 5) in an atom of X? Explain.arrow_forward
- A nonmetallic element, R, burns brightly in air to give the oxide R4O10. If R is in Period 3, what is the ground-state valence-shell configuration of the atom?arrow_forwardAccording to a relationship developed by Niels Bohr, for an atom or ion that has a single electron, the total energy, En, of an electron in a stable orbit of quantum number n is En = [Z2/n2] (2.179 1018 J) where Z is the atomic number. Calculate the ionization energy for the electron in a ground-state He+ ion.arrow_forward
