Chapter 9, Problem 9.22E

Betelgeuse (pronounced “beetle juice”) is a reddish looking star in the constellation Orion, while Rigel (“rye gel”) is a bluish star in the same part of the sky. Use Figure 9.12 to argue which star is hotter.

4 Which electron is, on average, closer to the nucleus: an electron in a 2s orbital or an electron in a 3s orbital? Explain via diagram. 1
Astronomers observe spectra of planetary nebulae to learn about the stars that created them, and to understand how planetary nebulae contribute to the chemical enrichment of the Milky Way Galaxy over time. In order to determine the chemical abundances in nebulae, astronomers need to know the temperature of the gas and its density. Sulfur emission lines are useful for determining density in planetary nebulae. Certain electron transitions involve energy levels that are said to be metastable; the resulting emission lines are called "forbidden" lines, which really only means that they are less likely to occur than emission lines from the ordinary kind of transitions. lons and electrons in a planetary nebula are always moving and bumping into each other. The energy exchanged in these collisions isn't enough to strip off electrons, but it is enough to kick an electron to a higher energy level within the ground state. In fact, the only way that these higher levels can be populated is by…
