Question

In the Bohr model for the hydrogen atom, in which orbit does an electron have higher overall energy: n = 1 or n = 5? Which of the following electron transitions in a hydrogen atom will emit a photon? Which of the following electron transitions in a hydrogen atom will absorb a photon? (How do you know?) Which of the electron transitions below will result in emission of light with the longest wavelength? n = 1 to n = 3 n = 4 to n = 3 n = 3 to n = 2 n = 3 to n = 1 n = 2 to n = 3 How many orbitals have n = 3 and m_t = -1? Which is not a permissible set of quantum numbers? Identify the subshell (if the quantum numbers identify a possible state). N = 2, t = 0, m_t = 0 n = 3, t = 2, m_t = 2 n = 2, t = 1, m_t = -1 n = 3, t = 3, m_t = 0 n = 4, t = 3, m_t = -3 An orbital has a code at the nucleus and two lobes. What orbitals can match that description? What is the difference between the 3d(x^2) and the 3d(x^2 - y^2) orbitals? Which quantum numbers in the orbital designation are different? Which will be the time? What does this indicate about the orbitals?

Explanation / Answer

Soln.8

Using the formula:

E= -13.6/n2

For n=1, E= -13.6ev

For n=5, E= -0.544ev

Therefore mathematically, for n=5 the orbit has higher energy.
