Chapter 41: Answers to Stop to Think Questions and Odd-Numbered Exercises and Problems

Stop to Think Questions

  1. 1. n=3, l=1, or a 3p state.

  2. 2. You can see in Figure 41.7  that the ns state has n maxima.

  3. 3. No. ms=±12, so the z-component Sz cannot be zero.

  4. 4. b. The atom would have less energy if the 3s electron were in a 2p state.

  5. 5. c. Emission is a quantum jump to a lower-energy state. The 5p→4p transition is not allowed because Δl=0 violates the selection rule. The lowest-energy allowed transition is 5p→3d, with Ephoton=ΔEatom=3.0 eV.

  6. 6. b. Because rB=2rA, the ratio is e−2/e−1=e−1<12.
