Human color vision is "produced" by the nervous system based on how three different cone receptors interact with photons of light in the eye. These three different types of cones interact with photons of different frequency light, as indicated in the following chart: $$ \begin{array}{|lc|} \hline \text { Cone Type } & \begin{array}{c} \text { Range of Light } \\ \text { Frequency Detected } \end{array} \\ \hline \mathrm{S} & 6.00-7.49 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \\ \mathrm{M} & 4.76-6.62 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \\ \mathrm{~L} & 4.28-6.00 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \\ \hline \end{array} $$ What wavelength ranges (and corresponding colors) do the three types of cones detect?
From the information below, identify element \(\mathrm{X}\). a. The wavelength of the radio waves sent by an FM station broadcasting at \(97.1 \mathrm{MHz}\) is \(30.0\) million \(\left(3.00 \times 10^{7}\right)\) times greater than the wavelength corresponding to the energy difference between a particular excited state of the hydrogen atom and the ground state. b. Let \(V\) represent the principal quantum number for the valence shell of element \(X\). If an electron in the hydrogen atom falls from shell \(V\) to the inner shell corresponding to the excited state mentioned above in part a, the wavelength of light emitted is the same as the wavelength of an electron moving at a speed of \(570 . \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) c. The number of unpaired electrons for element \(\mathrm{X}\) in the ground state is the same as the maximum number of electrons in an atom that can have the quantum number designations \(n=2\), \(m_{\ell}=-1\), and \(m_{s}=-\frac{1}{2}\) d. Let \(A\) equal the charge of the stable ion that would form when the undiscovered element 120 forms ionic compounds. This value of \(A\) also represents the angular momentum quantum number for the subshell containing the unpaired electron(s) for element \(\mathrm{X}\).
The successive ionization energies for an unknown element are \(I_{1}=896 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\) \(I_{2}=1752 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\) \(I_{3}=14,807 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\) \(I_{4}=17,948 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\) To which family in the periodic table does the unknown element most likely belong?
The wave function for the \(2 p_{z}\) orbital in the hydrogen atom is $$ \psi_{2 p_{z}}=\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2 \pi}}\left(\frac{Z}{a_{0}}\right)^{3 / 2} \sigma \mathrm{e}^{-\sigma / 2} \cos \theta $$ where \(a_{0}\) is the value for the radius of the first Bohr orbit in meters \(\left(5.29 \times 10^{-11}\right), \sigma\) is \(Z\left(r / a_{0}\right), r\) is the value for the distance from the nucleus in meters, and \(\theta\) is an angle. Calculate the value of \(\psi_{2 p_{p}}^{2}\) at \(r=a_{0}\) for \(\theta=0^{\circ}\left(z\right.\) axis) and for \(\theta=90^{\circ}(x y\) plane).
Assume that we are in another universe with different physical laws. Electrons in this universe are described by four quantum numbers with meanings similar to those we use. We will call these quantum numbers \(p, q, r\), and \(s .\) The rules for these quantum numbers are as follows: \(p=1,2,3,4,5, \ldots\) \(q\) takes on positive odd integers and \(q \leq p\) \(r\) takes on all even integer values from \(-q\) to \(+q\). (Zero is considered an even number.) \(s=+\frac{1}{2}\) or \(-\frac{1}{2}\) a. Sketch what the first four periods of the periodic table will look like in this universe. b. Wh?t are the atomic numbers of the first four elements you would expect to be least reactive? c. Give an example, using elements in the forst four rows, of ionic compounds with the formulas \(\mathrm{XY}, \mathrm{XY}_{2}, \mathrm{X}_{2} \mathrm{Y}, \mathrm{XY}_{3}\), and \(\mathrm{X}_{2} \mathrm{Y}_{3}\) d. How many electrons can have \(p=4, q=3 ?\) e. How many electrons can have \(p=3, q=0, r=0 ?\) f. How many electrons can have \(p=6\) ?
