On which quantum numbers does the energy of an electron depend in (a) a hydrogen atom and

(b) a vanadium atom?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The quantum number that the energy of an electron depends in a hydrogen atom is the principal quantum number n.
  2. The quantum number that the energy of an electron depends in a vanadium atom is the principal quantum number n andl .

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Atoms are Hydrogen ( Z = 1 ) and Vanadium ( Z = 23 ) .

02

Understanding the concept of energy

Using the energy of an electron in the nth Bohr's orbit of an atom, we can calculate the energy of an electron of the required atom that are hydrogen-like species using their atomic number and the principal quantum number of the subshell where the electron is present. But for transition metals that are not hydrogen-like species, the energy of the electron also depends on the azimuthal number irrespective of the dependence of energy on the principal quantum number.

Formula:

The energy of an electron in the nth Bohr's orbit or shell of the atom,

E=-13.6Z2n2 …â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦.(¾±)

03

a) Calculation of the energy in the hydrogen atom

According to the concept and equation (i), we can say that the energy of hydrogen or any other hydrogen-like species depends on the principal quantum number n.

Hence, it depends on the principal quantum number n.

04

b) Calculation of energy in vanadium atom

Now, as Vanadium is not hydrogen-like species and is a transition metal, the energy of this atom due to transition depends on both the principal n and azimuthally quantum number l that is, the energy dependence is on the value n+l.

Hence, the energy of this atom depends onn and l .

When electrons bombard a molybdenum target, they produce both continuous and characteristic x-rays as shown in Fig. 40-13. In that figure the kinetic energy of the incident electrons is 35.0 keV. If the accelerating potential is increased to 50.0 keV, (a) what is the value of λmin, and (b) do the wavelengths of the role="math" localid="1661497027757" kαand kβlines increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Which (if any) of the following are essential for laser action to occur between two energy levels of an atom?

(a) There are more atoms in the upper level than in the lower.

(b) The upper level is metastable.

(c) The lower level is metastable.

(d) The lower level is the ground state of the atom.

(e) The lasing medium is a gas.

A molybdenum (Z = 42 ) target is bombarded with 35.0keV electrons and the x-ray spectrum of Fig. 40-13 results. The lines KβandKαwavelengths are 63.0 and 71.0pm, respectively. What photon energy corresponds to the (a) Kβand(b) Kαradiation? The two radiations are to be filtered through one of the substances in the following table such that the substance absorbs the Kβ line more strongly than theKα line. A substance will absorb radiation x1 more strongly than it absorbs radiationx2 if a photon of x1 has enough energy to eject an electron Keiectron from an atom of the substance but a photon of does not. The table gives the ionization energy of the Kelectron in molybdenum and four other substances. Which substance in the table will serve (c) best and (d) second best as the filter?
