Chapter 10: Q25E (page 467)

Formulate an argument explaining why the even wave functions in Fig 10.1 should be lower in energy than their odd partners.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The wave function that has more anti-nodes is at a higher energy.

Step by step solution

01

Functions

In the two wells, for each pair of the molecular states, the even function has one less anti-node then their odd partners. When n=1the odd function has two anti-nodes and the even function has one distorted anti-node.

02

Step 2:Relation between energy and wave number

As energy of the particle is proportional to the wave number of its wave function.

Hence, The odd wave function has higher energy and the even function has lower energy or longer wavelength.

Section 10.2 discusses - bonds and 蟽- bonds for p - states and 蟺-bonds for s-states but not 蟽- bonds for 蟺 - states. Why not?

Question: The interatomic potential energy in a diatomic molecule (Figure 10.16) has many features: a minimum energy, an equilibrium separation a curvature and so on. (a) Upon what features do rotational energy levels depend? (b) Upon what features do the vibration levels depend?

Of N2, O2 and F2, none has an electric dipole moment, but one does have a magnetic dipole moment, which one, and why?

(Refer to figure 10.10)

Question: In a diode laser electrons dropping from the conduction band across the gap, and into the valence band produce the photons that add to the coherent light. The ZnTe laser has a band gap of 2.25 eV. About what wavelength laser light would you expect it to produce?

Carbon(diamond) and silicon have the same covalent crystal structure, yet diamond is transparent while silicon is opaque to visible light. Argue that this should be the case based only on the difference in band gaps roughly 5 eV for diamond in eV is silicon.
