Calculate the probability that the electron in a hydrogen atom would be found within 30 degrees of the xy-plane, irrespective of radius, for (a) I=0 ,m1=0; (b) role="math" localid="1660014331933" I=1,mI=1and (c) I=2,mI=2. (d) As angular momentum increases, what happens to the orbits whose z-components of angular momentum are the maximum allowed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) For I=0,mI=0Probability is 0.5 .

(b) For I=1,m1=1Probability is 0.688.

(c) For I=2,mI=2Probability is 0.793.

(d) As the angular momentum increases, the maximum z-component states are more nearly restricted to the xy plane.

Step by step solution

01

Required formula:

As you know that the probability of finding an electron in the given point can be found using the square of the orbital wave function - ||2at that point.

Hence, the required probability that the electron in a hydrogen atom would be found withing 30of the x-y plane, can be found using the following formula

P=/32/3(l,ml)22蟺蝉颈苍胃诲胃

Where, is the Orbital wave function and Angle from the x-y plane.

02

(a) Probability for I=0,mI=0:

Here, I is the azimuthal quantum number and mIis the magnetic quantum number.

The probability is define by,

P0,0=/32/31422蟺蝉颈苍胃诲胃=12-肠辞蝉胃/32/3=12-cos23+cos3

P0,0=12--0.5+0.5=12=0.5

03

(b) Probability for I=1,mI=±1 :

P1,1=/32/338sin22蟺蝉颈苍胃诲胃=34/32/31-cos2蝉颈苍胃诲胃=34-肠辞蝉胃+cos33/32/3=34-cos23+cos3233+cos3-cos333

P1,1=34--0.5+-0.533+0.5-0.533=340.5-0.04167+0.5-0.04167=0.688

04

(c) Probability for I=2,mI=±2:

P2,2=/32/31532sin222蟺蝉颈苍胃诲胃=1516/32/3sin4胃蝉颈苍胃诲胃=1516/32/31-cos22蝉颈苍胃诲胃=1516/32/31-2cos2+cos4蝉颈苍胃诲胃

P2,2=1516-cos-2cos3233+cos5235/32/3=202256=0.793

05

(d) Conclusion:

The trend from Step 2 to Step 4, i.e., from 0.5 to 0.793 shows that as the angular momentum increases, the maximum z-component states are more nearly restricted to the xy plane.
