Find the distance, in terms of , between the two peaks in the radial probability density of the state of hydrogen.
Hint: This problem requires a numerical solution.
In a multielectron atom, the loweststate for eachis significantly lower in energy than the hydrogen state having the same . But the highest state for each is very nearly equal in energy to the hydrogen state with the same . Explain.
Identify the element for each of these electron configurations. Then determine whether this configuration is the ground state or an excited state.
