Draw an energy-level diagram, similar to Figure 38.21, for the He+ion. On your diagram:

a. Show the first five energy levels. Label each with the values of n andEn

b. Show the ionization limit.

c. Show all possible emission transitions from the n = 4 energy level.

d. Calculate the wavelengths (in nm) for each of the transitions in part c and show them alongside the appropriate arrow.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The set distances between electrons and the nucleus of an atom are known as energy levels.

(b) The ionisation limit is represented byn=∞

(c) On the diagram, all conceivable emission transitions from the n=4 energy level are depicted.

(d) The wavelengths areλ43=477nm;λ42=122nm;λ41=24nmλ43=477nm;λ42=122nm;λ41=24nm

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Consider the values are given in n andEn.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Creating Energy level diagram and calculations

We can begin by looking at expression energy levels:

En=−Z213.6eVn2Z=2forHe+En=−2213.6eVn2(substituteZ=2)En=−54.4eVn2

We get the following energies by substituting n from 1 to 5: -54.4 eV,-13.6 eV,-6.0 eV,-3.4 eV,-2.2 eV are the values shown in the diagram.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

From alkali metals to noble gases, the ionisation energy gradually increases. Due to the increasing distance of the valence electron shell from the nucleus, the maximum ionisation energy falls from the first to the final row in a particular column. For items with a value greater than 104, predicted values are utilised.

04

Part (b) Step 2: 

The ionisation limit is represented by n=∞

05

Part (c) Step 1: 

Consider the emission transitions energy level is n = 4

06

Part (c) Step 2: Representing Energy level n=∞

On the diagram, all conceivable emission transitions from the n=4 energy level are illustrated, and they include:4→3,4→2,4→1

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given information

Planck's equation connects the energy change associated with a transition to the electromagnetic wave's frequency isλnm=hcEn−Em

08

Part (d) Step 2: Calculations

The following expression can now be used:

λnm=hcEn−Emλ43=hcE4−E3(emission4→3)λ43=6.63⋅10−34⋅3⋅108−3.4⋅1.6⋅10−19−−6.0⋅1.6⋅10−19(substitute)λ43=477nmλ42=hcE4−E2(emission4→2)λ42=6.63⋅10−34⋅3⋅108−3.4⋅1.6⋅10−19−−13.6⋅1.6⋅10−19(substitute)λ42=122nmλ41=hcE4−E1(emission4→1)λ41=6.63⋅10−34⋅3⋅108−3.4⋅1.6⋅10−19−−54.4⋅1.6⋅10−19(substitute)λ41=24nm

Most popular questions from this chapter

II Ultraviolet light with a wavelength of} 70.0nm shines on a gas of hydrogen atoms in their ground states. Some of the atoms are ionized by the light. What is the kinetic energy of the electrons that are freed in this process?

Which metals in Table 38.1 exhibit the photoelectric effect for (a) light withλ=400nm and (b) light with λ=250nm?

The muon is a subatomic particle with the same charge as an electron but with a mass that is 207times greater: me=207mePhysicists think of muons as "heavy electrons," However, the muon is not a stable particle; it decays with a half-life of 1.5μsinto an electron plus two neutrinos. Muons from cosmic rays are sometimes "captured" by the nuclei of the atoms in a solid. A captured muon orbits this nucleus, like an electron, until it decays. Because the muon is often captured into an excited orbit ((n>1), its presence can be detected by observing the photons emitted in transitions such as 2→1and 3→1.

Consider a muon captured by a carbon nucleus (Z=6). Because of its long mass, the muon orbits well inside the electron cloud and is not affected by the electrons. Thus, the muon "sees" the full nuclear charge 2and acts like the electron in a hydrogen like ion.

a. What is the orbital radius and speed of a muon in the n=1ground state? Note that the mass of a muon differs from the mass of an electron.

b. What is the wavelength of the 2→1muon transition?

c. Is the photon emitted in the 2→1transition infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or xray?

d. How many orbits will the muon complete during 1.5μs? Is this a sufficiently large number that the Bohr model "makes sense, " even though the muon is not stable?

How would the graph of Figure 38.2 look if classical physics provided the correct description of the photoelectric effect? Draw the graph and explain your reasoning. Assume that the light intensity remains constant as its frequency and wavelength are varied.

If an electron is in a stationary state of an atom, is the electron at rest? If not, what does the term mean?
