(b ) The linear momentum of the emitted photon is related to its energy by p = E/c. If we assume conservation of linear momentum, what is the recoil velocity of the atom? (c) Find the recoil kinetic energy of the atom in electron volts. By what percentage must the energy of the photon calculated in part (a ) be corrected to account for this recoil energy? (a ) hf = E2 E1 = 3E0/4 hf = 10.2 eV = 1.6321018 J (b ) hf /c = p rec; vrec = p rec/m = hf /mc vrec = 1.6321018/(1.671027 3108 ) m/s = 3.26 m/s (c) Erec = p rec2/2m = (hf )2/2mc2 Erec = (10.2) 2/(2938.3106 ) eV = 5.54108 eV Percent correction = 5.54106/10.2 = 5.44107% 15 Show that the speed of an electron in the n th Bohr orbit of hydrogen is given by vn = e2/2e0hn . _ _ _ Ln = nh = mvnrn = n 2h 2mvn/mke2; solving for vnwe obtain vn = ke2/nh . But k =1/4pe0, so vn = e2/2e0hn .

16 In this problem you will estimate the radius and the energy of the lowest stationary state of the hydrogen atom using the uncertainty principle. The total energy of the electron of momentum p and mass m a distance r from the proton in the hydrogen atom is given by E = p 2/2m ke 2/r, where k is the Coulomb constant. Assume that the minimum value of p 2 is p 2 (?p )2 = h 2/r2, where ?p is the uncertainty in p and we have taken ?r ~ r for the order of magnitude of the uncertainty in position; the energy is E = h 2/2mr2 ke2/r. Find the radius rm for which this energy is a minimum, and calculate the minimum value of E in electron volts. With E = h 2/2mr2 ke2/r, dE/dr = ke2/r2 - h 2/mr3. Set dE/dr = 0 and solve for r = rm; rm = h 2/ke2m. This is just the Bohr radius a 0. Consequently, the energy is the ground state energy of the hydrogen atom, namely ,13.6 eV. 17* In a reference frame with the origin at the center of mass of an electron and the nucleus of an atom, the

Chapter 37

electron and nucleus have equal and opposite momenta of magnitude p. (a ) Show that the total kinetic energy of the electron and nucleus can be written K = p 2/2mr, where mr = meM /(M + me) is called the reduced mass, me is the mass of the electron, and M is the mass of the nucleus. It can be shown that the motion of the nucleus can be accounted for by replacing the mass of the electron by the reduced mass. In general, the reduced mass for a two-body problem with masses m1 and m2 is given by
mr = m1 m2 m1+ m 2

(Eq. 37-47)

(b ) Use Equation 37-14 with m replaced by mr to calculate the Rydberg constant for hydrogen (M = mp) and for a very massive nucleus (M = ). (c) Find the percentage correction for the ground-state energy of the hydrogen atom due to the motion of the proton. (a ) Both the electron and nucleus have the same momentum, so K = Ke + Kn = p 2/2me + p 2/2M = (p 2/2)[(me + M /meM )]. Defining mr = meM /(me + M ), K = p 2/2mr. _ (b ) For H, RH = 1.096776107 m1 = Cmr, where C = k 2e4/4pch 3, and mr = mpme/(me + mp) = me/(1 + me/mp) = me/(1 + 5.447104). If instead of mp we have an infinite nuclear mass, then mr = me, and the Rydberg constant R is then greater than RH by the factor (1 + 5.447104), or R = 1.097373107 m1. (c) The energy correction is just 5.447104 or 0.0545%. That is, the correct energy is slightly less than that calculated neglecting the motion of the nucleus. 18 For the principal quantum number n = 4, how many different values can the orbital quantum number l have?

The sum of all integers from 0 to p is p (p + 1)/2, so the first term is 2[(n 1)n /2] = n 2 n . The second term is just equal to n . So Nm = n 2. Since N, the number of electron states is twice the number of m states, the number of electron states is N = 2n 2. For n = 3, N = 18.

(c ) 43 Why is the energy of the 3s state considerably lower than that of the 3p state for sodium, whereas in hydrogen these states have essentially the same energy? The s state, with l = 0, is a penetrating state in which the probability density near the nucleus is significant. Consequently, the 3s electron in sodium is in a region of low potential energy for a significant portion of the time. In the state l = 1, the probability density at the nucleus is zero, so the 2p electron of sodium is shielded from the nuclear charge by the 1s electrons. In hydrogen, the 3s and 2p electrons experience the same nuclear potential. 44 Discuss the evidence from the periodic table of the need for a fourth quantum number. How would the properties of He differ if there were only three quantum numbers, n , l , and m? In conformity with the exclusion principle, the total number of electrons that can be accommodated in states of quantum number n is n 2 (see Problem 36). The fact that closed shells correspond to 2n 2 electrons indicates that there is another quantum number that can have two possible values.

45* The properties of iron (Z = 26) and cobalt (Z = 27), which have adjacent atomic numbers, are similar, whereas the properties of neon (Z = 10) and sodium (Z = 11), which also have adjacent atomic numbers, are very different. Explain why. For iron and cobalt, the closed shell configuration is the same; the only difference is the number of 3d electrons. Neon is a closed shell configuration (n = 1, 2), whereas sodium has one extra electron outside a closed shell. The properties of neon are therefore similar to those of helium and other rare gas atoms, whereas those of sodium are similar to those of hydrogen and other atoms (lithium, potassium) with one electron outside a closed shell. 46 Separate the following six elementspotassium, calcium, titanium, chromium, manganese, and copperinto two groups of three each such that those in a group have similar properties. Titanium, manganese, and calcium all have an outer 4s 2 configuration in the ground state. Potassium, chromium, and copper all have an outer 4s configuration in the ground state. It is to be expected that atoms of the first group will have similar properties, and, likewise, that atoms of the second group will have similar properties. 47 What element has the electron configuration (a ) 1s 22s22p63s23p2 and (b ) 1s 22s22p63s23p64s2?

However, the ionization energy of sodium is 5.14 eV, not 1.51 eV. Use this fact and Equation 37-45 to calculate the effective nuclear charge Z seen by the outer electron in sodium. Assume that r = 9a 0 for the outer electron. Use Equ. 37-45, assuming r = 9a 0 Z = 9(5.14/13.6) = 3.40 2 2 [Note: If we use the Bohr model: En = (Z) E0/n ] [ Z = 9(5.14/13. 6) = 1.84 ] [The above result indicates that the assumption that r = 9a 0 is not justified.] 54 The optical spectra of atoms with two electrons in the same outer shell are similar, but they are quite different from the spectra of atoms with just one outer electron because of the interaction of the two electrons. Separate the following elements into two groups such that those in each group have similar spectra: lithium, beryllium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, chromium, nickel, cesium, barium. Lithium, sodium, potassium, chromium, and cesium belong to one group - one outer s electron. Beryllium, magnesium, calcium, nickel, and barium belong to a second group - two outer s electrons.

The Bohr theory is easier to apply and gives essentially correct results for the energies of the stationary states. However, it gives incorrect results as regards the angular momenta and the spatial distribution of the electron. The Schrdinger theory gives not only the correct energies of the stationary states but also provides information on the angular momenta and probability distribution of electrons. However, the Schrdinger theory is more difficult to use. 65* In Figure 37-17, there are small dips in the ionization-energy curve at Z = 31 (gallium) and Z = 49 (indium) that are not labeled. Explain these dips using the electron configurations of these atoms given in Table 37-1. Zinc (Z = 30) has a configuration of closed subshells, namely 3d104s2; its ionization energy is relatively large. Gallium has one more electron in the 4p state. This electron is less tightly bound; therefore the ionization energy of gallium is relatively small. Likewise for cadmium (Z = 48) with the outer closed subshell configuration of 4d105s2, and indium with one more electron in the 5p state. 66 What is the energy of the shortest wavelength photon emitted by the hydrogen atom? ?min = hc/?E; ?E = 13.6 eV 67 The wavelength of a spectral line of hydrogen is 97.254 nm.

72 To observe the characteristic K lines of the X-ray spectrum, One of the n = 1 electrons must be ejected from the atom. This is generally accomplished by bombarding the target material with electrons of sufficient energy to eject this tightly bound electron. What is the minimum energy required to observe the K lines of (a ) tungsten, (b ) molybdenum, and (c) copper? One 1s electron must be released from the atom. It is shielded from the nuclear charge Z by one other 1s electron. Thus, the effective charge is Z 1, and the ionization energy for that 1s electron is (Z 1)2E0 = Emin.
