Suppose an atom is like hydrogen but it has two protons in the nucleus and, like hydrogen, has only one electron (see section 7.8). Suppose also that this atom is in the (n, l, m_l) = (3, 2, 0) state. Calculate the probability of finding the electron within a distance of 0.0529 nm.

Expert Solution

The radial part of the n = 3 wave function of the electron in the atom with Z protons is

where a = 0.0429 nm is the Bohr radius

The probaility of finding the electron between r = 0 and r = a is

Plugging in Z = 2 one obtains

The integration gives

Hence

The probability is

The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom treats electrons as particles that orbit the nucleus at a particular radius and with a particular speed. This model correctly predicts the energy levels of the hydrogen atom, but paints an inaccurate physical picture of the atom. Explain how the real hydrogen atom differs from the Bohr model.

A sodium atom (Z = 11) contains 11 protons in its nucleus. Strictly speaking, the Bohr model does not apply, because the neutral atom contains 11 electrons instead of a single electron. However, we can apply the model to the outermost electron as an approximation, provided that we use an effective value Zeffective rather than 11 for the number of protons in the nucleus. (a) The ionization energy for the outermost electron in a sodium atom is 5.1 eV. Use...
