2.37 Consider an electron in each of the following orbitals. On average, which electron would be closer to the nucleus in each pair? Explain.
2.39 Consider each of the following sublevel designations. Determine if each is a legitimate designation and if not, explain why. Legitimate?
Electron in the orbital | Electron closer to the nucleus | Explanation |
---|---|---|
1s or 3s | 1s | Since l is same and value of n is smaller in case of 1s. |
2p or 4p | 2p | Since l is same and value of n is smaller in case of 2p. |
3d or 4d | 3d | Since l is same and value of n is smaller in case of 3d. |
Subshell | Legitimate? | Explanation |
---|---|---|
5p |
Yes |
n=5,l=1 and l |
4s | Yes | n=4,l=0 and l |
2f |
No Corrections: 4f n=4, l=3 |
n=2, l=3, l>n which is not possible |
1p |
No Corrections: 2p n=2, l=1 |
n=1, l=1, l=n which is not possible! |
