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!

Plot the total, marginal, and average products and explain in detail the relationship between each pair of curves. Explain why marginal product first rises, then declines, and ultimately becomes negative. What bearing does the law of diminishing returns have on short-run costs? Be specific. “When marginal product is rising, marginal cost is failing. And when marginal product is diminishing. Marginal cost is rising.” Illustrate and explain graphically.

It takes on average 333 eV to liberate an electron-hole pair in a NaI detector (100 times more that Ge), therefore 1 keV of photon energy produces 3 photoelectrons in NaI. It takes, on average, 33.7 eV to liberate an ion pair in air. Considering only the counting statistics aspect of the difference, how will the FWHM for an ion chamber compare with that for a NaI detector? How will the FWHM for a Ge detector compare with that for...
