Questions and Answers

Which of the colors of visible light have enough energy to eject electrons from a metal with a threshold frequency of $5.45 imes 10^{14}$ Hz?

  • Blue (correct)
  • Orange
  • Red
  • Green (correct)
  • Indigo (correct)
  • Yellow
  • Violet (correct)

Classify these electron transitions by whether they result in the absorption or emission of light:

n=3 to n=2 = Emission n=3 to n=5 = Absorption n=1 to n=3 = Absorption n=2 to n=1 = Emission

Which transition is associated with the greatest energy change (ignoring sign)?

n=1 to n=3

Study Notes

Threshold Frequency and Visible Light

  • A metal foil has a threshold frequency of 5.45 × 10¹⁴ Hz.
  • Colors of visible light that can eject electrons: green, blue, indigo, violet.

Electron Transitions in Hydrogen-like Atoms

  • Transitions resulting in absorption: n=1 to n=3, n=3 to n=5.
  • Transitions resulting in emission: n=3 to n=2, n=2 to n=1.

Energy Changes in Electron Transitions

  • Greatest energy change occurs in the transition from n=1 to n=3.
  • As energy levels increase, the energy difference between them decreases.

Electron Distance from Nucleus

  • An electron in the n=3 state is farther from the nucleus compared to its ground state.

Ionization Energy of Hydrogen Atom

  • It requires less energy to ionize a hydrogen atom in the n=3 state than in the ground state.

Energy of Electrons in Hydrogen Atom

  • Energy of an electron in the ground state (n=1): -2.18 x 10⁻¹⁸ J.
  • Energy of an electron in the excited state (n=3): -2.42 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.

Determining Energy in Many-Electron Atoms

  • To determine the energy of an electron in a many-electron atom, the values of principal quantum number (n) and azimuthal quantum number (l) are necessary.

Orbital Size and Orientation

  • The size of an orbital is primarily determined by the principal quantum number (n).
  • The orientation of an orbital is specified by the magnetic quantum number (m sub l).

Orbital Shape Identification

  • The shape of an orbital is determined by the azimuthal quantum number (l).

Quantum Numbers for Subshells

  • For subshell 6s: n=6, l=0.
  • For subshell 6p: n=6, l=1.
  • For subshell 6d: n=6, l=2.
  • Each subshell corresponds to different values of l:
    • s (l=0)
    • p (l=1)
    • d (l=2)
    • f (l=3)
    • g (l=4)
    • h (l=5)
