    Study Notes

    Orbital Energy Levels

    • Order of increasing energy for orbitals:
      • (a) 1s < 2s < 2p < 3s
      • (b) 3s < 3p < 4s < 4d
      • (c) 5p < 4d < 5d < 4f < 6s
      • (d) 5f < 6d < 7s < 7p

    Energy Comparisons

    • Lowest energy orbital among 4d, 4f, 5s, 5p is 4f.
    • Highest energy orbital among 5p, 5d, 5f, 6s, 6p is 5f.

    Deflection in Electric Field

    • Neutron does not show deflection in an electric field, unlike protons, cathode rays, and electrons.

    Atomic Mass and Atomic Number

    • An atom with mass number 13 and 7 neutrons has an atomic number of 6 (number of protons).

    Wavelength and Energy of Radiation

    • Arrange wavelengths in increasing energy:
      • λ(A) = 300 nm < λ(B) = 300 µm < λ(D) = 30 Å < λ(C) = 3 nm.

    Electronic Configuration of Copper

    • Copper has a valence shell configuration of 3d10 4s1, explained by stability due to complete d subshell.

    Balmer Series Transition

    • The Balmer series corresponds to transitions from n1 = 2 to n2 = 3, 4, ...
    • Wavenumber for transition to n=4 can be calculated using Rydberg's constant: RH = 109677 cm–1.

    De Broglie Wavelength of a Cricket Ball

    • Calculate the wavelength of a 100 g cricket ball thrown at 100 km/h.
    • Due to its large mass, wave nature is negligible.

    Experimental Evidence for Quantized Energies

    • Electronic energies in an atom are supported by spectroscopic data showing distinct energy levels.

    Matter Waves and Velocity Comparison

    • Electrons exhibit higher velocity compared to protons for producing matter waves of the same wavelength.

    Wavelength Calculation in Electromagnetic Radiation

    • Determine wavelength from provided specifications in electromagnetic waves.

    Absorption of Light by Chlorophyll

    • Chlorophyll absorbs light at a frequency of 4.620 × 10^14 Hz, translating to a specific wavelength.

    Orbit vs. Orbital

    • "Orbit" refers to a defined path of an electron, while "orbital" describes the probability distribution of electron locations.

    Uncertainty Principle and Uncertainty Calculations

    • Example of a table-tennis ball to illustrate uncertainties in speed (4% of 90 m/s) and position.

    Significance of Uncertainty Principle

    • The principle applies mainly to microscopic particles, causing negligible effects for macroscopic objects.

    Effects of Electron Repulsion in Multi-electron Atoms

    • In multi-electron atoms, electron repulsion raises energy levels of electrons in the same principal quantum number.

    Ground State Electronic Configuration Matching

    • Various atomic configurations can be matched with their respective ground state electronic configurations.

    Wavelength Measurements in Electromagnetic Spectrum

    • Various waves such as X-rays, UV, long radio waves, and microwaves are matched with their frequency ranges for better understanding.
