Question
How many electrons in an atom may have the following quantum numbers?
n = 4, `m_s = -1/2`
Advertisements
Solution
Total number of electrons in an atom for a value of n = 2n2
∴ For n = 4,
Total number of electrons = 2 (4)2
= 32
The given element has a fully filled orbital as
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10.
Hence, all the electrons are paired.
∴ Number of electrons (having n = 4 and `m_s = -1/2`) = 16

For the ground state, the electron in the H-atom has an angular momentum = h, according to the simple Bohr model. Angular momentum is a vector and hence there will be infinitely many orbits with the vector pointing in all possible directions. In actuality, this is not true ______.
The inverse square law in electrostatics is |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0).r^2)` for the force between an electron and a proton. The `(1/r)` dependence of |F| can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the ‘particle’ of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass mp, force would be modified to |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0)r^2) [1/r^2 + λ/r]`, exp (– λr) where λ = mpc/h and h = `h/(2π)`. Estimate the change in the ground state energy of a H-atom if mp were 10-6 times the mass of an electron.
