Locate the radial nodes of each of the 3d orbitals of a hydrogenic atom of atomic number Z
Locate the radial and angular nodes for each of the 3p orbitals of a hydrogenic atom of atomic number Z. Give the angular nodes for the angular functions Y1,1(Θ,Φ) and Y1,–1(Θ,Φ) “by themselves” and when they are combined to give the 3px and 3py orbitals.
7. The radial component of the 2p wavefunction is R2p(r)-ơe-r/2 where σ--Zr/ao. In terms of ao, for hydrogen what is the most probable distance from the nucleus of finding an electron in the 2p state? (10 points) 8. The number of nodes (points where the wavefunction crosses the r axis) of the radial How many nodes does the 3d component of the hydrogen wavefunction is wavefunction Rsd(r) have? (4 points)
3. (a) Find the value of 20!. ( Locate the nodes of the harmonic oscillator wavefunction with (8 +17 25 points) v 1. Write all the steps with the reasons for your answer.
The 3s orbital has two radial nodes. Radial nodes occur at Rn,l(r) = 0. Determine the values r for those nodes in terms of a0. (Hint: Focus on the quadratic equation in the parentheses only and solve it for ρ. Thus the roots or the two values are yielded for ρ. Continue on to solve for r twice using ρ = (2Z/na0)r.)
The hydrogenic radial function R(r) are relatively simple for
the case l = n-1 (the maximum allowed value for l for given n):
R(r) = Arn-1 er/ab
(l = n -1)
(a) Write down the radial schrodinger equation for this
case.
(b) Verify that the proposed solution does indeed satisfy this
equation if and only if En = -Er/n2
(c) Plot the radial function R(r) for n = 0,1,2, (assume
ab=1)
2) (a) Name the three quantum numbers that define the wavefunction for a hydrogenic 1 electron) orbital, and briefly state what each number defines. (b) According to the rules for quantum numbers, state which orbitals from the following list are not allowed and explain what rule is being violated: 1s, 1p, 3p, 3f, 4d, an orbital with 2 and mi -2, an orbital with0 and mi+1
