In a hydrogen-like atom with atomic number Z = 3, what is the radius of the third orbit? Use rn = (0.53)n^2/Z Å.

Show answer

1.59 Å

Use rn = (0.53)n^2/Z Å. For n = 3 and Z = 3, r3 = 0.53 × 9 / 3 = 1.59 Å.

2multiple choice

For hydrogen, what is the speed of the electron in the second Bohr orbit if the speed in the first orbit is c/137?

Show answer

c/274

The speed varies as 1/n. If the first-orbit speed is c/137, then for n = 2 it becomes (c/137)/2 = c/274.

The energy of an electron in the ground state of hydrogen is -13.6 eV. What is the total energy of the electron in the fourth orbit?

Show answer

-0.85 eV

For hydrogen, En = -13.6/n^2 eV. For n = 4, En = -13.6/16 = -0.85 eV.

4multiple choice

A hydrogen atom changes from n = 4 to n = 1. What is the energy of the emitted photon?

Show answer

12.75 eV

Energy at n = 4 is -0.85 eV and at n = 1 is -13.6 eV. The emitted photon energy is the difference: -0.85 - (-13.6) = 12.75 eV.
