Problem Solution of chapter 1&2

1. An excited electron in an Na atom emits radiation at a wavelength 589


nm and returns to the ground state. If the mean time for the transition is
about 20 ns, calculate:

a. Uncertainty in the energy E.

b. Uncertainty in the frequency .

c. Uncertainty in the wave length (spread in wavelength) .

SOLUTION
2. For each of the following atoms, sketch the electronic structure, using a box for an
orbital wavefunction and an arrow (up or down) for an electron:

a. Manganese, [Ar]3d5 4s2

b. Cobalt, [Ar]3d7 4s2

3. Sketch energy level diagrams and the occupancy of the molecular orbital energy
levels for O2.
