So I think that I got all of these ones correct, if you have different answers, please feel free to notify

UP A BIT, BECAUSE HE WILL STOP GIVING US TAKE HOME TESTS OTHERWISE.

Multiple Choice:

1 d. If n and l equal 3 and 2, respectively, you know that the outermost orbital must be the d-
orbital. Subsequently, you know that the d-orbital contains 10 electrons.

3∗1017 nm / sec 3
2 b. 14
=0.5∗10 This can be simplified as 500 nanometers.
6∗10 Hz

3 d. Any f-orbital can hold a maximum of 14 electrons, since its seven sublevels can hold two
electrons each.

4 b. Any d-orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons, so if each sublevel can hold two
electrons, than you have a maximum of 5 orbitals.

5 c. Element X has 3 valence electrons, and element Y only has one. Therefore, you need three of
element Y, to get three valence electrons. The compound is lithium nitride.

6 c. The frequency of a wave can be represented by dividing the speed of light, by the
wavelength. Light travels at 3∗1017 nm /sec , so the equation takes the form of
3∗1017
6.63∗10−34∗6.02∗10 23 . This can be simplified to the solution found in c.
434

7 b. If you look on page 94 of the chapter 6 handout, it mentions in the diagram, that as the
wavelength decreases, frequency and energy increase. Therefore, if the wavelength were to
increase, the frequency and energy would decrease.

8 a. I honestly don't remember how I got the answer to this one, but I know for sure that it can't be
d or e, because the electron configuration only goes up to 4s.

9 c. If you look at the electron configurations, Magnesium is the only one, which has all orbitals
and sublevels filled with electrons. Therefore, 1 2 and 4 are paramagnetic.

10 d. Again, I don't remember how I got the answer to this problem.

Free Response:

1 a.
i. Frequency is found when you divide the speed of light by the wavelength. The speed of
3∗1017 nm/ sec
light is 3∗1017 nm/sec . Therefore = 4.57 Hertz(Hz)
656nm
ii. Now that we have the frequency of the wave, we can find the energy.
6.63∗10−34 joules /sec∗4.57Hz = 3.03∗10−19 joules . Energy (E)= frequency
(v)* Planck's constant (h).
iii. This one is super easy, because you just multiply 3.03∗10−19 joules by 6.02∗10 23 .
This gives an answer of 182527 joules per mole.

b. The diagram on page 96 of the handout shows that visible red light travels at the frequency of
656 Hz.

c. Bohr's atomic model showed that electrons could be found in orbitals, outside of the nucleus.
Erwin Schrodinger stated that electrons are unusual, and that they act like particles and waves.
Bohr expanded upon this research, and was able to develop an atomic emission spectrum for the
element hydrogen.

2 a. The electron configuration for atomic oxygen is 1s2 2s2 2p4 . Atomic oxygen is one atom of
oxygen, and is not the ground state of oxygen. The ground state of oxygen is O2 . Atomic
oxygen is paramagnetic, because it contains two unpaired electrons.

b. Oxygen has a valence of two minus, so therefore, the electron configuration would be
1s2 2s2 2p6 . For the quantum numbers, choose the first eight

3∗1017 nm /sec
c. v = . The frequency equals 1.25∗10 15 Hz . This multiplied by Planck's
240nm
constant, 6.63∗10−34 joules /sec and multiplied by Avogadro's number, 6.02∗10 23 , gives
you 498907.5 joules per mole. Divide this by 1000, and you get 498.9075 kilojoules per mole.

3 a. n is the principal quantum number, and it tells us what sublevel we are in. Since l= 1, we also
know that we are looking at p-orbitals, and that the p-orbitals contain 3 orbitals.

b. The values of M l fall between the range of −1M−l1 . Orbital one has a value of -1,
orbital two has a value of 0, and orbital three has a value of 1.
