Solution Summary

The solution investigates the energy of orbitals.

Solution Preview

If we ignore the very small perturbations due to spin-spin and spin-orbit interactions (such as in the super-fine structure of hydrogen), then we can say that the energy level of hydrogen's electron is determined by the principal quantum number n - so A is true.

B is also true. ...

  • Electronic Spectra and Coordination Chemistry

    Three degenerate orbitals of the metal, dxy, dxz and dyz, interact with the pi* orbitals of CO, causing the energy of the former to go down and that of the latter to go up, since pi* has high energy than d orbitals of the metal.

  • Oxidation States of Iron and Color Differences

    This splitting of the energies in the d orbitals is called the ligand field splitting and is symbolized by 10Dq. Two orbitals (eg orbitals) have higher energy, while three orbitals (t2g orbitals) have lower energy.

  • Strong Pi Donors and Acceptors

    These ligand orbitals interact with the t2g orbitals of the metal creating a bonding orbital which is slightly lower in energy than the t2g set of the metal, and an antibonding set of orbitals which are much greater in energy than the eg set of the complex

  • Molecular Orbital Theory vs Valence Bond Theory: Conductivity

    These orbitals have associated energies; if a bonding orbital is lower in energy that the anti bonding level, a bond will be formed. As the size of the molecule increases, the number of molecular orbitals increase.

  • Orbitals

    This element has the following configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d8 So we see that 3d orbitals are filled last due to the position of 4s and 3d orbitals in the energy level diagram. 4s and 3d orbitals have the same energy but 4s

  • elements paramagnetic in the 2nd row of the periodic table

    There are three orientations of p orbitals and two electrons to distribute. So two unpaired electrons N: 1s2 2s2 2p3 2p is the highest-energy orbital. There are three orientations of p orbitals and three electrons to distribute.

  • T/F questions about spin complexes, crystal field splitting

    Which of the statements below is false? a. In high spin complexes, the crystal field splitting energy is small. b. In low spin complexes, electrons are concentrated in the lower energy orbitals. c.

  • Bonding in Co-Ordination chemistry

    When the ligands create a weak field, such as water does, the energy difference between these two groups of orbitals is small. Electrons tend to occupy as many orbitals as possible to avoid the pairing penalty.

  • Electron Configurations of Atoms

    Dear Student, Please see the attached file for the electronic configuration of atoms. Thank you. The order of filling up the orbitals with electrons, according to the Aufbau principle, is based on the energy of the orbitals.

  • Atomic & Nuclear Structure Questions

    Instead of there being one s orbital and three p orbitals, the four orbitals combine and blend forming four hybrid orbitals called sp3 orbitals. That means they are made up of one part s and three parts p.
