The wave function, ψn, l, ml is a mathematical function whose value depends upon spherical polar coordinates r, θ, ϕ of the electron and characterized by the quantum numbers n, l and ml . Here r is distance from nucleus, θ is colatitude and ϕ is azimuth. In the mathematical functions given in the Table, Z is atomic number and ao is Bohr radius.

(I) Is orbital(i) ψn, l, ml Zao32 e-Zreo(P)
(II) 2s orbital(ii) One radial node(Q) Probability density at nucleus 1ao3

(IV) 3dz2 orbital(iv) xy -plane is a nodal plane(S) Energy needed to excite an electron from n=2 state to n=4 state is 2732 times the energy needed to excite electron from n=2 state to n=6 state.
For hydrogen atom, what is the only CORRECT combination?
  1. (I) (i) (P)
  2. (II) (i) (Q)
  3. (I) (iv) (R)
  4. (I) (i) (S)

Solution

We have to select only correct combination hence, the option (iv) is correct.

For 1s orbital : ψnlm αZa032 e-zra0

Energy needed to excite an electron : from n=2 to n=4

ΔE2-4=13.6 Z2×316eV

Energy needed to excite an electron : from n=2 to n=6

ΔE2-6=13.6 Z2×836

ΔE2-4=2732 E2-6  (hence, true)
