Answer

a. n=5 b. -0.544eV c. $2.58\times10^{-34}J \cdot s $ d. $m_{\mathcal{l}}= -2,-1,0,1,2$

Work Step by Step

a. The principal quantum number is n=5. b. Find the energy of the state using equation 27–15b. $$E_5=-\frac{-13.6eV}{5^2}=-0.544eV$$ c. The “d” subshell has $\mathcal{l}=2$. The magnitude of the angular momentum depends only on $\mathcal{l}$. $$L=\sqrt{\mathcal{l}(\mathcal{l}+1)}\hbar=\sqrt{6}\hbar$$ $$=\sqrt{6}\hbar=\sqrt{6}(1.055\times10^{-34}J \cdot s) =2.58\times10^{-34}J \cdot s $$ d. The values of $m_{\mathcal{l}}$ range from $-\mathcal{l}$ to $\mathcal{l}$. Thus, for $\mathcal{l}=2$, $m_{\mathcal{l}}= -2,-1,0,1,2$.
