CHEM1111 Tutorial 3 - Answers To Critical Thinking Questions Model 1: Electron Energy

This document summarizes key concepts from a chemistry tutorial on electron energy levels, atomic spectroscopy, and light as a wave. It includes tables showing the energy and average distance of electrons in different energy levels. Graphs show energy levels of the hydrogen atom and its atomic spectrum. The document also illustrates the wave-like properties of light, showing the relationship between wavelength and amplitude over time.

CHEM1111 Tutorial 3 – Answers to Critical Thinking Questions

Model 1: Electron Energy

1. n En (J) raverage (m)


1 −218 × 10−20 0.529 × 10−10
2 −54.5 × 10−20 2.12 × 10−10
3 −24.2 × 10−20 4.76 × 10−10
4 −13.6 × 10−20 8.46 × 10−10
5 −8.72 × 10−20 13.2 × 10−10
6 −6.06 × 10−20 19.0 × 10−10

2. See left hand graph.

3. The energy of the levels gets closer to 0, and they get closer together as n increases. The average
distance from the nucleus gets rapidly larger as n increases.

4. The energy of the electron tends to zero and the average distance of an electron from a nucleus tends to
infinity when n becomes very large.

5. Each energy would become more negative by a factor of Z2 (Z = charge on the nucleus). This would
mean that the energy levels would be lower on the graph.

6. Shown as red lines on the left hand graph below.

7. Shown as red lines on the left hand graph below.


n=4 → n = 3 10.6 x 10−20 J
→ n = 2 40.9 x 10−20 J
→ n = 1 204 x 10−20 J

8. Shown as blue lines on the graphs below.


n=5 → n = 4 4.88 x 10−20 J
→ n = 3 15.5 x 10−20 J
→ n = 2 45.8 x 10−20 J
→ n = 1 209 x 10−20 J
9. See right hand graph below.

10. Energy increases when wavelength decreases, i.e. becomes shorter (from E = hc/λ)
(a) 7.1 × 10−7 m (710 nm) to 4.0 × 10−7 m (400 nm).
(b) red to violet

11. The lines in the visible region all result from jumps to the n = 2 level.

12. The lines in the ultraviolet region all result from jumps to the n = 1 level.
