A matter wave does not need a medium, but a wave on a string does. The square of the wave
function for a matter wave describes the probability of finding a particle within a certain
spatial range. The function for a wave on a string describes the displacement of a piece of the
string from its equilibrium position as a function of location and time.
Neither an EM nor a matter wave needs a medium in which to exist. The EM wave describes the
amplitudes and directions of the electric and magnetic fields as a function of location and time.
An EM wave represents a vector field and can be polarized. A matter wave is a scalar and cannot
be polarized.
2.
According to Bohrs theory, each electron in an atom travels in a circular orbit and has a precise
position and momentum at any point in time. This view is inconsistent with the postulates of quantum
mechanics and the uncertainty principle, which does not allow both the position and momentum to be
known precisely. According to quantum mechanics, the orbitals of electrons do not have precise
radii, but describe the probability of finding an electron in a given spatial range.
3.
As a particle becomes more massive, the uncertainty of its momentum (p = m ) becomes larger,
which reduces the uncertainty of its position (due to x /p ). Thus, with a small uncertainty of its
position, we can do a better job of predicting its future position.
4.
Because of the very small value of , the uncertainties in both a baseballs momentum and position can
be very small compared to typical macroscopic positions and momenta without being close to the limit
imposed by the uncertainty principle. For instance, the uncertainty in the baseballs position could be
1010 m, and the uncertainty in the baseballs momentum 1010 kg m/s, and still easily satisfy the
uncertainty principle. Yet we never try to measure the position or momentum of a baseball to that
precision. For an electron, however, typical values of uncertainty in position and momentum can be close
to the uncertainty principle limit, so the relative uncertainty can be much higher for that small object.
5.
No. According to the uncertainty principle, if the needle were balanced, then the position of the center of
mass would be known exactly, and there would have to be some uncertainty in its momentum. The center
of mass of the needle could not have a zero momentum and therefore would fall over. If the initial
momentum of the center of mass of the needle were exactly zero, then there would be uncertainty in its
position, and the needle could not be perfectly balanced (with the center of mass over the tip).

No. The hot soup will warm the thermometer when they come in contact. Thus the final temperature of
the thermometer/soup system will be less than the initial temperature of the soup. Accordingly, the
final thermometer reading will be lower than the original temperature of the soup. This is a situation
where making a measurement affects the physical situation and causes uncertainty in the measurement.
7.
No. However, the greater the precision of the measurement of position, the greater the uncertainty in
the measurement of the momentum of the object will be.
8.
If you knew the position precisely, then you would know nothing about the momentum.
9.
Yes, some of the air escapes the tire (and goes into the tire gauge) in the act of measuring the pressure.
It is impossible to avoid this escape. The act of measuring the air pressure in a tire therefore actually
changes the pressure, although not by much since very little air escapes compared to the total amount
of air in the tire. This is similar to the uncertainty principle, in which one of the two factors limiting the
precision of measurement is the interaction between the object being observed, or measured, and the
observing instrument. By making the measurement, you have affected the state of the system.
10.
Yes, this is consistent with the uncertainty principle for energy (E t ). The ground-state energy
can be very precisely known because the electrons remain in that state for a very long time. Thus, as
t , E 0. However, the electrons do not remain in the excited states for very long, thus the
t in this case is relatively small, making the E , the energy width, relatively large.
11.
The quantum-mechanical model predicts that the electron spends more time near the nucleus. In the
Bohr model, the electron in the ground state is in a fixed orbit of definite radius. The electron cannot
come any closer to the nucleus than that distance. In the quantum-mechanical model, the most
probable location for the electron is the Bohr radius, but it can also be found closer to the nucleus (and
farther away). See Fig. 286 for a visual representation of this question.
12.
As the number of electrons goes up, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, which increases
the attraction of the electrons to the center of the atom. Even though the outer electrons are partially
screened from the increased nuclear charge by the inner electrons, they are all pulled closer to the more
positive nucleus. Also, more states are available in the upper shells to accommodate many more
electrons at approximately the same radius.
13.
Because the nuclei of hydrogen and helium are different, the energy levels of the atoms are different. The
presence of the second electron in helium will also affect its energy levels. If the energy levels are
different, then the energy difference between the levels will be different and the spectra will be different.
14.
If there were no electron spin, then, according to the Pauli exclusion principle, s subshells would be
filled with one electron, p subshells with three electrons, and d subshells with five electrons. The first

(a) and (c) are allowed for atoms in an excited state. (b) is not allowed. Only six electrons are allowed
in the 2p state.
16.
(a)
Group VII. Outer electrons are 2s 2 2p5 : fluorine.
(b)
Group II. Outer electrons are 3s 2 : magnesium.
(c)
Group VIII. Outer electrons are 3s 2 3p 6 : argon.
(d)
Group I. Outer electron is 4s1: potassium.
17.
Both chlorine and iodine are in the same column of the Periodic Table (column VII). Thus, both of
their outer electron configurations are p5 (5 electrons in their outer p shell), which makes them both
halogens. Halogens lack one electron from a filled shell, so their outer electron orbit shapes are similar
and can readily accept an additional electron from another atom. This makes their chemical reaction
properties extremely similar.
18.
Both sodium and potassium are in the same column of the Periodic Table (column I). Thus, both of
their outer electron configurations are s1 (1 electron in their outer s shell), which makes them both
alkali metals. Alkali metals have one lone electron in their outermost shell, so their outer electron orbit
shapes are similar and they can readily share this electron with another atom (especially since this
outermost electron spends a considerable amount of time very far away from the nucleus). This makes
their chemical reaction properties extremely similar.
19.
Rare-earth elements have similar chemical properties because the electrons in the filled 6s or
7s suborbitals serve as the valence electrons for all these elements. They all have partially filled
inner f suborbitals, which are very close together in energy. The different numbers of electrons in the
f suborbitals have little effect on the chemical properties of these elements.
20.
Neon is a closed shell atoma noble gas. All of its shells are completely full and spherically
symmetric, so its electrons are not readily ionized. Sodium is a Group I atom (an alkali metal) that has
one lone electron in the outermost shell, and this electron spends a considerable amount of time far
away from the nucleus and also shielded from the nucleus. The result is that sodium can be ionized
much easier than neon, which the two ionization energies demonstrate very well.
21.
The difference in energy between n = 1 and n = 2 levels is much bigger than between any other
combination of energy levels. Thus, electron transitions between the n = 1 and n = 2 levels produce
photons of higher energy and frequency, which means that these photons have shorter wavelengths
(since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other).
22.
The Bohr model does violate the uncertainty principle, specifically by saying that an electron in a
given orbit has a precise radius and a precise momentum. The uncertainty principle says that knowing
both the location and the momentum precisely is not possible.
23.
Noble gases are nonreactive because they have completely filled shells or subshells. In that
configuration, other electrons are not attracted, nor are electrons readily lost. Thus they do not react
(share or exchange electrons) with other elements. Alkali metals all have a single outer s electron. This
outer electron is easily removed and can spend much of its time around another atom, forming a
molecule. Thus alkali metals are highly reactive.

Spontaneous emission occurs when an electron is in an excited state of an atom and it spontaneously
(with no external stimulus) drops back down to a lower energy level. To do this, it emits a photon to
carry away the excess energy. Stimulated emission occurs when an electron is in an excited state of an
atom but a photon strikes the atom and causes or stimulates the electron to make its transition to a
lower energy level sooner than it would have done so spontaneously. The stimulating photon has to
have the same energy as the difference in energy levels of the transition. The result is two photons of
the same frequencythe original one and the one due to the emission.
25.
Laser light is coherent (all of the photons are in the same phase) and ordinary light is not coherent (the
photons have random phases relative to each other). Laser light is nearly a perfect plane wave, while
ordinary light is spherically symmetric (which means that the intensity of laser light remains nearly
constant as it moves away from the source, while the intensity of ordinary light drops off as 1/r 2 ).
Laser light is always monochromatic, while ordinary light can be monochromatic, but it usually is not.
However, both travel at c and both display the waveparticle duality of photons. Both are created when
electrons fall to lower energy levels and emit photons. Both are electromagnetic waves.
26.
The 0.0005-W laser beams intensity is nearly constant as it travels away from its source since it is
approximately a plane wave. The street lamps intensity drops off as 1/r 2 as it travels away from its
source since it is a spherically symmetric wave. So, at a distance, the power from the lamp light
actually reaching the camera is much less than 1000 W. Also, the street lamps intensity is spread out
over many wavelengths (many of which are probably not in the visible range), whereas the lasers
intensity is all at one (assumed visible) wavelength.
27.
No, the intensity of light from a laser beam does not drop off as the inverse square of the distance.
Laser light is much closer to being a plane wave than a spherically symmetric wave, so its intensity is
nearly constant along the entire beam. It does spread slightly over long distances, so it is not a perfect
plane wave.
28.
The continuous portion of the X-ray spectrum is due to the bremsstrahlung radiation. An incoming
electron gives up energy in the collision and emits light. Electrons can give up all or part of their
kinetic energy. The maximum amount of energy an electron can give up is its total amount of kinetic
energy. In the photon description of light, the maximum electron kinetic energy will correspond to the
energy of the shortest-wavelength (highest-energy) photons that can be produced in the collisions. The
result is the existence of a cutoff wavelength in the X-ray spectrum. An increase in the number of
electrons will not change the cutoff wavelength. According to wave theory, an increase in the number
of electrons could result in the production of shorter-wavelength photons, which is not observed
experimentally.
29.
When we use the Bohr theory to calculate the X-ray line wavelengths, we estimate the nuclear charge
seen by the transitioning electron as Z 1, assuming that the second electron in the ground state is
partially shielding the nuclear charge. This is only an estimate, so we do not expect the calculated
wavelengths to agree exactly with the measured values.
30.
To figure out which lines in an X-ray spectrum correspond to which transitions, you would use the
Bohr model to estimate the differences in the sizes of the energy level jumps that the falling electrons
will make. Then, you just need to match the n = 2 n = 1 energy to the K line, the n = 3 n = 1
energy to the K line, the n = 3 n = 2 jump energy to the L line, and so on.

Responses to MisConceptual Questions

1.
(b)
A common error is to add up the coefficients (principal quantum numbers), which would give an
answer of 15. However, the exponents represent the number of electrons in each subshell. In this
case there are 19 electrons.
2.
(b)
The orbital quantum numbers are represented by the subshell letters: s = 0 and p = 1. Since
only s and p subshells are present, only the orbital quantum numbers 0 and 1 are in the electron
configuration.
3.
(a)
In considering electrons, if only the particle property of electrons is considered, then the electron
is viewed as a point particle passing through the slit. The electron also has wave properties and
therefore undergoes diffraction as it passes through the slit.
4.
(c)
A common misconception is that all of the electrons have their lowest quantum numbers when in
the ground state. However, due to the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons can have the
same quantum numbers. The ground state of an atom is when each electron occupies the lowest
energy state available to it without violating the exclusion principle.
5.
(e)
The Pauli exclusion principle applies to all electrons within the same atom. No two electrons in
an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. Electrons from different atoms can
have the same set of quantum numbers (for example, two separate atoms in the same container or
two atoms from different parts of the Periodic Table).
6.
(c)
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle deals with our inability to know the position and
momentum of a particle precisely. The more precisely you can determine the position, the less
precisely you can determine the momentum, and vice versa.
7.
(a)
In an atom, multiple electrons will be in the same shell and can therefore have the same value
of n. Electrons in different shells can have the same value of m . Electrons in different atoms
can also have the same set of four quantum numbers. The Pauli exclusion principle does not
allow electrons within the same atom to have the same set of four quantum numbers.
8.
(e)
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle prohibits the exact measurement of position and velocity at
the same time; the product of their uncertainties will always be greater than a constant value.
9.
(c)
The uncertainty principle allows for a precise measurement of the position, provided that there is
a large uncertainty in the momentum. It also allows for a precise measurement of the momentum,
provided that the simultaneous measurement of the position has a large uncertainty. It does not
allow for the precise measurement of position and momentum at the same time.
10.
(d)
Laser light is monochromatic (all photons have nearly identical frequencies), is coherent (all
photons have the same phase), moves as a beam, and is created by a population inversion. A
laser beam usually is intense, but it does not have to be brighter than other sources of light.

We find the wavelength of the neutron from Eq. 278, using the classical relationship between
momentum and kinetic energy for the low energy neutrons. The peaks of the interference pattern are

For oxygen, Z = 8. We start with the n = 1 shell, and list the quantum numbers in the order
(n, , m , ms ).
(1, 0, 0, 12 ), (1, 0, 0, + 12 ), (2, 0, 0, 12 ), (2, 0, 0, + 12 ),
(2, 1, 1, 12 ), (2, 1, 1, + 12 ), (2, 1, 0, 12 ), (2, 1, 0, + 12 )
Note that, without additional information, there are two other possibilities that could substitute for any
of the last four electrons. The third quantum number could be changed to 1.

The g subshell has = 4. The value of m can range from to + , so there are 9 values of m :
m = 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 . Each of the 9 m values represents two states, so the g subshell
can hold 18 electrons .

The configurations can be written with the subshells in order by energy (4s before 3d, for example) or

The third electron in lithium is in the 2s subshell, which is outside the more tightly bound filled 1s
shell. This makes it appear as if there is a nucleus with a net charge of + 1e. Use the energy of the
hydrogen atom, Eq. 2715b.
E2 =
(13.6 eV)
n

= 3.4 eV
We predict the binding energy to be 3.4 eV. Our assumption of complete shielding of the nucleus by
the 2s electrons is evidently not correct. The partial shielding means the net charge of the nucleus is
higher than +1e, so it holds the outer electron more tightly, requiring more energy to remove it.
29.
In a filled subshell, there are an even number of electrons. Those electrons have m values of
, + , , 1, 0,1, , 1, . For each of those electrons, Lz = m . When all of those Lz values
are calculated and summed, the total is + ( + 1) + + ( 1) + = 0. Half of the electrons
have spin angular momentum of up, and the other half have spin angular momentum of down. The
sum of those spin angular momenta is also 0. Thus the total angular momentum is 0.

Since the electron is in its lowest energy state, we must have the lowest possible value of n. Since
m = 2, the smallest possible value of is = 2 , and the smallest possible value of n is n = 3 .
32.
Photon emission means a jump to a lower state, so n = 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. For a d subshell,

because = 1, the new value of must be 1 or 3.
(a)

format requested, these states are: (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5, 1), (4, 3), (5, 3) .
(b)
In a hydrogen atom, has no appreciable effect on energy, so for energy purposes there are four
possible destination states, corresponding to n = 2, 3, 4, and 5. Thus, there are four different
photon wavelengths corresponding to four possible changes in energy.

The smallest wavelength X-ray has the most energy, which is the maximum KE of the electron in the
tube. A 28.5-kV potential difference means that the electrons have 28.5 keV of KE.

The longest wavelength of the continuous spectrum would be at the limit of the X-ray region of the
electromagnetic spectrum, generally on the order of 1 nm.

Thus the operating voltage of the tube is 36 kV .

We do not expect perfect agreement because there is some partial shielding provided by the n = 2
shell, which was ignored when we replaced Z with Z 1. That would make the effective atomic
number a little smaller, which would lead to a larger wavelength. The amount of shielding could be
estimated by using the actual wavelength and solving for the effective atomic number.

Limiting the number of electron shells to six would mean that the Periodic Table stops with radon
(Rn), since the next element, francium (Fr), begins filling the seventh shell. Including all elements up
through radon, there would be 86 elements.

The periodicity of the Periodic Table depends on the number and arrangement of the electrons in the
atom. The Pauli exclusion principle requires that each electron have distinct values for the principal
quantum number, angular orbital quantum number, magnetic quantum number, and spin quantum
number. As electrons are added to the atom, the electrons fill the lowest available energy states. Atoms
with the same number of electrons in the outer shells have similar properties, which accounts for the
periodicity of the Periodic Table. The quantization of the angular momentum determines the number of
angular momentum states allowed in each shell. These are represented by the letters s, p, d, f, etc. The
magnitude of the angular momentum also limits the number of magnetic quantum states available for
each orbital angular state. Finally, the electron spin allows for two electrons (one spin up and one spin
down) to exist in each magnetic quantum state. So the Pauli exclusion principle, quantization of
angular momentum, direction of angular momentum, and spin all play a role in determining the
periodicity of the Periodic Table.

The quantum-mechanical theory retained the aspect that electrons only exist in discrete states of
definite energy levels. It also retained the feature that an electron absorbs or emits a photon when
it changes from one energy state to another.
In the Bohr model the electrons moved in circular orbits around the nucleus. In the quantummechanical model the electrons occupy orbitals about the nucleus and do not have exact, welldefined orbits.
We treat the Earth as a particle in rotation about the Sun. The angular momentum of a particle is
given in Eq. 2711 as L = m rn , where r is the orbit radius. We equate this to the quantummechanical expression in Eq. 283. We anticipate that the quantum number will be very large, so

The location of the beam is uncertain in the transverse (y) direction by an amount equal to the
aperture opening, D. This gives a value for the uncertainty in the transverse momentum. The
momentum must be at least as big as its uncertainty, so we obtain a value for the transverse
momentum.

For noble gases, the electrons fill all available states in the outermost shell. Helium has two electrons
which fill the 1s shell. For the other noble gases, there are six electrons in the p subshells, filling each of
those shells. For each of these gases, the next electron would have to be added to an s subshell at much
higher energy. Since the noble gases have a filled shell, they do not react chemically with other elements.
Lithium, which has three electrons and is the first alkali metal, has its third electron in the 2s shell.
This shell has significantly higher energy than the 1s shell. All of the alkali metals have one electron in
their outer s subshell and therefore react well with halogens.
Halogens all have five electrons in their outer p subshell. They react well with atoms that have a donor
electron in their outer shell, like the alkali metals.

The uncertainty in the electron position is x = r1. The minimum uncertainty in the velocity, , can
be found by solving Eq. 281, where the uncertainty in the momentum is the product of the electron
mass and the uncertainty in the velocity.

According to the uncertainty principle, it is impossible to measure a system without disturbing, or

affecting, the system. The more precisely you measure the position, the greater the disturbance in the
momentum, and hence the greater the uncertainty in the momentum. The more precisely you measure
the momentum, the greater the disturbance in the position, and hence the greater the uncertainty in the
position. When measuring position and momentum, there is a minimum value for the product of the
uncertainties in momentum and position.
