Can some in solving these quantum mechanics problems

In summary, the conversation discussed the de-Broglie wavelength of a He-atom in a container at room temperature, the number of exchange pairs of electrons in the configuration of Cu, and the calculation of energy for the lower excitation state of a He atom. The equations used include de-Broglie wavelength, wavenumber, and energy at nth orbit. The conversation also mentioned the relation between velocity and temperature, and the formula for calculating exchange pairs. The solution provided includes the use of room temperature, mass, and velocity to calculate the de-Broglie wavelength. However, there is uncertainty in solving question 2 and additional help is needed.

Homework Statement



ques 1 what is de-Broglie wavelength of a He-atom in a container at room temperature.
ques 2 calculate the number of exchange pairs of electrons present in configuration of Cu according to Aufbau Principle including d and s electrons.
ques 3 He atom can excited to 1s12p2 by λ = 58.44nm. If lowest excited state for He lies 4857cm- below the above. We need to calculate the energy for the lower excitation state.

Homework Equations



in the first question we can use de-Broglie wavelength,λ=h/mv but the problem is in finding the room temperature. is there any relation in finding velocity of an atom and temperature?
in third question we can use wavenumber = 1/λ, energy at nth orbit = -13.6z2/n2

The Attempt at a Solution



i have no idea how to solve question-2. is there any formula for calculating exchange pairs? and what actually is a exchange pair? please help me out

. for question-1, i think room temperature is 273 K and for He, mass is 4u. so the de-Broglie wavelength will be λ=h/mv λ= 6.62606876*10^-34/4*1.66053886*10^-27 *sqrt(3*8.314*273/4) λ= 1.35324*10^-10 m
