Not entirely sure the equation is applicable to this questions, but n pertains to which energy level basically has a radius of the interatomic spacing.
I think r in this case is the interatomic spacing. I do not believe it changes. The questions simply asks for n based on the given "r", if I am not mistaken.
Homework Statement
In a gas of hydrogen under normal conditions, the interatomic spacing is 1.56 × 10^−8 m . Assume the gas is made of atomic, not molecular, hydrogen. For what n-value of the hydrogen atoms is the size of the atom comparable to the interatomic spacing?The value of h bar is...
It doesn't state the units, which i thought was weird.
Here are some constants provided -
The value of h bar is 1.05457 × 10^−34 J · s ; the speed of light is 2.99799 × 10^8 m/s ; the value of h is 6.62607 × 10^−34 J · s ; the Rydberg constant for hydrogen is 1.09735 × 10^7 m −1 ; the Bohr...
Homework Statement
Consider the NaCl molecule, in which the atomic weights of Na and Cl are 23 and 37, respectively. The internuclear separation is 0.236 nm, and the ”spring constant” for vibrations is k = Mred ω^2 = 1 × 10^9 J/m^2 . Calculate the energy difference between adjacent vibrational...
