AI Thread Summary
The largest quantum number for the Li3+ ion with an orbital radius of 60 Å is discussed, noting that Li3+ is a bare nucleus with no electrons. The calculation presented suggests that the quantum number can be approximated using the formula √(60×3/0.529), yielding results around 18 or 20 to one significant figure. The discussion emphasizes the unique nature of Li3+ in this context. Overall, the focus is on determining the quantum number relevant to the specified orbital radius.

Apart from belonging in the homework section, Li3+ is a bare nucleus. It has no electrons.
 
Apart from Li3+ being a bare nucleus, ##\sqrt{\dfrac{60\times 3}{0.529}}=18## or ##20## to one sig. fig.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
