(a) Zeffe for an electron in a 1s-orbital is the same as Zeffe for an electron in a 2s-orbital. (b) Zeffe for an electron in a 2s-orbital is the same as Zeffe for an electron in a 2p-orbital. (c) An electron in the 2s-orbital has the same energy as an electron in the 2p-orbital. (d) The electrons in the 2p-orbitals have spin quantum numbers m, of opposite sign. (e) The electrons in the 2s-orbital have the same value of the quantum number ms.

Investigating Energy Levels Consider the hypothetical atom X that has one electron like the H atom but has different energy levels. The energies of an electron in an X atom are described by the equation E=RHn3 where RH is the same as for hydrogen (2.179 1018 J). Answer the following questions, without calculating energy values. a How would the ground-state energy levels of X and H compare? b Would the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of H be higher or lower than that of an electron in the n = 2 level of X? Explain your answer. c How do the spacings of the energy levels of X and H compare? d Which would involve the emission of a higher frequency of light, the transition of an electron in an H atom from the n = 5 to the n = 3 level or a similar transition in an X atom? e Which atom, X or H, would require more energy to completely remove its electron? f A photon corresponding to a particular frequency of blue light produces a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 5 level of a hydrogen atom. Could this photon produce the same transition (n = 12 to n = 5) in an atom of X? Explain.
