interference formulas from Chapter 34, with a small angle approximation. If the protons were
accelerated by a 650-volt potential difference, then they will have 650 eV of kinetic energy.

54. From energy conservation, the speed of a ball after falling a height H, or the speed needed to rise to a
height H, is v 2gH . We say that the starting height is H0, and so the speed just before the ball
hits the ground before the first bounce is v0 2gH0 . After that bounce, the ball rebounded to
H1 0.65H0, and so the speed right after the first bounce, and right before the second bounce, is
v1 2gH1 2g 0.65 H0 . Repeated application of this idea gives the maximum height after n
bounces as Hn 0.65n H0, and the maximum speed after n bounces as vn 2g 0.65n H0 . The
uncertainty principle will come into play in the problem when the maximum speed after a bounce is
of the same order as the uncertainty in the speed. We take the maximum height as the uncertainty in
the position.

After about 105 bounces, the uncertainty principle will be important to consider.
55. We model the electrons as being restricted from leaving the surface of the sodium by an energy
barrier, similar to Figure 38-15a. The difference between the barrier’s height and the energy of the
electrons is the work function, and so U0 E W0 2.28eV. But quantum mechanically, some
electrons will “tunnel” through that barrier without ever being given the work function energy, and
thus get outside the barrier, as shown in Figure 38-15b. This is the tunneling current as indicated in
Figure 38-18. The distance from the sodium surface to the tip of the microscope is the width of the
barrier, l. We calculate the transmission probability as a function of barrier width by Eqs. 38-17a
and 38-17b. The barrier is then increased to l l, which will lower the transmission probability.

The tunneling current is caused by electrons that tunnel through the barrier. Since current is directly
proportional to the number of electrons making it through the barrier, any change in the transmission
probability is reflected as a proportional change in current. So we see that the change in the
transmission probability, which will be reflected as a change in current, is a decrease of 27%. Note
that this change is only a fraction of the size of an atom.

59. (a) We assume the pencil is a uniform rod, and that it makes an angle of with the
vertical. If the bottom point is fixed, then the torque due to its weight about the
bottom point will cause an angular acceleration. See the diagram. l

From the equation, if the pencil is exactly upright, so that 0, then the mg
angular acceleration will be exactly 0 and the pencil will remain stationary.
But according to the uncertainty principle (as expressed at the bottom of page
1023), the angle cannot be known with 0 uncertainty. Let the z axis be coming out of the page.
Lz 0
Lz
Thus the pencil cannot have exactly 0, and so there will be a torque and hence rotation.
(b) For the initial part of the motion, the angle will be very small, and so the differential equation
can be expressed as 3g d 2 . The solutions to this differential equation are of the form

increasing in time, we ignore the second term, which decreases in time. Thus Aekt , with
t 0 0 A. The angular velocity of the pencil is approximated as d kAekt , and
dt
the initial angular velocity is 0 kA. We take the initial position and the initial angular
velocity as their smallest possible values, which are their uncertainties – the magnitude of a
quantity must be at least as big as its uncertainties. Apply the uncertainty principle in angular
form.

With this initial position and initial angular velocity, we can then do a numeric integration to
find the time when the angle is 2 rad. For a step size of 0.01 s, the time of fall is about
4.07 s. For a step size of 0.001 s, the time of fall is about 3.99 s. This is only about a 2%
change in the final result, so the time is pretty stable around 4 s. Even changing the starting
angle to a value 100 times bigger than that above (so 0 3.930 1014 rad ) still gives a time of
fall of 3.48 s. So within a factor of 2, we estimate the time of fall as 4 seconds.
Note that if the solution of the approximate differential equation is used, Aekt , we get the
following time of fall.

Example 38-7) is no more than 10% different than sin x dx , the exact probability.
xmin
We calculate the value of the integral using numeric integration (as described in Section 2-9), first
finding the number of steps needed between xmin and xmax that gives a stable value. Then we
compare the integral to the approximation. (Note that the integral could be evaluated exactly.)
To aid in the evaluation of the integral, we make the substitution that u x l. Then the integral
becomes as follows.
umax 1 1 x

In doing the numeric integrations, we found that for any value of x up to l, breaking the numeric
integration up into 50 steps gave the same answer to 3 significant digits as breaking it up into 100
steps. So we did all numeric integrations with 50 steps. We then numerically calculated the integral
for values of x l , starting at 0.01, and increasing by steps of 0.01, until we found a 10% difference
between the approximation and the numeric integration. This happens at x l 0.34, and so the
approximation is good within 10% up to x 0.34l 0.340.10 nm 0.034 nm . This is much
broader than we might have guessed initially, indicating that the wave function is varying rather
slowly over the central region of the potential well. The spreadsheet used for this problem can be

CHAPTER 39: Quantum Mechanics of Atoms
Responses to Questions
1. The Bohr model placed electrons in definite circular orbits described by a single quantum number
(n). The Bohr model could not explain the spectra of atoms more complex than hydrogen and could
not explain fine structure in the spectra. The quantum-mechanical model uses the concept of electron
“probability clouds,” with the probability of finding the electron at a given position determined by
the wave function. The quantum model uses four quantum numbers to describe the electron (n, l, ml,
ms) and can explain the spectra of more complex atoms and fine structure.
2. The quantity 2 is maximum at r = 0 because of its dependence on the factor er .r0 In the ground
state, the electron is expected to be found near the nucleus. The radial probability density
4 r2 2 gives the probability of finding the electron in a thin spherical shell located at r. Since r = 0
is at the center of the nucleus, the radial probability density is zero here.
3. 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 electron is
most often found at the Bohr radius, but it can also be found closer to the nucleus (and farther away).
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. The two levels have different orbital quantum numbers. The orbital quantum number for the upper
level is l = 2. This results in five different possible values of ml (–2, –1, 0, 1, and 2) so the energy
level is split into five separate levels in the presence of a magnetic field. The lower level shown has
an orbital quantum number of l = 1, so only three different values of ml (–1, 0 and 1) are possible,
and therefore the energy level is split into only three separate levels.
7. In the time-independent Schrödinger equation, the wave function and the potential depend on the
three spatial variables. The three quantum numbers result from application of boundary conditions to
the wave function.
8. The Zeeman effect is the splitting of an energy level in the presence of a magnetic field. In the
reference frame of the electron, the nucleus orbits the electron. The “internal” Zeeman effect, as seen
in sodium, is caused by the magnetic field produced by the “orbiting” nucleus.
9. (a) and (c) are allowed for atoms in an excited state. (b) is not allowed. Only six electrons are
allowed in the 2p state.

11. (a) Group II; (b) Group VIII; (c) Group I; (d) Group VII.
12. The periodicity of the periodic table depends on the number and arrangements of the electrons in the
atom. It therefore depends on all the factors which determine this arrangement. One of these, the
Pauli exclusion principle, states that no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state. The
number of electrons that can be in any principle state depends on how many different substates are
available, which is determined by the number of possible orbital quantum numbers for each principle
state, the number of possible magnetic quantum numbers for each orbital quantum number, and
finally, the number of spin orientations for each electron. Therefore, quantization of angular
momentum, direction of angular momentum, and spin all play a role in the periodicity of the periodic
table. (See Table 39-1 for a summary of the quantum numbers.)
13. 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 20 elements of the periodic table would look like the following:
H1 Na 11 Mg 12 Al 13 Si 14 P 15 Li 3 Be 4 B5
1s1 3d1 3d2 3d3 3d4 3d5 2p1 2p2 2p3
He 2 Ca 20 N7 O8 F9

C6 S 16 Cl 17 Ar 18
3s1 4p1 4p2 4p3
Ne 10
4s1
K 19
5s1
14. Neon is a noble gas and does not react readily with other elements. Neon has its outermost subshell
completely filled, and so the electron distribution is spherically symmetric, making it harder to
remove an electron. Sodium is in the first column of the periodic table and is an alkali metal. Sodium
has a single outer s electron, which is outside the inner closed shells and shielded from the nuclear
charge by the inner electrons, making it easier to remove. Therefore, neon has a higher ionization
energy than sodium, even though they differ in number of protons by only one.
15. Chlorine and iodine are in the same column of the periodic table. They are each one electron away
from having a complete outermost shell and will react readily with atoms having only one electron in
the outermost shell. Interactions with other atoms depend largely on the outermost electrons;
therefore these two elements will have similar properties because their outermost electrons are in
similar configurations.
16. Potassium and sodium are in the same column of the periodic table. They each have only one
electron in the outermost shell, and their inner shells are completely filled. Sodium has only one
electron in the n = 3 shell, or principle energy level, and potassium has only one electron in the n = 4
level. Interactions with other atoms depend largely on the outermost electrons, and therefore these
two elements will have similar properties because their outermost electrons are in similar
configurations.

17. 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 very little effect on the chemical properties of these elements.
18. 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.
19. In helium and other complex atoms, electrons interact with other electrons in addition to their
interactions with the nucleus. The Bohr theory only works well for atoms that have a single outer
electron in an s state. X-ray emissions generally involve transitions to the 1s or 2s states. In these
cases the Bohr theory can be modified to correct for screening from a second electron by using the
factor Z – 1 for the nuclear charge and can yield good estimates of the transition energies.
Transitions involving outer electrons in more complex atoms will be affected by additional complex
screening effects and cannot be adequately described by the Bohr theory.
20. 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 “cut-off” wavelength in the X-ray spectrum. An increase in
the number of electrons will not change the cut-off 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.
21. To figure out which lines in an X-ray spectrum correspond to which transitions, you would use the
Bohr model to estimate the energies of the transitions between levels and match these to the energies
of the observed lines. The energies of transitions to the n = 1 level (K) will be the greatest, followed
by the transitions to the n = 2 level (L). Within a level, the α line will have the lowest energy
(because it corresponds to a transition between adjacent levels), followed by the β line, and so on.
22. The characteristic X-ray spectra occur when inner electrons are knocked out of their shells. X-rays
are the high energy photons emitted when other electrons fall to replace the knocked-out electrons.
Because the shells involved are close to the nucleus, Z will have a direct influence on the energies.
The visible spectral lines due to transitions between upper levels have energies less influenced by Z
because the inner electrons shield the outer electrons from the nuclear charge.
23. The difference in energy between adjacent energy levels in an atom decreases with increasing n.
Therefore, transitions of electrons between inner energy levels will produce higher energy (shorter
wavelength) photons than transitions between outer energy levels.
24. The electron has a negative charge.
25. Consider a silver atom in its ground state for which the entire magnetic moment is due to the spin of
only one of its electrons. In a uniform magnetic field, the dipole will experience a torque that would
tend to align it with the field. In a non-uniform field, each pole of the dipole will experience a force
of different magnitude. Consequently, the dipole will experience a net force that varies with the
spatial orientation of the dipole. The Stern-Gerlach experiment provided the first evidence of space

quantization, since it clearly indicated that there are two opposite spin orientations for the outermost
electron in the silver atom.
26. Spontaneous emission occurs randomly when an electron in an excited state falls to a lower energy
level and emits a photon. Stimulated emission also results when an electron falls to a lower energy
level, but it occurs when a photon of the same energy as the transition stimulates the electron to fall
sooner than it would have naturally.
27. No. The intensity of a spherical wave, which spreads out in all directions, follows the inverse-square
law. A laser produces light that is very nearly a plane wave; its intensity is nearly constant with
distance.
28. Laser light is monochromatic, coherent, and in a narrow beam that spreads very little if at all.
Ordinary light is usually made up of many different wavelengths, incoherent, and spreads out in all
directions. Both types of light can be created when electrons fall to lower energy levels and emit
photons.
29. Since laser light is a plane wave, its intensity remains approximately constant with distance. The
light produced by a street lamp spreads out with an intensity that decreases as 1/r. Thus, at a
sufficient distance, the laser light will be more intense than the light from a street lamp.

1. The value of l can range from 0 to n 1. Thus for n = 7, l 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 .
2. The value of ml can range from l to l. Thus for l 3, ml 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3 .
The possible values of ms are 1 , 1 .

3. The value of l ranges from 0 to n 1. Thus for n 3, l 0,1,2. For each l the value of ml can
range from l to l, or 2l 1 values. For each ml there are 2 values of ms. Thus the number of
states for each l is 22l 1. The number of states is N 20 1 22 1 24 1

5. The value of l can range from 0 to n 1. Thus for l 5, we have n 6 .
For each l the value of ml can range from l to l : ml 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 .
There are two values of ms : ms 1 , 1 .

6. The magnitude of the angular momentum depends only on l.

(b) The energy of the state is

(c) The “g” subshell has l 4 . The magnitude of the angular momentum
depends on l only:
L l l 1 20 20 1.055 1034 Js 4.72 1034 Js
(d) For each l the value of ml can range from l to l : ml 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 .
8. (a) For each l the value of ml can range from l to l, or 2l 1 values. For each of these there
are two values of ms. Thus the total number of states in a subshell is N 22l 1 .
(b) For 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, N 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, and 26 , respectively.
9. For a given n, 0 l n 1. Since for each l the number of possible states is 22l 1, the number
of possible states for a given n is as follows.
n1 n 1 n n 1

10. Photon emission means a jump to a lower state, so for the final state, n = 1, 2, 3, or 4. For a d
subshell, l 2, and because l 1, the new value of l must be 1 or 3.
(a) l 1 corresponds to a p subshell, and l 3 corresponds to an f subshell. Keeping in mind that
0 l n 1, we find the following possible destination states: 2 p,3p,4 p,4 f .
(b) In a hydrogen atom, l has no appreciable effect on energy, and so for energy purposes there are
four possible destination states, corresponding to n = 2, 3, and 4. Thus there are three different
photon wavelengths corresponding to three possible changes in energy.
11. We use Eq. 39-3 to find l and Eq. 39-4 to find ml.

We solve this equation numerically for values of x that give P = 0.50, 0.90, and 0.99.

The above system has 6 non-infinite solutions. One solution is r = 0, which leads to Pr 0,
which is not a maximum for the radial distribution. The second-order polynomial,
1 2r 2r2 , is a factor of the radial probability distribution, and so its zeros also give
3r0 27r02
locations where Pr 0. So the maxima must be found from the roots of the third-order
polynomial. A spreadsheet was used to find the roots of 1 5 x 12 x2 2 x3 0. Those roots
3 27 81
are x 0.74, 4.19, and 13.07. So the most probable distance is r 13.1r0 .

n, l,ml ,ms .
1, 0, 0, 1 , 1, 0, 0, 1 , 2, 0, 0, 1 , 2, 0, 0, 1 , 2,1, 1, 1 , 2,1, 1, 1 ,

2 2 2 2 2 2 2
Note that, without additional information, there are other possibilities for the last electron.
30. The number of electrons in the subshell is determined by the value of l. For each l the value of ml
can range from l to l, which is 2l 1 values. For each ml value there are two values of ms.
Thus the total number of states for a given l is N 22l 1.
N 22l 1 2 24 1 18 electrons
31. Since the electron is in its lowest energy state, we must have the lowest possible value of n. Since
ml 2, the smallest possible value of l is l 2 , and the smallest possible value of n is n 3 .
32. 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 means 86 elements.

(c) Uranium has Z = 92.

34. 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. Thus we use the
energy of the hydrogen atom.
E2 13.6 eV 13.6 eV 3.4eV
n2 22
We predict the binding energy to be 3.4 eV . Our assumption of complete shielding of the nucleus
by the 2s electrons is probably not correct. The partial shielding means the net charge of the
“nucleus” is higher than +1e, and so it holds the outer electron more tightly, requiring more energy to
remove it.
35. We use Eq. 37-13, which says that the radius of a Bohr orbit is inversely proportional to the atomic
number. We also use Eq. 37-14b, which says that the energy of Bohr orbit is proportional to the
square of the atomic number. The energy to remove the electron is the opposite of the total energy.

36. The energy levels of the infinite square well are given in Eq. 38-13. Each energy level can have a
maximum of two electrons, since the only quantum numbers are n and ms. Thus the lowest energy
level will have two electrons in the n = 1 state, two electrons in the n = 2 state, and 1 electron in the
n = 3 state.

37. In a filled subshell, there are an even number of electrons. All of the possible quantum number
combinations for electrons in that subshell represent an electron that is present. Thus for every m
value, both values of ms are filled, representing a spin “up” state and a spin “down” state. The total
angular momentum of that pair is zero, and since all of the electrons are paired, the total angular
momentum is zero.
38. The shortest wavelength X-ray has the most energy, which is the maximum kinetic energy of the
electron in the tube:
E hc
6.63 1034 Js 3.00 108 m/s 4.6 104 eV 46 keV
1.60 1019 J/eV 0.027 109 m
Thus the operating voltage of the tube is 46 kV .
39. The shortest wavelength X-ray has the most energy, which is the maximum kinetic energy of the
electron in the tube.

E 1.60 1019 J/eV 32.5 103 eV
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.
40. The energy of the photon with the shortest wavelength must equal the maximum kinetic energy of an
electron. We assume V is in volts.

atom with Z replaced by Z 1. The energy of the photon is found, and then the wavelength.

42. We follow the procedure of Example 39-6, of using the Bohr formula, Eq. 37-15, with Z replaced by
Z – 1.

43. The wavelength of the K line is calculated for molybdenum in Example 39-6. We use that same
procedure. Note that the wavelength is inversely proportional to Z 12 .
ZFe 1 2
Zunknown 1 2
unknown Zunknown 194 pm
Fe 26 1 229 pm 1 24
The unknown material has Z = 24, and so is chromium.
44. We assume that there is “shielding” provided by the 1s electron that is already at that level. Thus the
effective charge “seen” by the transitioning electron is 42 – 1 = 41. We use Eqs. 37-9 and 37-14b.
hf E 13.6 eV Z 12 1 1

n2 n2 12 32
6.12 1011m 0.0612 nm
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 by 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.
45. Momentum and energy will be conserved in any inertial reference frame. Consider the frame of
reference that is moving with the same velocity as the electron’s initial velocity. In that frame of
reference, the initial momentum of the electron is 0, and its initial total energy is mc2. Let the
emitted photon have frequency f, and let the direction of motion of that photon be considered the
positive direction. The momentum of the photon is then p h hf , and so the momentum of the
c
electron must be pe hf . The final energy of the photon is E hf p c, and the final energy
c
of the electron is, from Eq. 36-13, Eelectron pe2c2 m2c4 . We write the conservation conditions,
final
and then solve for the frequency of the emitted photon.

Since the photon must have f = 0, no photon can be emitted and still satisfy the conservation laws.
Another way to consider this situation is that if an electron at rest emits a photon, the energy of the
electron must decrease for energy to be conserved. But the energy of a stationary electron cannot
decrease, unless its mass were to change. Then it would no longer be an electron.
So we conclude that a third object (with mass) must be present in order for both energy and
momentum to be conserved.

(c) The answer would be no different for hydrogen. The splitting for both atoms is due to an s-state
electron: 1s for hydrogen, 5s for silver. See the discussion on page 1058 concerning the Stern-
Gerlach experiment.
49. (a) Refer to Figure 39-14 and the equation following it. A constant magnetic field gradient will
produce a constant force on the silver atoms. Atoms with the valence electron in one of the spin
states will experience an upward force, and atoms with the valence electron in the opposite spin
state will experience a downward force. That constant force will produce a constant
acceleration, leading to the deflection from the original direction of the atoms as they leave the
oven. We assume the initial direction of the atoms is the x direction, and the magnetic field
gradient is in the z direction. If undeflected, that atoms would hit the screen at z = 0.

Since En En, to satisfy the last condition we must have T < 0, a negative temperature.
This negative “temperature” is not a contradiction. The Boltzmann distribution assumes that a
system is in thermal equilibrium, and the inverted system is not in thermal equilibrium. The
inversion cannot be maintained without adding energy to the system. If left to itself, the excited
states will decay and the inversion will not be maintained.
61. (a) Boron has Z 4, so the outermost electron has n 2. We use the Bohr result with an

electrons accomplish the shielding.

wavelengths are for the K line, which has n 2 and n 1. We assume that the shielding of the

Rydberg constant from Section 37-11.

probability distribution for the n = 2, l = 0 wave function, and
find the position at which that distribution has a maximum. We
see from Figure 39-8 that there will be two local maxima in the
probability distribution function, and the global maximum is at
approximately 5r0. The wave function is given in Eq. 39-8.

This is a cubic equation, which can be solved by numerical techniques. We first drew a graph, and
saw that two of the 0’s of the function were negative, and one was near m = 8. The only acceptable
results are for m > 0, and substitution verifies that m = 8 solves the equation. We use that result to
find Z.

U μBmlBz. We use this to calculate the energy spacing between adjacent ml values.

(b) As seen in Figure 39-4, the n 3, l 2 level will split n = 3, ¬ = 2 +2B
+B
into 5 levels, and the n 2, l 1 level will split into 3
levels. With no restrictions, there would be 15 0
different transitions possible. All transitions would
have the same n 1. Thus there are only three –B
unique wavelengths possible: the one corresponding to –2B
a transition with ml 1 (a slightly larger energy
change than in the B = 0 case), the one corresponding n = 2, ¬ = 1 +B
to a transition with ml 0 (the same energy change 0
as in the B = 0 case), and the one corresponding to a
m² ml = –1 0 +1 –B
transition with ml 1 (a slightly smaller energy
change than in the B = 0 case). See the diagram,
showing 9 possible transitions grouped into 3 actual energy changes. The value along the right
side is the change in energy level due to the magnetic field interaction.
(c) Eq. 37-15 gives the wavelength for hydrogen, considering only a change in principal quantum
number. The energies for those transitions is on the order of eV. The energy change due to the
magnetic field interaction is much smaller than that, so we can use an approximation, knowing
E from part (a). We obtain E from Eq. 37-14b.

CHAPTER 40: Molecules and Solids
Responses to Questions
1. (a) Covalent; (b) ionic; (c) metallic.
2. A neutral calcium atom has 20 electrons. Its outermost electrons are in the 4s2 state. The inner 18
electrons form a spherically symmetric distribution and partially shield the outer two electrons from
the nuclear charge. A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons; it lacks just one electron to have its
outer shell filled. A CaCl2 molecule could be formed when the outer two electrons of the calcium
atom are “shared” with two chlorine atoms. These electrons will be attracted by both the Ca and the
Cl nuclei and will spend part of their time between the Ca and Cl nuclei. The nuclei will be attracted
to this negatively charged area, forming a covalent bond. As is the case with other asymmetric
covalent bonds, this bond will have a partial ionic character as well. The two electrons will partly
orbit the Ca nucleus and partly orbit each of the two Cl nuclei. Since each Cl nucleus will now have
an extra electron part of the time, it will have a net negative charge. The Ca nucleus will “lose” two
electrons for part of the time, giving it a net positive charge.
3. No, neither the H2 nor the O2 molecule has a permanent dipole moment. The outer electrons are
shared equally between the two atoms in each molecule, so there are no polar ends that are more
positively or negatively charged. The H2O molecule does have a permanent dipole moment. The
electrons associated with the hydrogen atoms are pulled toward the oxygen atom, leaving each
hydrogen with a small net positive charge and the oxygen with a small net negative charge. Because
of the shape of the H2O molecule (see Figure 40-6), one end of the molecule will be positive and the
other end will be negative, resulting in a permanent dipole moment.
4. The molecule H3 has three electrons. According to the Pauli exclusion principle, no two of these
electrons can be in the same quantum state. Two of them will be 1s2 electrons and will form a
“closed shell” and a spherically symmetric distribution, and the third one will be outside this
distribution and unpaired. This third electron will be partially shielded from the nucleus and will thus
be easily “lost,” resulting in an unstable molecule. The ion H3+ only has two electrons. These 1s2
electrons will form a closed shell and a spherically symmetric distribution, resulting in a stable
configuration.
5. The energy of a molecule can be divided into four categories: translational kinetic energy, rotational
kinetic energy, vibrational kinetic energy, and electrostatic potential energy.
6. Yes. The electron will spend most of its time between the two nuclei. Both positive nuclei will be
attracted to this negative charge, forming a bond.
7. The carbon atom (Z = 6) usually forms four bonds because carbon requires four electrons to form a
closed 2p shell, and each hydrogen-like atom contributes one electron.
8. The last valence electron of a sodium atom is shielded from most of the sodium nuclear charge and
experiences a net nuclear charge of +1e. The outer shell of a chlorine atom is the 3p shell, which
contains five electrons. Due to shielding effects, the 3p electrons of chlorine experience a net nuclear
charge of +5e. In NaCl, the last valence electron of sodium is strongly bound to a chlorine nucleus.
This strong ionic bonding produces a large energy gap between the valence band and the conduction
band in NaCl, characteristic of a good insulator.

9. The conduction electrons are not strongly bound to particular nuclei, so a metal can be viewed as a
collection of positive ions and a negative electron “gas.” (The positive ions are just the metal atoms
without their outermost electrons, since these “free” electrons make up the gas.) The electrostatic
attraction between the freely-roaming electrons and the positive ions keeps the electrons from
leaving the metal.
10. As temperature increases, the thermal motion of ions in a metal lattice will increase. More electrons
will collide with the ions, increasing the resistivity of the metal. When the temperature of a
semiconductor increases, more electrons are able to move into the conduction band, making more
charge carriers available and therefore decreasing the resistivity. (Note: the thermal motion increases
in semiconductors as well, but the increase in the number of charge carriers is a larger effect.)
11. When the top branch of the input circuit is at the high voltage (current is flowing in this direction for
half the cycle), then the bottom branch of the output is at the high voltage. The current follows the
path through the bridge in the diagram on the left. When the bottom branch of the input circuit is at
the high voltage (current is flowing in this direction during the other half of the cycle), then the
bottom branch of the output is still at high voltage. The current follows the path through the bridge
in the diagram on the right.
12. In an ideal gas, it is possible for all of the gas particles to have the same energy. (The velocity
distribution of the particles in an ideal gas usually follows the Maxwell velocity distribution.) As the
temperature of the gas increases, the kinetic energy of the gas increases. In a Fermi electron gas,
only two electrons can have the same energy (Pauli exclusion principle). The electrons fill up the
energy states up to the Fermi level. As the temperature of the Fermi gas increases, only the electrons
in the top few levels can move to higher energy levels. The result is that the energy of the Fermi gas
is not strongly temperature dependent.
13. For an ideal pn junction diode connected in reverse bias, the holes and electrons that would normally
be near the junction are pulled apart by the reverse voltage, preventing current flow across the
junction. The resistance is essentially infinite. A real diode does allow a small amount of reverse
current to flow if the voltage is high enough, so the resistance in this case is very high but not
infinite. A pn junction diode connected in forward bias has a low resistance (the holes and electrons
are close together at the junction) and current flows easily.
14. The general shape of Figure 40-28 is the same for most metals. The scale of the graph (especially the
x-axis scale and the Fermi energy) is peculiar to copper and will change from metal to metal.
15. The base current (between the base and the emitter) controls the collector current (between the
collector and the emitter). If there is no base current, then no collector current flows. Thus,
controlling the relatively small base current allows the transistor to act as a switch, turning the larger
collector current on and off.

Chapter 40 Molecules and Solids
16. The main difference between n-type and p-type semiconductors is the sign on the charge carriers. In
an n-type semiconductor the charge carriers are negative electrons. In a p-type semiconductor, the
charge carriers are positive holes.
17. A transistor can be used as an amplifier because small changes in the base current can make much
larger changes in the collector current. (See Figure 40-43.) For a pnp transistor, both the collector
and the base voltages are negative, and holes move from the emitter to the collector. The diagram for
a pnp amplifier looks just like Figure 40-43, with the polarity of eB and eC reversed, IB and IC
flowing in opposite directions, and the emitter arrow pointing toward the base.
18. In Figure 40-43, the base–collector junction is reverse-biased and the base–emitter junction is
forward-biased.
19. The energy comes from the power supplied by the collector/emitter voltage source. The input signal
to the base just regulates how much current, and therefore power, can be drawn from the collector’s
voltage source.
20. The phosphorus atoms will be donor atoms. Phosphorus has five valence electrons. It will form four
covalent bonds with the silicon atoms around it, and will have one “extra” electron which is weakly
bound to the atom and can be easily excited up to the conduction band. This process results in extra
electrons in the conduction band. Silicon doped with phosphorus is therefore an n-type
semiconductor.
21. No. Ohmic devices (those that obey Ohm’s law) have a constant resistance and therefore a linear
relationship between voltage and current. The voltage-current relationship for diodes is not linear.
The resistance of a diode operated in reverse-bias is very large. The same diode operated in a
forward-bias mode has a much smaller resistance. Since a transistor can be thought of as made up of
diodes, it is also non-ohmic.
22. No. Single diodes can be used to rectify signals, but cannot amplify signals. The diode will allow
the signal to pass, if forward-biased, or not allow the signal to pass, if reverse-biased. Combinations
of diodes with additional power sources, as in a transistor, are able to amplify a signal.
23. Reversing the collector voltage would reverse the roles of the collector and emitter of the transistor.
Unless the base-emitter voltage is also reversed, the transistor cannot act as an amplifier.

2. From Problem 1, the “point electron” binding energy is 5.134 eV. With the repulsion of the electron
clouds included, the actual binding energy is 4.43 eV. Use these values to calculate the contribution
of the electron clouds.

3. We calculate the binding energy as the difference between the energy 0.66e
of two isolated hydrogen atoms and the energy of the bonded
combination of particles. We estimate the energy of the bonded p p
combination as the negative potential energy of the two electron- d
proton combinations, plus the positive potential energy of the proton-
proton combination. We approximate the electrons as a single object with a charge of 0.33 of the
normal charge of two electrons, since the electrons only spend that fraction of time between the
nuclei. A simple picture illustrating our bonded model is shown.

5. According to the problem statement, 5.39 eV of energy is required to make an Li ion from neutral
Li, and 3.41 eV of energy is released when an F atom becomes an F ion. That means that a net
energy input of 5.39 eV – 3.41 eV = 1.98 eV is needed to form the ions. We calculate the negative
potential energy of the attraction between the two ions.
U
1 e2 2.30 1028 J m 9.21eV
40 r 0.156 109 m 1.60 1019 J eV
The binding energy should therefore be 9.21 eV – 1.98 eV = 7.23 eV. But the actual binding energy
is only 5.95 eV. Thus the energy associated with the repulsion of the electron clouds is 7.23 eV –
5.95 eV = 1.28 eV.
6. We convert the units from kcal/mole to eV/molecule.
1 kcal 4186 J 1eV J 6.022 1mole 4.339 102 eV

Now convert 4.43 eV per molecule into kcal per mole.

7. (a) The neutral He atom has two electrons in the ground state, n 1, 0, m 0. Thus the two
electrons have opposite spins, ms 1 . If we try to form a covalent bond, we see that an
2
electron from one of the atoms will have the same quantum numbers as one of the electrons on
the other atom. From the exclusion principle, this is not allowed, so the electrons cannot be
shared.
(b) We consider the He molecular ion to be formed from a neutral He atom and an He ion. It
2
will have three electrons. If the electron on the ion has a certain spin value, it will have the
opposite spin as one of the electrons on the neutral atom. Thus those two electrons can be in the
same spatial region, and so a bond can be formed.

14. The energy change for transitions between combined rotational and vibrational states is given above
Eq. 40-8a.
E Evib Erot hf Erot
If E hf is to be in the spectrum, then Erot 0. But the selection rules state that l 1 for a
transition. It is not possible to have l 0 for a transition. The only way to have Erot 0 is for
l 0, which is forbidden. Thus E hf is not possible. Here is a mathematical statement as
well.
Erot E l l El l l l l 1 2 l l 1 2 l 2 l l 1 2

For Erot 0, mathematically we must have l 0, which is forbidden.

E1 5.38 E1 5.38
from the selection rule that l 1, we see that these three transitions must represent the l 1 to
l 0 transition, the l 2 to l 1 transition, and the l 3 to l 2 transition. Thus E1 2 I .
We use that relationship along with Eq. 40-4 to find the bond length.

37. We start with Eq. 38-13 for the energy level as a function of n. If we solve for n, we have the
number of levels with energies between 0 and E. Taking the differential of that expression will give
the number of levels with energies between E and dE. Finally, we multiply by 2 since there can be 2
electrons (with opposite spins) in each energy level.

39. (a) Eq. 38-13 gives the energy levels as a function of n, the number of levels. Since there are 2
electrons in every energy level, n = N / 2. The Fermi energy will be the highest energy level
occupied with N electrons.

For large N, this is a very small change in energy. Thus a very small change in energy will
allow an electron to change energy levels, and so the metal conducts very easily.

(c) Since the probability that the state is occupied is 0.991409, the probability that the state is
unoccupied is 1 0.991409 8.591103 8.6 103 . This is the same as part (a).
41. We consider the cube to be a three-dimensional infinite well, with a width of l in each dimension.
We apply the boundary conditions as in Section 38-8 separately to each dimension. Each dimension
gives a quantum number which we label as n1, n2, and n3. We then have a contribution to the
energy of the bound particle from each quantum number, as in Eq. 38-13.

Specifying the three quantum numbers gives a state and the corresponding energy.
Choosing axes as specified in the problem, the equation of a sphere of radius R in that coordinate
system is R2 n12 n22 n32. Each state “contained” in that sphere could be indicated by a cube of
side length 1, and each state can have two electrons (two spin states). The “volume” of that sphere is
1 of a full sphere. From that we calculate the number of states in one octant, and then g(E).

50. From the current-voltage characteristic graph in Figure 40-38, we see that a current of 12 mA means
a voltage of about 0.68 V across the diode. The battery voltage is the sum of the voltages across the
diode and the resistor.

This is the equation for a straight line which passes through
the points (0 V, 13.3 mA) and (0.8 V, 8 mA). The line has a
y-intercept of 13.3 mA and a slope of 6.67 mA/V. If we
assume the operating voltage of the diode is about 0.7 V, then
the current is about 8.6 mA. There is some approximation
involved in the answer.
52. We have copied the graph for V > 0 and rotated it so that it shows V as a function of I. This is the
first diagram below. The resistance is the slope of that first graph. The slope, and thus the
resistance, is very high for low currents, and decreases for larger currents, approaching 0. As an
approximate value, we see that the voltage changes from about 0.55 V to 0.65 V as the current goes
from 0 to 10 mA. That makes the resistance about 10 ohms when the current is about 5 mA. The
second diagram is a sketch of the resistance.

55. There will be a current in the resistor while the ac voltage varies from 0.6 V to 9.0 V rms. Because
the 0.6 V is small, the voltage across the resistor will be almost sinusoidal, so the rms voltage across
the resistor will be close to 9.0 V 0.6 V 8.4 V.
(a) For a half-wave rectifier without a capacitor, the current is zero for half the time. We ignore

(b) For a full-wave rectifier without a capacitor, the current is positive all the time. We ignore the

56. (a) The time constant for the circuit is 1 RC1 28 103 35 106 F 0.98s. As seen in
Figure 40-40(c), there are two peaks per cycle. The period of the rectified voltage is
T s1 0.0083s. Because 1 T , the voltage across the capacitor will be essentially
120
constant during a cycle, so the average voltage is the same as the peak voltage. The average
current is basically constant.

Now the period of the rectified voltage is about 3 time constants, and so the voltage will
decrease to about 5% e3 of the peak value during each half-cycle. We approximate the
voltage as dropping linearly from its peak value to 0 over each half-cycle, and so take the
average voltage as half the peak voltage.
