I don't know how exaclty to how to do the first part of the problem, but I do know how to find the electron configuration. (See attached file for full problem description) --- 1. a) Find the number of available states for each possible angular momentum, l, in the M-shell (n = 3). b) Find the complete electron configu ...continues
2. a) The Kα line in the X-ray spectrum from Platinum metal is found to have a wavelength of 0.0205 nm. Calculate the atomic number of Platinum. b) Estimate the Kα line X-ray wavelength for gold.
(See attached file for full problem description) --- Atoms of lithium are able to absorb photons of frequency 2.01 x 1014 Hz. This corresponds to a transition state from the ground state (at -5.37 ev) to an excited state. Zero energy corresponds to the state in which one electron is completely removed from the atom. (Use ...continues
I've attached a word document of the problem. I just don't know how to do what it's asking me. --- 4. Calculate the average binding energy per nucleon of the following nuclei. (a) 73Li MeV/nucleon (b) 13856Ba MeV/nucleon I have no idea how to calculate the binding energy for an atom. I looked at the examples in ...continues
Radioactivity; Activity and Half-life
3. The half-life of iodine-131, an isotope used in the treatment of thyroid disorders, is 8.04 d. (a) If a sample of iodine-131 contains 5.0 1016 nuclei, what is the activity of the sample? Express your answer in curies. (b) If the half-life of iodine-131 were only one-fifth of its actual value, calculate the factor by wh ...continues
7. Consider a fusion reaction in which a proton fuses with a neutron to form a deuterium nucleus. How much energy is released in this reaction in MeV?
I'm completely stuck on this problem: i) Determine the energy required to remove a proton from a 12C nucleus (in MeV) - For this one, I know that this is not alpha, beta, or gamma decay, so I don't know how I'm supposed to do it. And this one, ii) 2H and 3H nuclei undergo the following fission reaction: 2H + 3H --> 4He ...continues
