The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are true for the electronic state \( \Psi \) of \( \text{He}^+ \) with the given energy, azimuthal quantum number, and magnetic quantum number, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Energy of the Electron in a Hydrogen-like Atom The energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom is given by the formula: \[ E_n = -\frac{13.6 Z^2}{n^2} \text{ eV} \] where \( Z \) is the atomic number and \( n \) is the principal quantum number. ### Step 2: Identify the Atomic Number and Energy For \( \text{He}^+ \), the atomic number \( Z = 2 \). The given energy of the state \( \Psi \) is \( -3.4 \text{ eV} \). ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation Substituting the values into the energy formula: \[ -3.4 = -\frac{13.6 \times 2^2}{n^2} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( n^2 \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 3.4 = \frac{54.4}{n^2} \] Multiplying both sides by \( n^2 \) and rearranging: \[ 3.4 n^2 = 54.4 \] \[ n^2 = \frac{54.4}{3.4} = 16 \] Thus, \( n = 4 \). ### Step 5: Determine the Azimuthal Quantum Number The azimuthal quantum number \( l \) is given as 2. For \( l = 2 \), the corresponding subshell is \( d \). ### Step 6: Identify the State Since \( n = 4 \) and \( l = 2 \), the state is referred to as \( 4d \). ### Step 7: Calculate the Number of Radial and Angular Nodes - **Radial Nodes**: The formula for radial nodes is given by \( n - l - 1 \): \[ \text{Radial Nodes} = 4 - 2 - 1 = 1 \] - **Angular Nodes**: The number of angular nodes is equal to \( l \): \[ \text{Angular Nodes} = l = 2 \] ### Step 8: Analyze the Nuclear Charge For \( \text{He}^+ \), there is only one electron, so the effective nuclear charge experienced by the electron is equal to the actual nuclear charge, which is \( 2e \). There is no shielding effect since there are no other electrons. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: 1. The state \( \Psi \) is indeed a \( 4d \) state. 2. The nuclear charge experienced by the electron is equal to \( 2e \), not less than \( 2e \). 3. The number of radial nodes is 1 and the number of angular nodes is 2. ### True Statements - The state \( \Psi \) is a \( 4d \) state. - The nuclear charge is equal to \( 2e \). - The number of radial nodes is 1. - The number of angular nodes is 2.
