The correct Answer is:
To find the relation between \( r_0 \) and \( a_0 \) for the given wave function of the \( 3s \) electron, we start by analyzing the wave function: \[ \Psi_{3s} = \frac{1}{81\sqrt{3}} \left( \frac{1}{a_0} \right)^{3/2} \left[ 27 - 18\left(\frac{r}{a_0}\right) + 2\left(\frac{r}{a_0}\right)^2 \right] e^{-\frac{r}{3a_0}} \] ### Step 1: Identify the condition for a node At a node, the wave function \( \Psi \) is equal to zero. Therefore, we set the polynomial part of the wave function to zero: \[ 27 - 18\left(\frac{r}{a_0}\right) + 2\left(\frac{r}{a_0}\right)^2 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Substitute \( x = \frac{r}{a_0} \) Let \( x = \frac{r}{a_0} \). Then, the equation becomes: \[ 27 - 18x + 2x^2 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the equation Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ 2x^2 - 18x + 27 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Apply the quadratic formula We can solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Where \( a = 2 \), \( b = -18 \), and \( c = 27 \). Plugging in these values: \[ x = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{(-18)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 27}}{2 \cdot 2} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the discriminant Calculating the discriminant: \[ (-18)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 27 = 324 - 216 = 108 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) Now substituting back into the formula: \[ x = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{108}}{4} \] Calculating \( \sqrt{108} = 10.39 \) (approximately): \[ x = \frac{18 \pm 10.39}{4} \] This gives us two possible values for \( x \): 1. \( x_1 = \frac{28.39}{4} = 7.0975 \) 2. \( x_2 = \frac{7.61}{4} = 1.9025 \) ### Step 7: Relate back to \( r_0 \) Recalling that \( x = \frac{r_0}{a_0} \), we can express \( r_0 \) in terms of \( a_0 \): 1. For \( x_1 \): \[ r_0 = 7.0975 a_0 \] 2. For \( x_2 \): \[ r_0 = 1.9025 a_0 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the relation between \( r_0 \) and \( a_0 \) can be expressed as: \[ r_0 = \left( \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{108}}{4} \right) a_0 \]

To find the relation between \( r_0 \) and \( a_0 \) for the given wave function of the \( 3s \) electron, we start by analyzing the wave function: \[ \Psi_{3s} = \frac{1}{81\sqrt{3}} \left( \frac{1}{a_0} \right)^{3/2} \left[ 27 - 18\left(\frac{r}{a_0}\right) + 2\left(\frac{r}{a_0}\right)^2 \right] e^{-\frac{r}{3a_0}} \] ### Step 1: Identify the condition for a node At a node, the wave function \( \Psi \) is equal to zero. Therefore, we set the polynomial part of the wave function to zero: ...
