The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given electronic state of the He⁺ ion and determine which statements about it are true based on the provided energy, azimuthal quantum number (l), and magnetic quantum number (m). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Energy (E) = -3.4 eV - Azimuthal quantum number (l) = 2 - Magnetic quantum number (m) = 0 2. **Use the Energy Formula for Hydrogen-like Atoms:** The energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom is given by the formula: \[ E = -\frac{13.6 \, \text{eV} \cdot Z^2}{n^2} \] where Z is the atomic number and n is the principal quantum number. 3. **Determine the Principal Quantum Number (n):** For He⁺, Z = 2. We can rearrange the formula to find n: \[ -3.4 = -\frac{13.6 \cdot 2^2}{n^2} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 3.4 = \frac{54.4}{n^2} \] \[ n^2 = \frac{54.4}{3.4} = 16 \] \[ n = 4 \] 4. **Determine the Orbital Type:** The azimuthal quantum number l = 2 corresponds to the d subshell. Since n = 4 and l = 2, this means the electron is in the 4d state. 5. **Calculate the Number of Angular Nodes:** The number of angular nodes is equal to the azimuthal quantum number (l): \[ \text{Number of angular nodes} = l = 2 \] 6. **Calculate the Number of Radial Nodes:** The number of radial nodes can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Number of radial nodes} = n - l - 1 = 4 - 2 - 1 = 1 \] 7. **Assess the Nuclear Charge Experienced by the Electron:** In the case of He⁺, there is only one electron, and it experiences the full nuclear charge of +2e without any shielding effects from other electrons. Therefore, the nuclear charge experienced is equal to the atomic number Z = 2. ### Conclusion: Based on the calculations: - The azimuthal quantum number indicates that the state belongs to the d subshell. - The number of angular nodes is 2. - The number of radial nodes is 1. - The nuclear charge experienced by the electron is equal to 2e. ### True Statements: - The state belongs to the 4d subshell (True). - The number of angular nodes is 2 (True). - The nuclear charge experienced is equal to 2e (True). ### Final Answer: The true statements are: - The state belongs to the 4d subshell. - The number of angular nodes is 2.
