What physical meaning is attributed to ψ², the square of the wave function?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The probability density (ψ2)

Explanation:

Indicates the probability of finding the electron in a certain region of space when it is squared ψ2.

This means that define2 defines the distribution of electronic density around the nucleus in three-dimensional space; a high density represents a high probability of locating the electron and vice versa.

The atomic orbital, can be considered as the electron wave function of an atom.

APPLICATIONS:

1.- Specify the possible energy states that the electron of the hydrogen atom can occupy and identify the corresponding wave functions medio, by means of a set of quantum numbers, with which an understandable model of the hydrogen atom can be constructed.

2.- It does not work for atoms that have more than one electron, but the problem is solved using approximation methods for polyelectronic atoms.

How does heat affect water and its state of matter
Kryger [21]

Answer:If a liquid is heated the particles are given more energy and move faster and faster expanding the liquid. The most energetic particles at the surface escape from the surface of the liquid as a vapour as it gets warmer. Liquids evaporate faster as they heat up and more particles have enough energy to break away.

yarga [219]

Answer:

E) are electrically attracted to each other

Explanation:

Water molecule is polar because there is a difference in electronegativity values between hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen side of the molecule has a slight positive charge and the oxygen side is slightly negatively.  

Positively and negatively charged ends cause water molecules to attract one another and for this reason water shows the properties mentioned in the question: cohesion, high specific heat, and high heat of vaporization.

How do you know the ph level of 10^-8
sergiy2304 [10]

pH=6.98

Explanation:

This is a very interesting question because it tests your understanding of what it means to have a dynamic equilibrium going on in solution.

As you know, pure water undergoes self-ionization to form hydronium ions, H3O+, and hydroxide anions, OH−.

2H2O(l]⇌H3O+(aq]+OH−(aq]→ very important!

At room temperature, the value of water's ionization constant, KW, is equal to 10−14. This means that you have

KW=[H3O+]⋅[OH−]=10−14

Since the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal for pure water, you will have

[H3O+]=√10−14=10−7M

The pH of pure water will thus be

pH=−log([H3O+])

pH=−log(10−7)=7

Now, let's assume that you're working with a 1.0-L solution of pure water and you add some 10
