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 many neutrons are present in a nucleus whose atomic number is one and whose mass number is one?
nekit [7.7K]

Because the proton has a mass of 1 and a neutron has a mass of 1, we know that there is exactly one proton in the nucleus (because of the atomic number) which therefore tells us there are no neutrons as adding one would make the mass more than one.

Which which atom is held together by covalent bonds?​
Sedaia [141]
Covalent bonds are strong bonds. Atoms that share pairs of electrons form molecules. A molecule is a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds. A diatomic molecule is a molecule containing only two atoms.

In the formula XSO4 the symbol X could represent the element
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: X could represent the element of oxidation state (+2) such as (Mg2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, ....etc)

Explanation:

  • The formula of the compound XSO4 is a neutral compound that the algebraic summation of the oxidation states of different elements in it must be zero.
  • The group SO4 has the oxidation state (2-), that S has (6+) oxidation state and O has (2-) oxidation state, so the oxidation of SO4 = (6+) + (-2*4) = -2.
  • It is clear that X must have the oxidation state 2+.
  • So, X could be represents by many different elements such as (Mg2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, ....etc)

The extent of crystal field splitting is often determined from spectra.(a) Given the wavelength (λ) of maximum absorption, find
kenny6666 [7]

Crystal field splitting is the difference in energy between d orbitals of ligands. Crystal field splitting number is denoted by the capital Greek letter Δ. Crystal field splitting explains the difference in color between two similar metal-ligand complexes.

<h3>What is crystal field splitting of d-orbitals?</h3>

The splitting of fivefold degenerate d orbitals of the metal ion into two levels in a tetrahedral crystal field is the representation of two sets of orbitals as Td. The electrons in dx2-y2 and dz2 orbitals are less repelled by the ligands than the electrons present in dxy, dyz, and dxz orbitals.

<h3>Which of the following factors affect crystal field splitting energy?</h3>

There are the following factors that affect the crystal field splitting. These are the nature of ligands, coordination number, arrangement of ligand, size of a metal atom, charge on the metal atom, size of ligands, electronegativity, and interatomic distance.
