You are working on determining the angle that separates two hybridized
orbitals. In the process of determining the coefficients in front of the various
atomic orbitals, you align the first one along the z-axis and the second in the
x/z-plane (so o = 0). The second hybridized orbital was determined to be:
W2 = R1s + R2p, sin 0 + R2p, cos 0
Determine the angle, 0, in degrees to one decimal place (XX.X) that separates
these two orbitals. Assume that the angle will be between 0 and 90 degrees.
In a deuterium nucleus, the proton and neutron spins can be
either parallel or antiparallel. What are the possible values of
the total spin of the deuterium nucleus? (It is not necessary
to consider any orbital angular momentum.) The magnetic
dipole moment of the deuterium nucleus is measured to be
nonzero. Which of the possible spins is eliminated by this
measured value?
Consider a simple model of the helium atom in which two electrons, each with mass m, move around the nucleus (charge +2e) in the same circular orbit. Each electron has orbital angular momentum U (that is, the orbit is the smallest-radius Bohr orbit), and the two electrons are always on opposite sides of the nucleus. Ignore the effects of spin. What is the total kinetic energy of the electrons?
