When metallic sodium is dissolved in liquid sodium chloride, electrons are released into the liquid. These dissolved electrons absorb light with a wavelength near 800. nm. Suppose we treat the positive ions surrounding an electron crudely as defining a three-dimensional cubic box of edge , and we assume that the absorbed light excites the electron from its ground state to the first excited state. Calculate the edge length in this simple model.

The edge of the length is $\mathbf{L = 8.54 \times 10^{-10} \ m}$

Explanation:

From the given information:

The associated energy for a particle in three - dimensional box can be expressed as:

$E_n = \dfrac{h^2}{8mL^2}(n_x^2+n_y^2+n_z^2)$

here;

h = planck's constant = $6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ Js$

n_i = the quantum no in a specified direction

m = mass (of particle)

L = length of the box

At the ground state n_x = n_y = n_z=1

The energy at the ground state can be calculated by using the formula:

$E_1 =\dfrac{3h^2}{8mL^2}$

At first excited energy level, one of the quantum values will be 2 and the others will be 1.

Thus, the first excited energy will be: 2,1,1

∴

$E_2 =\dfrac{(2^2+1^2+1^2)h^2}{8mL^2}$

$E_2 =\dfrac{(4+1+1)h^2}{8mL^2}$

$E_2 =\dfrac{(6)h^2}{8mL^2}$

The transition energy needed to move from the ground to the excited state is:

$\Delta E= E_2 - E_1$

$\Delta E= \dfrac{6h^2}{8mL^2}- \dfrac{3h^2}{8mL^2}$

$\Delta E= \dfrac{3h^2}{8mL^2}}$ ----- (1)

Recall that:

the wavelength identified with the electronic transition is: 800 nm

800 nm = 8.0 × 10⁻⁷ m

However, the energy-related with the electronic transition is:

$\Delta E =\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$\Delta E =\dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 2.99 \times 10^8}{8.0 \times 10^{-7} }$

$\Delta E =2.48 \times 10^{-19} \ J$

Replacing the value of $\Delta E$ in (1); then:

$2.48 \times 10^{-19}= \dfrac{3h^2}{8mL^2}}$

Making the edge length L the subject of the formula; we have:

$L = \sqrt{\dfrac{3h^2}{8m \times2.48 \times 10^{-19}} }$

$L = \sqrt{\dfrac{3\times (6.626 \times 10^{-34})^2}{8(9.1 \times 10^{-31} ) \times2.48 \times 10^{-19}} }$

$\mathbf{L = 8.54 \times 10^{-10} \ m}$

Thus, the edge of the length is $\mathbf{L = 8.54 \times 10^{-10} \ m}$

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
