A green laser pointer has a power of 5.0 mW (1 mW = 10⁻³ J/s) and emits 532 nm light. How many photons does it emit per second? (h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s, c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)
× 10photonsExplanationOne photon carries E = hc/λ = ÷ () = J. The laser emits J each second, so photons per second = ÷ = . The power has only 2 significant figures.

Using the Bohr model (), how many kilojoules are needed to ionize 1 mol of hydrogen atoms that are all in the n = 2 level? ( mol⁻¹)
kJExplanationIonizing means moving the electron to n = ∞ (E = 0). One atom needs 0 − = = J. One mole needs × = 3.28 × 105 J = 328 kJ, a quarter of the energy to ionize from the ground state (about 1312 kJ/mol).

Which of these hydrogen transitions emits light of the longest wavelength?
Explanationλ = hc/ΔE, so the smallest energy gap gives the longest wavelength. The levels crowd together higher up, so 4 → 3 has the smallest gap. Calculated: 2 → 1: 122 nm, 3 → 1: 103 nm, 4 → 2: 486 nm, 4 → 3: 1876 nm. The 4 → 3 line is in the infrared.

Which electron configuration represents an atom in an excited state?
Explanation1s²2s¹2p¹ has 4 electrons, so it is Be. Ground-state Be is 1s²2s²; here one electron sits in the higher-energy 2p while 2s is not full, so this is an excited state. The other three are the ground states of N, Al, and K.

How many unpaired electrons does a ion have? (Ni is element 28.)
electronsExplanationNi is [Ar]4s²3d⁸. Cations lose the outer 4s electrons first, not 3d: is [Ar]3d⁸. Put 8 electrons into five 3d orbitals: one in each (5), then 3 more pair up, leaving 5 − 3 = 2 unpaired.

Which element has the ground-state configuration [Kr]5s²4d¹⁰5p³?
ExplanationValence 5s²5p³ means period 5, group 15 (with N, P, and As): Sb, element 51. Count: 36 + 2 + 10 + 3 = 51. As is in period 4 ([Ar]4s²3d¹⁰4p³), Bi is in period 6, and Sn has only 2 electrons in 5p.
- 7Multiple choice
Which orbital diagram correctly shows the 2p sublevel of a ground-state carbon atom?
ExplanationCarbon has 2 electrons in 2p. Hund’s rule: electrons spread out into separate orbitals with parallel spins, giving [↑][↑][ ]. B crowds both into one orbital and C gives them opposite spins, both violating Hund’s rule; D puts two same-spin electrons in one orbital, violating the Pauli principle.

A ground-state hydrogen atom absorbs a 97.2 nm photon. To which level (n = ?) does the electron jump? (, h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s, c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)
ExplanationThe photon carries E = hc/λ = ÷ () = J, which equals : = . So = 0.938, ≈ 16.2, and n = 4.

Which ion has the configuration [Ar]3d⁶?
ExplanationTransition metals lose their 4s electrons first. [Ar]3d⁶, [Ar]3d⁵, [Ar]3d³, [Ar]3d¹⁰. Only (Fe is [Ar]4s²3d⁶; remove both 4s electrons) is [Ar]3d⁶.

How many electrons in a selenium atom (Se, element 34) are in p orbitals?
electronsExplanationSe is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁴. The p electrons are in 2p (6), 3p (6), and 4p (4), for 16 in all. Counting only the outer 4p misses the inner p electrons.
