Document Summary
2. 178 10-18 j: z = nuclear charge = # protons. Elements must be in hydrogen like environment meaning 1 electron (he+ z=2, Li2+ z=3: n = quantum number, calculate the energy of e- in h at the ground state: " = 2. 178 10123 2: = 2. 178 10123 j. Answer is negative because the atoms energy only reaches zero (e=0) when n= , when n is a small number answer is less than 0. "abaecd: for hydrogen transition from ni = 5 to nf =2. This is different than finding the electron energy at a given quantum number as we are looking for the energy difference, so infinity does not turn the answer to 0. Matter and energy are alternative forms of the same entity : einstein: energy has mass, de broglie stated that matter behaves as though it moves in a wave in 1924.
