Pre-Lab Questions to Lab 6 - Atomic Structure and Atomic Spectra

  1. How would you justify the layout of the first three rows of the periodic table based upon the information supplied in the description of this lab?

  2. Determine the spectroscopic notation for the ground states of H, He, Li, Be, Na, K, Rb and Cs.

  3. Construct a complete energy level diagram for the H-atom based upon Bohr's explanation of the H-atom only.

  4. Construct an energy level diagram up through n = 3 for the H-atom, based upon the results of application of Schrödinger's equation to the problem of the H-atom. Determine all possible transitions between allowed levels in the H-atom that give rise to H-alpha radiation.
