Chemistry 455A, Spring 2008 Reinhardt and Stanich Assignments and Problem Sets 23,24 for the week of May 26 th , 2008 Continue with assignment 22: Read Sections 7.5, 7.7, 7.9, then Skip to CH 9 Sections 9.4, 9.5 and 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12…this latter will be finished up next week. AND, now add Ch 10, Sections 10.1,10.2,10.4, (skim these lightly), we will be focusing more on CH 11 “the qualitative theory” of the chemical bond, which will finish up the course. Start CH 11, reading the intro and sections 11.1-11.3 Problem Set 23/24 will be a combined set (worth 20 points) that will be due on FRIDAY, May 30 th , in Reinhardt’s Mail Box by 5:30pm. The reason for this is that I think everyone will find the detailed discussion of “problem solving methodology” in the Thursday tutorial to be of great value in solving the following problems, especially those in part B: A) work problems 9-46,47,48,49,50,51,52 some of these are very short! in McQ. B) Now, a bit harder, and more detailed! Derive the possible term symbols (i.e. the actual atomic energy levels and their names) for the configurations: i) 2s2 2p13p1. ii) 2s22p2 . iii) why is there such a dramatic difference between the results of parts Bi) and Bii)? iv) Derive the possible terms (e.g the possible atomic electronic states) which arise from the configuration 2s 2 2p 3 . v) Derive the possible terms (e.g the possible atomic electronic states) which arise from the configuration 2s 2 2p 4 . vi) How do the terms of part Bv) related to those of Bii)?
