Re: example in class
Basically it is subscript x because since l=1, ml can = -1,0,1. Since they are specifying that ml=-1 that gives you the subscript x. If ml=0, the subscript would be y. If ml=1, the subscript would be z.

Re: Ionic Radii
Anions gained an electron, therefore the radius is larger than that of the parent atom. If an atom loses an electron, it is a cation, and has a smaller radius. Hope this helps! :)

Orbitals 1D.19
1D.19 How many orbitals are present in the (a) 4p-subshell; (b) 3d-subshell; (c) 1s-subshell; (d) 4f-subshell of an atom?

Orbitals
When n=6, why are the possible values for l = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6? I thought it would just be 0-5, since it's n-1? I am trying to answer all parts of this question: (a) How many values of the quantum number l are possible when n = 6? (b) How many values of ml are allowed for an electron in a 5f-subshell? ...

Orbitals / Quantum Numbers
How do we know that for orbital 6p for example, that the principle and angular momentum quantum numbers are n=6 and l = 1? I know that for l, the quantum numbers can be 0,1,2,3,4,5 right, but for orbital 6p, how is it just l=1?

Re: Using masses of protons, neutrons, and electrons
It seems that we would probably be given these values or they would be found on some sort of reference table. But it also would not be a bad idea to know their general values.

Re: Meaning of h [ENDORSED]
h represents Plank's constant. So when you graph E vs the frequency of light, the slope of that line is Planck's constant.

Re: Work Function
Work function is basically the energy required to remove an electron from the metal surface. If the energy of the photon is not greater than or equal to the energy to remove an electron (work function), then no electrons will be emitted.

Re: Energy of Photon = Work Function
Unless the E(Photon) is greater than or equal to the E(Energy to remove an electron), an electron will not be emitted even for HIGH INTENSITY light, which was quite unexpected in the photoelectric effect experiment. Light sources with long wavelength (low frequency) light does not eject electrons ev...

Re: Planck's constant
So when plotting the frequency of light vs Energy, the slope of that line produces the proportionality constant, or Planck's constant. Energy is proportional to hv.

Frequency is proportional to the Energy. So, as the frequency (Hz) increases, so does the Energy (J).

All stoichiometric coefficients must be the lowest whole number, and multiplying by 2 would give the lowest whole number coefficients for that equation!

You would get Avogadro's number, which is 6.022x10^23 atoms / mol then multiply by 288 ppm (which is the diameter), and then convert back to meters by dividing by 10^12 pm.

Re: 2 Limiting Reactants
I don't believe that there can be more than one limiting reactant. In a reaction, there is ONE limiting reaction and the others are in excess. Once the limiting reactant is used up, the reaction can no longer occur, because the amount of product being produced is limited.

How would I start this problem?
A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.500 g of KCl, 0.500 g of K2S, and 0.500 g of K3PO4 in 500. mL of water. What is the concentration in the final solution of (a) potassium ions; (b) sulfide ions?
