JEE Advanced 2019 · Paper 2, Chemistry question 4

The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is −13.6 eV. Consider an electronic state Ψ\Psi of HeX+\ce{He+} whose energy, azimuthal quantum number and magnetic quantum number are −3.4 eV, 2 and 0, respectively. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true for the state Ψ\Psi?

Choose one or more options
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A, B

Find n. For HeX+\ce{He+},
En=−13.6Z2n2=−54.4n2=−3.4  ⟹  n=4.E_n=-13.6\frac{Z^2}{n^2}=-\frac{54.4}{n^2}=-3.4\implies n=4.
With l=2l=2 this is a 4d4d state.

The statements.

  • (A) It is a 4d4d state. True.
  • (B) It has l=2l=2 angular nodes. True.
  • (C) It has n−l−1=1n-l-1=1 radial node, not 3. False.
  • (D) With a single electron there is no shielding, so the electron feels the full 2e2e. False.

(A), (B)
