Answer to Question #247096 in Physics for Reena Biswas

Question

The wave function of the hydrogen atom in its ground state (1s) is ψ=(πa03)−12exp(−ra0 where a0=0.529×10−8 cm. The charge density is ρ(x,y,z)=−e|ψ|2, according to the statistical interpretation of the wave function.

applying Hund's rule, the ground state of Yb+3 and Tb+3 is:

a, 2F7/2 and 7F6

b, 2F5/2 and 7F5/2

c, 2F6 and 7F6

d, 2F7/2 and 7F3/2

Answer 1

The ground state of Yb+3 and Tb+3 is given by $2\text F_{7/2}$ and $7\text F_6$.
