TALLER 2 1. A cupronickel alloy consists of 70 wt % Cu and 30 wt % Ni. What are the atomic percentages of Cu and Ni in the alloy? 2.

In a commercial x-ray generator, a stable metal such as Cu or W is exposed to an intense beam of high-energy electrons. These electrons cause ionization events in the metal atoms. When the metal atoms regain their ground state they emit x-rays of characteristic energy and wavelength. For example, a M atom struck by a high-energy electron may lose one of its K shell electrons. When this happens, another electron, probably from the W L shell will fall into the vacant site in the K shell. If such a 2p 1s transition in W occurs, a W K x-ray is emitted. A W K x-ray has a wavelength of 0.2138 nm. What is its energy? What is its frequency? 3. Describe the four quantum numbers of an electron and give their allowed values. 4. Write the electron configuration of the following atoms by using spdf notation: (a) Cr; (b) Mo; (c) Se
