Problema 1. (7.1 Electron Spin)

A beam of electrons enters a uniform 1.20-T magnetic field. (a) Find the energy
difference between electrons whose spins are parallel and antiparallel to the field.
(b) Find the wavelength of the radiation that can cause the electrons whose spins
are parallel to the field to flip so that their spins are antiparallel.

Problema 6. (7.2 Exclusion Principle, 7.3 Symmetric and Antisymmetric Wave

Functions)
A one-dimensional potential well like those of Secs. 3.6 and 5.8 has a width of 1.00
nm and contains 10 electrons. The system of electrons has the minimum total
energy possible. What is the least energy, in eV, a photon must have in order to
excite a ground-state (n = 1) electron in this system to the lowest higher state it
can occupy?

Problema 13. (7.4 Periodic Table, 7.5 Atomic Structures and 7.6 Explaining the
Periodic Table)
The ionization energies of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs are, respectively, 5.4, 5.1, 4.3, 4.2,
and 3.9 eV. All are in group 1 of the periodic table. Account for the decrease in
ionization energy with increasing atomic number.

Problema 21. (7.4 Periodic Table, 7.5 Atomic Structures and 7.6 Explaining the
Periodic Table)
Why is the normal Zeeman effect observed only in atoms with an even number of
electrons?
Problema 29. (7.8 Total Angular Momentum)
The lithium atom has one 2s electron outside a filled inner shell. Its ground state is
