TUTORIAL 1
1. Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation:
2. An FM station broadcasts classical music at 93.5 MHz (or 106 Hz). Find the
wavelength (in m, nm, and Å) of these radio waves.
3. An x-ray has a wavelength of 1.3 Å. Calculate the energy (in J) of one photon of this
radiation.
5. How many orbitals can each of the following designations have in an atom:
7. The work function for metallic cesium is 3.43 x 10-19 J. Calculate the kinetic energy
and the speed of the electrons ejected by light of wavelength (a) 300 nm, (b) 700 nm.
8. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of (a) a mass of 1.0 g traveling at 1.0 cm s-1, (b)
the same, traveling at 100 km s-1. Also calculate the momentum of the mass in (a) and
(b).
9. A neutral element X has only 1 proton, but its first ionization energy (IE1) is much
greater than that of a neutral element Y, which has 3 protons. Explain.
11. Oxygen atoms are smaller than nitrogen atoms, yet oxygen has lower first ionization
energy than nitrogen. Explain.
12. Draw the counter-clockwise rotation of a XO3 molecule (trigonal planar in shape)
about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the molecule.
(a) C3
(b) C32
(c) C33
13. List all the 5 kinds of symmetry operations and write the respective symbol for each
operation.
