CHEM 132B Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Wave Function, Spherical Harmonics, Momentum Operator
Document Summary
Consider the 2pz orbital shown in the image above. Indicate whether the fol- lowing statements are true or false. (4 points each: the electron is located on either side of the nodal plane, and not on both sides simultaneously. False: there is a nonzero chance of nding the electron outside of the shaded volume. True: the sign reversal along z corresponds to a spin ip of the electron. False: it is less likely to nd the electron on the side with negative amplitude than on the side with positive amplitude. Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. (4 points each: if the spin state is symmetric, then the orbital wavefunction must be anti- symmetric. True: if the spin state is in a singlet state, then the orbital wavefunction is symmetric. True: if the spin state is in a triplet state, then the electrons must occupy di erent orbital wavefunctions.
