Solution: When an electron makes a transition between energy
Chapter , Problem 35(choose chapter or problem)
When an electron makes a transition between energy levels of an atom, there are no restrictions on the initial and fi nal values of the principal quantum number n. According to quantum mechanics, however, there is a rule that restricts the initial and fi nal values of the orbital quantum number ,. This rule is called a selection rule and states that D, 5 61. In other words, when an electron makes a transition between energy levels, the value of , can only increase or decrease by one. The value of , may not remain the same nor may it increase or decrease by more than one. According to this rule, which of the following energy level transitions are allowed? (a) 2s B 1s (b) 2p B 1s (c) 4p B 2p (d) 4s B 2p (e) 3d B 3s
