Guest locket Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Does anyone know how to work out how many quantum states a hydrogen-like Boron ion has ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 What´s a hydrogen-like Boron ion? An ion with only one electron around the core? What do you consider a quantum state? Only looking at the state of the electron and ignoring the quantum state of the core, maybe even treatening it as a positive point-charge? If 2 x "yes": Without even looking at the equation I´d say you can safely assume there are as many possible states as in a hydrogen atom: Infinite. if 3+ x "yes" ... you did something wrong Or if you want a more pedantic answer: Each object has/is in exactly one quantum state ... one out of all those that are possible.
