PLEASE REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR ID: NAME: Clayton Bishop 1. The radial momentum operator in spherical coordinates is \( \hat{p}_{r}=-i \hbar\left(\frac{\partial}{\partial r}+\frac{1}{r}\right) \). Find the value of \( (\Delta r)\left(\Delta p_{r}\right) \) in the ground state of the hydrogen atom. [4 points]

Step 1
The ground state wave function for the hydrogen atom is given by: \[ \psi_{100}(r) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi a_0^3}} e^{-r/a_0} \] where \( a_0 \) is the Bohr radius. Show more…

An elementary theorem in statistics states that the root-mean-square uncertainty in a quantity $r$ is given by $\Delta r=\sqrt{\left\langle r^{2}\right\rangle-\langle r\rangle^{2}}$ . Determine the uncertainty in the radial position of the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom. Use the average value of $r$ found in Example $42.3 :\langle r\rangle= 3 a_{0} / 2$ . The average value of the squared dis- tance between the electron and the proton is given by $\left\langle r^{2}\right\rangle=\int_{\text { all space }}|\psi|^{2} r^{2} d V=\int_{0}^{\infty} P(r) r^{2} d r$ all space
Examine the radial factor, R(r), and the 95% probability surface below for a particular orbital of the hydrogen atom. What is the correct orbital designation for this orbital? R(r) Enter the appropriate n value: Select the appropriate subshell and orientation: s, px, py, pz, dxy, dxz, dyz, dx2-y2, dz2
