THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

Atoms of a solid oscillate of vibrate with adefinite frequencyE = h E = hc / h = Planck’s constant, 6.626 x 10-34 J sE = energy1 J = 1 kg m2/s2

When a photon hits the metal, it’s energy (h) is

taken up by the electron. The photon no longerexists as a particle and it is said to be absorbed

9

QUANTUM EFFECTS & PHOTONS

Max Planck (1858–1947): proposed the energy is only emitted in discrete packets called quanta (now called photons).

The amount of energy depends on the frequency:

E = energy = frequency = wavelength c = speed of light h = planck’s constant

10

E h

hc h 6.626 10 34J s


Albert Einstein (1879–1955):

Used the idea of quanta to explain the photoelectric effect.

He proposed that light behaves as a stream of particles called photons

A photon’s energy must exceed a minimum threshold for electrons to be ejected.

Energy of a photon depends only on the frequency.

E = h

11

THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT:

The ejection of electrons from the surface of a metal or from a material when light shines on it

= c = 3.00 x 108 m/s = 4.47 x 1014 s-1

6.71 x 10-7 m

E = h = 6.63 x 10-34 J.s * 4.47 x 1014 s-1 = 2.96 x 10-19 J

EXERCISE 7.3 : The following are representative wavelengths in the infrared, ultraviolet and x-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, respectively:1.0 x 10-6 m, 1.0 x 10-8 m and 1.0 x 10-10 m.

• What is the energy of a photon of each

radiation?

• Which has the greatest amount of energy

per photon?

• Which has the least?


Atomic spectra: Result from excited atoms emitting light.

BOHR’S POSTULATE•The stability of the atom (H2)•The line spectrum of the atom

ENERGY-LEVEL POSTULATE: An electron can only have specific energy level values in an atom called ENERGY LEVELS E = RH where n = 1, 2, 3 n2

RH = 2.179 x 10-18 J

n = principle quantum number

16


BOHR’S POSTULATE•The stability of the atom (H2)•The line spectrum of the atom

TRANSITIONS BETWEEN ENERGY LEVELS: An electron in an atom can change energy only by going from one energy level to another energy level. By doing so, the electron undergoes a transition.

An electron goes from a higher energy level (Ei) to a lower energy level (Ef) emitting light:

-E = -(Ef - Ei)E = Ei - Ef

QUANTUM MECHANICS

QUANTUM MECHANICS ( WAVE MECHANICS):The branch of physics that mathematically describes the wave properties of submicroscopic particles

UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE:A relation that states that the product of the uncertainty in position and the uncertainty in momentum (mass times speed) of a particle can be no smaller than Planck’s constant divided by 4.

SCHRODINGER’S EQUATION:gives the probability of finding the particle within a region of space

Quantum Mechanics

Niels Bohr (1885–1962): Described

atom as electrons circling around a

nucleus and concluded that electrons

have specific energy levels.

Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961):

Proposed quantum mechanical model of

atom, which focuses on wavelike

properties of electrons.

27

Quantum Mechanics

Werner Heisenberg (1901–1976):

Showed that it is impossible to know (or

measure) precisely both the position and

velocity (or the momentum) at the same

time.

The simple act of “seeing” an electron

would change its energy and therefore its

position.

28

Quantum Mechanics

Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961):

Developed a compromise which

calculates both the energy of an electron

and the probability of finding an electron

at any point in the molecule.

This is accomplished by solving the

Schrödinger equation, resulting in the

wave function

QUANTUM NUMBERS

According to QUANTUM MECHANICS:Each electron in an atom is described by 4 different quantum numbers: (n, l, m1 and ms).The first 3 specify the wave function that gives the probability of finding the electron at various points in space. The 4th (ms) refers to a magnetic property of electrons called spin

ATOMIC ORBITAL: A wave function for an electron in an atom

Quantum Numbers

Wave functions describe the behavior of

electrons.

Each wave function contains four variables

called quantum numbers:

• Principal Quantum Number (n)

• Angular-Momentum Quantum Number (l)

• Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)

• Spin Quantum Number (ms)31

32

QUANTUM NUMBERS

PRINCIPLE QUANTUM NUMBERS (n):This quantum number is the one on which the energy of the electron in an atom principally depends; it can have any positive value (1, 2, 3 etc..)

•The smaller n, the lower the energy.

•The size of an orbital depends on n; the

larger the value of n, the larger the orbital.

•Orbitals of the same quantum number

(n) belong to the same shell which have the following letters:

Letter: K L M N n: 1 2 3 4

Quantum Numbers

ANGULAR MOMENTUM QUANTUM NUMBER (l): Defines the three-dimensional shape of the orbital.

For an orbital of principal quantum number n, the value of l can have an integer value from

0 to n – 1.

This gives the subshell notation:

Letter: s p d f g

l: 0 1 2 3 433

Quantum Numbers

Magnetic Quantum Number (ml): Defines the spatial orientation of the orbital.

For orbital of angular-momentum quantum number, l, the value of ml has integer values from –l to +l.

This gives a spatial orientation of:

l = 0 giving ml = 0

l = 1 giving ml = –1, 0, +1

l = 2 giving ml = –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, and so

on…...

a)n = 1, l = 1, ml = 0, ms = +1/2NOT permissible: The l quantum number is equal to n.IT must be less than n.

b) n = 3, l = 1, ml = -2, ms = -1/2NOT permissible: The magnitude of the ml quantumnumber (that is the ml value, ignoring it’s sign) must begreater than l.

40

EXERCISE 7.7 : Explain why each of the following sets of quantum numbers is not permissible for an orbital:

a) n = 0, l = 1, ml = 0, ms = +1/2

c) n = 3, l = 2, ml = +3, ms = +1/2

d) n = 3, l = 2, ml = +2, ms = 0

Electron Radial Distribution

s Orbital Shapes: Holds 2 electrons

41


p Orbital Shapes: Holds 6 electrons, degenerate

42


d and f Orbital Shapes: d holds 10 electrons and f holds 14 electrons, degenerate

43

Effective Nuclear Charge

Electron shielding leads to energy differences among orbitals within a shell.

Net nuclear charge felt by an electron is called the effective nuclear charge (Zeff).

Zeff is lower than actual nuclear charge.

Zeff increases toward nucleus
