Atomic Spectra•If you “engergize” an atom in a variety of ways, it will give off light with characteristic wavelengths•What wavelengths you get are a characteristic of the atom
Diffraction Grating
•There were patterns in the wavelengths, but no one understood why
•Triplets were not uncommon
•Later, more lines were discovered

Rutherford Scattering•Radioactive decay produces alpha particles
•Charge +2e•Mass = Helium atom mass•7000+ times heavier than electron
•Expected it would deflect – slightly – when it went through an atom
•1909: Geiger and Marsden perform this experiment under the direction of Ernest Rutherford

What they found:•Alpha particles would deflect, occasionally, by large angles
•Even backwards•Rutherford concluded that the positive charge was concentrated in a tiny region called the nucleus

If you hit Gold (Au, Z = 79) with Ekin = 3.0 MeV -particles,1. How close do you have to get to be deflected by 90?2. What is the area of the target to be deflected by 90?
The fact that this formula worked told Rutherford the nucleus was smaller than this, smaller than 38 fm in radius . . .

How small is the nucleus?How small a nucleus can one see by this method?•You can’t see the nucleus until you get close enough•Closest you can come happens when you are headed straight for the nucleus

•Conservation of energy gives you the closest approach•Rutherford realized he needed higher energies and smaller Z
•He used Aluminim (Z = 13) with Ekin = 7.7 MeV

The atom and the Solar System
The Solar system•Sun’s mass is 1048 times Jupiter’s mass•Radius of Neptune’s orbit is 6500 times radius of Sun•Sun stays put and all planets orbit it
Atoms are about a = 0.1 nm in radius Nucleus is about R = 10 fm in radius
The hydrogen atom•Nuclear mass is 1836 times electron’s mass•Radius of atom is about 10,000 times radius of nucleus
Could the atom be like a mini-solar system?

Testing one of Bohr’s Hypotheses
E hf 2. When the electron changes its configuration, energy
is emitted in the form of a single photon of energy
•If the atom has only discrete energy levels, then there should be a minimum amount of energy that can be added to it•Anything that collides with it with less energy must collide elastically•When it does collide inelastically, the energy will be transmitted to the atom•The atom then has to release a photon to lose a level

Predictions:•When you hit the threshold of energy, scattering (energy loss) will suddenly increase•The target atoms will start to glow at threshold energy

Assessing the Bohr ModelThe Good:•Accurately predicted hydrogen line spectrum•Predicted isotopic and other effects•Did pretty well at predicting X-ray lines for heavier elements•Clear evidence that atoms had “levels” of energy•Evidence that quantum effects would help describe the atom
The Bad:•No idea how to proceed for heavier elements•“Strength” of spectral lines was not predicted
The Ugly:•Arbitrary and unmotivated assumptions
