Spectral Lines
Spectroscope: splits light into component colors

Spectral Lines
Emission lines: single frequencies emitted by particular atoms

Spectral LinesEmission spectrum can be used to identify elements:

Spectral Lines
Absorption spectrum: if a continuous spectrum passes through a cool gas, atoms of the gas will absorb the same frequencies they emit
![Page 7: Spectroscopy and Atomic Structure. Introduction Spectral Lines The Formation of Spectral Lines The Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom The Photoelectric](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dd05503460f94ac63cc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Spectral Lines
An absorption spectrum can also be used to identify elements. These are the emission and absorption spectra of sodium:

Spectral Lines
Kirchhoff’s laws:
1. Luminous solid, liquid, or dense gas produces continuous spectrum
2. Low-density hot gas produces emission spectrum
3. Continuous spectrum incident on cool, thin gas produces absorption spectrum

Formation of Spectral LinesExistence of spectral lines required new model of atom, so that only certain amounts of energy could be emitted or absorbed.
Bohr model had certain allowed orbits for electron:
![Page 11: Spectroscopy and Atomic Structure. Introduction Spectral Lines The Formation of Spectral Lines The Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom The Photoelectric](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dd05503460f94ac63cc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Quantized Energy
• Continuous energy is like a ramp.
• Quantized energy is like a stair case.
• Each stair increases the energy by the value of Planck’s constant
• h = 6.63x10-34 J-s• E = hf
![Page 12: Spectroscopy and Atomic Structure. Introduction Spectral Lines The Formation of Spectral Lines The Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom The Photoelectric](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dd05503460f94ac63cc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Neil Bohr’s Model of Hydrogen(1913)
• Solves problem of why electrons do not fall into nucleus.
• Used quantized orbits with specific energies.
• Electron can only move between orbits by getting or losing the exact amount of energy required.
• It could not take fractional steps.
![Page 13: Spectroscopy and Atomic Structure. Introduction Spectral Lines The Formation of Spectral Lines The Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom The Photoelectric](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dd05503460f94ac63cc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Absorption & Emission Spectra
• Bohr’s model also explained Kirchhoff’s Laws of Spectroscopy.
• Emission spectra produced when electron releases energy and drops to a lower orbit.
• Absorption spectra produced when electron absorbed energy needed to go to a higher orbit.

Energy levels of the hydrogen atom, showing two series of emission lines:

Formation of Spectral Lines
Emission energies correspond to energy differences between allowed levels.
Modern model has electron “cloud” rather than orbit:
![Page 16: Spectroscopy and Atomic Structure. Introduction Spectral Lines The Formation of Spectral Lines The Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom The Photoelectric](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dd05503460f94ac63cc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Formation of Spectral Lines
The photoelectric effect:
• When light shines on metal, electrons can be emitted
• Frequency must be higher than minimum, characteristic of material
• Increased frequency – more energetic electrons
• Increased intensity – more electrons, same energy
![Page 17: Spectroscopy and Atomic Structure. Introduction Spectral Lines The Formation of Spectral Lines The Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom The Photoelectric](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dd05503460f94ac63cc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Formation of Spectral Lines
Photoelectric effect can be understood only if light behaves like particles
![Page 18: Spectroscopy and Atomic Structure. Introduction Spectral Lines The Formation of Spectral Lines The Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom The Photoelectric](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dd05503460f94ac63cc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Dual Nature of Light
Light is a wave– Reflection– Refraction– Interference– Polarization
Light is a particle– Photoelectric effect– reflection
E = hfLight is both a wave and particle!!

Formation of Spectral Lines
Light particles each have energy E:
Here, h is Planck’s constant:

Formation of Spectral Lines
Absorption can boost an electron to the second (or higher) excited state
Two ways to decay:
1. to ground state
2. cascade one orbital at a time
![Page 21: Spectroscopy and Atomic Structure. Introduction Spectral Lines The Formation of Spectral Lines The Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom The Photoelectric](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649dd05503460f94ac63cc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Formation of Spectral Lines
Absorption spectrum: created when atoms absorb photons of right energy for excitation
Multielectron atoms: much more complicated spectra, many more possible states
Ionization changes energy levels

Molecules
Molecules can vibrate and rotate, besides having energy levels
• Electron transitions produce visible and ultraviolet lines
• Vibrational transitions produce infrared lines
• Rotational transitions produce radio-wave lines

Molecular spectra are much more complex than atomic spectra, even for hydrogen:
(a) Molecular hydrogen (b) Atomic hydrogen
