Contents and Concepts
Light Waves, Photons, and the Bohr Theory To understand the formation of chemical bonds, you need to know something about the electronic structure of atoms. Because light gives us information about this structure, we begin by discussing the nature of light. Then we look at the Bohr theory of the simplest atom, hydrogen.

Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Numbers
The Bohr theory firmly establishes the concept of energy levels but fails to account for the details of atomic structure. Here we discuss some basic notions of quantum mechanics, which is the theory currently applied to extremely small particles, such as electrons in atoms.

A wave is a continuously repeating change or oscillation in matter or in a physical field.
Light is an electromagnetic wave, consisting of oscillations in electric and magnetic fields traveling through space.

A wave can be characterized by its wavelength and frequency.
Wavelength, symbolized by the Greek letter lambda, , is the distance between any two identical points on adjacent waves.
![Page 6: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Frequency, symbolized by the Greek letter nu, , is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in one unit of time (usually a second). The unit is 1/S or s-1, which is also called the Hertz (Hz).
![Page 7: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave speed, which for light is c, the speed of light, 3.00 x 108 m/s.
c =
The relationship between wavelength and frequency due to the constant velocity of light is illustrated on the next slide.
![Page 8: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

When the wavelength is reduced by a factor of two, the frequency increases by a factor of two.

The range of frequencies and wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation is called the electromagnetic spectrum.
![Page 11: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

One property of waves is that they can be diffracted—that is, they spread out when they encounter an obstacle about the size of the wavelength.
In 1801, Thomas Young, a British physicist, showed that light could be diffracted. By the early 1900s, the wave theory of light was well established.

Quantum Effects and Photons
Planck’s Quantization of Energy (1900)
– According to Max Planck, the atoms of a solid oscillate with a definite frequency, .
where h (Planck’s constant) is assigned a value of 6.63 x 10-34 J. s and n must be an integer.
– He proposed that an atom could have only certain energies of vibration, E, those allowed by the formula
E = h

Photoelectric Effect
.Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.All rights reserved. Presentation of Lecture Outlines, 7–20
– The photoelectric effect is the ejection of electrons from the surface of a metal when light shines on it.
Quantum Effects and Photons
– Electrons are ejected only if the light exceeds a certain “threshold” frequency.
– Violet light, for example, will cause potassium to eject electrons, but no amount of red light (which has a lower frequency) has any effect.
![Page 21: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Quantum Effects and Photons
By the early part of twentieth century, the wave theory of light seemed to be well entrenched.
– In 1905, Albert Einstein proposed that light had both wave and particle properties to explain the observations in the photoelectric effect.
– Einstein based this idea on the work of a German physicist, Max Planck.
![Page 22: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Quantum Effects and Photons
Photoelectric Effect
– The energy of the photons proposed by Einstein would be proportional to the observed frequency, and the proportionality constant would be Planck’s constant.
– In 1905, Einstein used this concept to explain the “photoelectric effect.”
E = h

– Einstein’s assumption that an electron is ejected when struck by a single photon implies that it behaves like a particle.
Quantum Effects and Photons
Photoelectric Effect
– When the photon hits the metal, its energy, h is taken up by the electron.
– The photon ceases to exist as a particle; it is said to be “absorbed.”
![Page 25: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

– The “wave” and “particle” pictures of light should be regarded as complementary views of the same physical entity.
Quantum Effects and Photons
Photoelectric Effect
– This is called the wave-particle duality of light.– The equation E = h displays this duality; E is the
energy of the “particle” photon, and is the frequency of the associated “wave.”
![Page 26: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Photoelectric effect
– For a given metal, a certain amount of energy is needed to eject the electron
– This is called the work function
– Since E=h, the photons must have a frequency higher than the work function in order to eject electrons
![Page 27: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

In the early 1900s, the atom was understood to consist of a positive nucleus around which electrons move (Rutherford’s model).
This explanation left a theoretical dilemma: According to the physics of the time, an electrically charged particle circling a center would continually lose energy as electromagnetic radiation. But this is not the case—atoms are stable.
![Page 28: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

In addition, this understanding could not explain the observation of line spectra of atoms.
A continuous spectrum contains all wavelengths of light.
A line spectrum shows only certain colors or specific wavelengths of light. When atoms are heated, they emit light. This process produces a line spectrum that is specific to that atom. The emission spectra of six elements are shown on the next slide.

1. The stability of the hydrogen atom
2. The line spectrum of the atom

Energy-Level Postulate
An electron can have only certain energy values, called energy levels. Energy levels are quantized.

Transitions Between Energy Levels
An electron can change energy levels by absorbing energy to move to a higher energy level or by emitting energy to move to a lower energy level.

Light is absorbed by an atom when the electron transition is from lower n to higher n (nf > ni). In this case, E will be positive.
Light is emitted from an atom when the electron transition is from higher n to lower n (nf < ni). In this case, E will be negative.
An electron is ejected when nf = ∞.

Quantum Mechanics
Bohr’s theory established the concept of atomic energy levels but did not thoroughly explain the “wave-like” behavior of the electron.
– Current ideas about atomic structure depend on the principles of quantum mechanics, a theory that applies to subatomic particles such as electrons.
![Page 41: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

The first clue in the development of quantum theory came with the discovery of the de Broglie relation.
– In 1923, Louis de Broglie reasoned that if light exhibits particle aspects, perhaps particles of matter show characteristics of waves.
– He postulated that a particle with mass m and a velocity v has an associated wavelength.
– The equation = h/mv is called the de Broglie relation.
Quantum Mechanics

For a photon that has both wave and particle characteristics:
E = h = hc/ (recall c= )E = mc2
mc2 = hc/ or = h/mcSince mc is the momentum of a photon, can we
replace this with the momentum of a particle? = h/mv
This suggests that particles have wave-like characteristics!

If matter has wave properties, why are they not commonly observed?
– The de Broglie relation shows that a baseball (0.145 kg) moving at about 60 mph (27 m/s) has a wavelength of about 1.7 x 10-34 m.
– This value is so incredibly small that such waves cannot be detected.

– Electrons have wavelengths on the order of a few picometers (1 pm = 10-12 m).
– Under the proper circumstances, the wave character of electrons should be observable.
– Molecules are of the dimension of a few pm, so the wave character of electrons is very important in molecules

Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that mathematically describes the wave properties of submicroscopic particles.
– We can no longer think of an electron as having a precise orbit in an atom.
– To describe such an orbit would require knowing its exact position and velocity.
– In 1927, Werner Heisenberg showed (from quantum mechanics) that it is impossible to know both simultaneously.
![Page 48: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Quantum Mechanics
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle is a relation that states that the product of the uncertainty in position (x) and the uncertainty in momentum (mvx) of a particle can be no larger than h/4.
– When m is large (for example, a baseball) the uncertainties are small, but for electrons, high uncertainties disallow defining an exact orbit.

Although we cannot precisely define an electron’s orbit, we can obtain the probability of finding an electron at a given point around the nucleus.
– Erwin Schrodinger defined this probability in a mathematical expression called a wave function, denoted (psi).
– The probability of finding a particle in a region of space is defined by .

Postulates of Quantum Mechanics
The state of a quantum mechanical system is completely specified by its wavefunction, (x,t) For every classical observable there is a linear, Hermitian operator in quantum mechanicsIn any measurement associated with an operator, the only values observed are eigenvalues of the operator, A (x,t) = a (x,t) The average values of an observable is given by its expectation value,
The wavefunction obeys the time dependent Schrodinger equation,

The Variational Energy
It can be easily proven that the variational energy is always greater than or equal to the exact energy of the lowest energy state
If we start with an approximate wavefunction and vary it so as to minimize the energy, we obtain a better wavefunction and energy
With enough flexibility in the wavefunction, we can get very close to the exact energy

The wave function for the lowest level of the hydrogen atom is shown to the left.
Note that its value is greatest nearest the nucleus, but rapidly decreases thereafter. Note also that it never goes to zero, only to a very small value.

Two additional views are shown on the next slide.
Figure A illustrates the probability density for an electron in hydrogen. The concentric circles represent successive shells.
Figure B shows the probability of finding the electron at various distances from the nucleus. The highest probability (most likely) distance is at 50 pm.

According to quantum mechanics, each electron is described by four quantum numbers:
1. Principal quantum number (n)2. Angular momentum quantum number (l)
3. Magnetic quantum number (ml)
4. Spin quantum number (ms)
The first three define the wave function for a particular electron. The fourth quantum number refers to the magnetic property of electrons.
![Page 65: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

A wave function for an electron in an atom is called an atomic orbital (described by three quantum numbers—n, l, ml). It describes a region of space with a definite shape where there is a high probability of finding the electron.
We will study the quantum numbers first, and then look at atomic orbitals.
![Page 66: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Principal Quantum Number, n
This quantum number is the one on which the energy of an electron in an atom primarily depends. The smaller the value of n, the lower the energy and the smaller the orbital.
The principal quantum number can have any positive value: 1, 2, 3, . . .
Orbitals with the same value for n are said to be in the same shell.
![Page 67: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Angular Momentum Quantum Number, lThis quantum number distinguishes orbitals of a given n (shell) having different shapes.
It can have values from 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . to a maximum of (n – 1).
For a given n, there will be n different values of l, or n types of subshells.
Orbitals with the same values for n and l are said to be in the same shell and subshell.
![Page 69: QM EP-307](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/563db986550346aa9a9e2b9a/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

Not every subshell type exists in every shell. The minimum value of n for each type of subshell is shown above.

Magnetic Quantum Number, ml
This quantum number distinguishes orbitals of a given n and l—that is, of a given energy and shape but having different orientations.
The magnetic quantum number depends on the value of l and can have any integer value from –l to 0 to +l. Each different value represents a different orbital. For a given subshell, there will be (2l + 1) values and therefore (2l + 1) orbitals.

Spin Quantum Number, ms
This quantum number refers to the two possible orientations of the spin axis of an electron.
It may have a value of either +1/2 or -1/2.

An s orbital is spherical.
A p orbital has two lobes along a straight line through the nucleus, with one lobe on either side.
A d orbital has a more complicated shape.
