Quantum Numbers and Electronic Configuration 1 Quantum Numbers and Electronic Configuration. F Scullion: www.justchemy.com Each electron has a set of four numbers, called quantum numbers, that specify it completely; no two electrons in the same atom can have the same four. That is essentially the Pauli Exclusion Principle. 1. The Principal Quantum Number. Given the symbol “n”. This denotes the energy level (shell). This has integer values 1, 2, 3. 2. The Angular Momentum Quantum Number. Given the symbol “l ” It denotes the number of sub-levels (orbitals) in each energy level and the shape of these orbitals. The number of orbitals in any level = the number of the energy level. The number of electrons in any level is found by the formula: No. of electrons = 2n2 where n is the principle quantum number (energy level) Energy Maximum d Number of s p F level Number of orbital (Value of n) orbital orbital orbital Subshells Electrons Clover- Spherical Dumbell Complex = 2n2 leaf 1 1 2 √ 2 2 8 √ √ 3 3 18 √ √ √ 4 4 32 √ √ √ √ 2 3.

In the so-called “ground state” of an atom the electronic configuration generally follows this principle. According to this principle, electrons enter into states in order of the states increasing energy. Electrons are reluctant to pair up with another in the same atomic orbital (due to repulsions) and to go to a higher energy level than is necessary. When faced with the need to do one or other, they generally settle for pairing up with opposite spins, rather than go into the next highest energy level. Complete for Oxygen (8) Complete for Sodium (11) Exceptions to this rule include Chromium (4s1 3d5) and Copper (4s1 3d10) These result because it requires less energy to maintain an electron in a half-filled or filled d sublevel than paired in the s sublevel below. s p d and f block elements Assigned according to the oribtal getting the final electron.

Need was felt for a theory to describe, correlate and predict the behaviour of the sub-atomic particles. The quantum theory, proposed by Max Planck and applied by Einstein and Bohr to explain different aspects of behaviour of matter, is an important milestone in the formulation of the modern concept of atom. In this unit, we will study how black body radiation, heat capacity variation, photoelectric effect and atomic spectra of hydrogen can be explained on the basis of theories proposed by Max Planck, Einstein and Bohr. They based their theories on the postulate that all interactions between matter and radiation occur in terms of definite packets of energy, known as quanta. Their ideas, when extended further, led to the evolution of wave mechanics, which shows the dual nature of matter

  • Quantum Theory of the Hydrogen Atom
    Quantum Theory of the Hydrogen Atom Chemistry 35 Fall 2000 Balmer and the Hydrogen Spectrum n 1885: Johann Balmer, a Swiss schoolteacher, empirically deduced a formula which predicted the wavelengths of emission for Hydrogen: l (in Å) = 3645.6 x n2 for n = 3, 4, 5, 6 n2 -4 •Predicts the wavelengths of the 4 visible emission lines from Hydrogen (which are called the Balmer Series) •Implies that there is some underlying order in the atom that results in this deceptively simple equation. 2 1 The Bohr Atom n 1913: Niels Bohr uses quantum theory to explain the origin of the line spectrum of hydrogen 1. The electron in a hydrogen atom can exist only in discrete orbits 2. The orbits are circular paths about the nucleus at varying radii 3. Each orbit corresponds to a particular energy 4. Orbit energies increase with increasing radii 5. The lowest energy orbit is called the ground state 6. After absorbing energy, the e- jumps to a higher energy orbit (an excited state) 7. When the e- drops down to a lower energy orbit, the energy lost can be given off as a quantum of light 8. The energy of the photon emitted is equal to the difference in energies of the two orbits involved 3 Mohr Bohr n Mathematically, Bohr equated the two forces acting on the orbiting electron: coulombic attraction = centrifugal accelleration 2 2 2 -(Z/4peo)(e /r ) = m(v /r) n Rearranging and making the wild assumption: mvr = n(h/2p) n e- angular momentum can only have certain quantified values in whole multiples of h/2p 4 2 Hydrogen Energy Levels n Based on this model, Bohr arrived at a simple equation to calculate the electron energy levels in hydrogen: 2 En = -RH(1/n ) for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, .

In order to be a well-behaved function, there are some conditions over the values of discrete variables that must be followed i.e. boundary conditions. Therefore, we can conclude that principal (n), azimuthal (l) and magnetic (m) quantum numbers are obtained as a solution of the Schrodinger wave equation for hydrogen atom; and these quantum numbers are used to define various quantum mechanical states. In this section, we will discuss the properties and significance of all these three quantum numbers one by one. Principal Quantum Number The principal quantum number is denoted by the symbol n; and can have value 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…..∞.

  • Lecture 3: Particle in a 1D Box
    Lecture 3: Particle in a 1D Box First we will consider a free particle moving in 1D so V (x) = 0. The TDSE now reads ~2 d2ψ(x) = Eψ(x) −2m dx2 which is solved by the function ψ = Aeikx where √2mE k = ± ~ A general solution of this equation is ψ(x) = Aeikx + Be−ikx where A and B are arbitrary constants. It can also be written in terms of sines and cosines as ψ(x) = C sin(kx) + D cos(kx) The constants appearing in the solution are determined by the boundary conditions. For a free particle that can be anywhere, there is no boundary conditions, so k and thus E = ~2k2/2m can take any values. The solution of the form eikx corresponds to a wave travelling in the +x direction and similarly e−ikx corresponds to a wave travelling in the -x direction. These are eigenfunctions of the momentum operator. Since the particle is free, it is equally likely to be anywhere so ψ∗(x)ψ(x) is independent of x. Incidently, it cannot be normalized because the particle can be found anywhere with equal probability. 1 Now, let us confine the particle to a region between x = 0 and x = L. To do this, we choose our interaction potential V (x) as follows V (x) = 0 for 0 x L ≤ ≤ = otherwise ∞ It is always a good idea to plot the potential energy, when it is a function of a single variable, as shown in Fig.1. The TISE is now given by V(x) V=infinity V=0 V=infinity x 0 L ~2 d2ψ(x) + V (x)ψ(x) = Eψ(x) −2m dx2 First consider the region outside the box where V (x) = .

  • The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom
    The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom Quantum Numbers In order to describe the probable location of electrons, they are assigned four numbers called quantum numbers. The quantum numbers of an electron are kind of like the electron’s “address”. No two electrons can be described by the exact same four quantum numbers. This is called The Pauli Exclusion Principle. • Principle quantum number: The principle quantum number describes which orbit the electron is in and therefore how much energy the electron has. - it is symbolized by the letter n. - positive whole numbers are assigned (not including 0): n=1, n=2, n=3 , etc - the higher the number, the further the orbit from the nucleus - the higher the number, the more energy the electron has (this is sort of like Bohr’s energy levels) - the orbits (energy levels) are also called shells • Angular momentum (azimuthal) quantum number: The azimuthal quantum number describes the sublevels (subshells) that occur in each of the levels (shells) described above. - it is symbolized by the letter l - positive whole number values including 0 are assigned: l = 0, l = 1, l = 2, etc. - each number represents the shape of a subshell: l = 0, represents an s subshell l = 1, represents a p subshell l = 2, represents a d subshell l = 3, represents an f subshell - the higher the number, the more complex the shape of the subshell. The picture below shows the shape of the s and p subshells: (notice the electron clouds) • Magnetic quantum number: All of the subshells described above (except s) have more than one orientation.

  • 4 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
    Chapter 4, page 1 4 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Pieter Zeeman observed in 1896 the splitting of optical spectral lines in the field of an electromagnet. Since then, the splitting of energy levels proportional to an external magnetic field has been called the "Zeeman effect". The "Zeeman resonance effect" causes magnetic resonances which are classified under radio frequency spectroscopy (rf spectroscopy). In these resonances, the transitions between two branches of a single energy level split in an external magnetic field are measured in the megahertz and gigahertz range. In 1944, Jevgeni Konstantinovitch Savoiski discovered electron paramagnetic resonance. Shortly thereafter in 1945, nuclear magnetic resonance was demonstrated almost simultaneously in Boston by Edward Mills Purcell and in Stanford by Felix Bloch. Nuclear magnetic resonance was sometimes called nuclear induction or paramagnetic nuclear resonance. It is generally abbreviated to NMR. So as not to scare prospective patients in medicine, reference to the "nuclear" character of NMR is dropped and the magnetic resonance based imaging systems (scanner) found in hospitals are simply referred to as "magnetic resonance imaging" (MRI). 4.1 The Nuclear Resonance Effect Many atomic nuclei have spin, characterized by the nuclear spin quantum number I. The absolute value of the spin angular momentum is L =+h II(1). (4.01) The component in the direction of an applied field is Lz = Iz h ≡ m h. (4.02) The external field is usually defined along the z-direction. The magnetic quantum number is symbolized by Iz or m and can have 2I +1 values: Iz ≡ m = −I, −I+1, ..., I−1, I.

  • A Relativistic Electron in a Coulomb Potential
    A Relativistic Electron in a Coulomb Potential Alfred Whitehead Physics 518, Fall 2009 The Problem Solve the Dirac Equation for an electron in a Coulomb potential. Identify the conserved quantum numbers. Specify the degeneracies. Compare with solutions of the Schrödinger equation including relativistic and spin corrections. Approach My approach follows that taken by Dirac in [1] closely. A few modifications taken from [2] and [3] are included, particularly in regards to the final quantum numbers chosen. The general strategy is to first find a set of transformations which turn the Hamiltonian for the system into a form that depends only on the radial variables r and pr. Once this form is found, I solve it to find the energy eigenvalues and then discuss the energy spectrum. The Radial Dirac Equation We begin with the electromagnetic Hamiltonian q H = p − cρ ~σ · ~p − A~ + ρ mc2 (1) 0 1 c 3 with 2 0 0 1 0 3 6 0 0 0 1 7 ρ1 = 6 7 (2) 4 1 0 0 0 5 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 3 6 0 1 0 0 7 ρ3 = 6 7 (3) 4 0 0 −1 0 5 0 0 0 −1 1 2 0 1 0 0 3 2 0 −i 0 0 3 2 1 0 0 0 3 6 1 0 0 0 7 6 i 0 0 0 7 6 0 −1 0 0 7 ~σ = 6 7 ; 6 7 ; 6 7 (4) 4 0 0 0 1 5 4 0 0 0 −i 5 4 0 0 1 0 5 0 0 1 0 0 0 i 0 0 0 0 −1 We note that, for the Coulomb potential, we can set (using cgs units): Ze2 p = −eΦ = − o r A~ = 0 This leads us to this form for the Hamiltonian: −Ze2 H = − − cρ ~σ · ~p + ρ mc2 (5) r 1 3 We need to get equation 5 into a form which depends not on ~p, but only on the radial variables r and pr.

  • Quantum Spin Systems and Their Local and Long-Time Properties Carolee Wheeler Faculty Advisor: Robert Sims
    URA Project Proposal Quantum Spin Systems and Their Local and Long-Time Properties Carolee Wheeler Faculty Advisor: Robert Sims In quantum mechanics, spin is an important concept having to do with atomic nuclei, hadrons, and elementary particles. Spin may be thought of as a measure of a particle’s rotation about its axis. However, spin differs from orbital angular momentum in the sense that the particles may carry integer or half-integer quantum numbers, i.e. 0, 1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, etc., whereas orbital angular momentum may only take integer quantum numbers. Furthermore, the spin of a charged elementary particle is related to a magnetic dipole moment. All quantum mechanic particles have an inherent spin. This is due to the fact that elementary particles (such as photons, electrons, or quarks) cannot be divided into smaller entities. In other words, they cannot be viewed as particles that are made up of individual, smaller particles that rotate around a common center. Thus, the spin that elementary particles carry is an intrinsic property [1]. An important characteristic of spin in quantum mechanics is that it is quantized. The magnitude of spin takes values S = h s(s + )1 , with h being the reduced Planck’s constant and s being the spin quantum number (a non- negative integer or half-integer). Spin may also be viewed in composite particles, and is calculated by summing the spins of the constituent particles. In the case of atoms and molecules, spin is the sum of the spins of unpaired electrons [1]. Particles with spin can possess a magnetic moment.
