VII Chemical Bond
VII. INTO THE UNKNOWN 7-1 THE ELECTRON DENSITY Now we are ready to look at lowest level of engineering structure—the level at which everything else is determined—the relation between the structure of the electron density and properties. Most importantly, we are going to associate a properties with the structure of that thing we have heard of, but never seen—the chemical bond--begining with the moving electron and electron density. As you know, atomic electrons are in constant motion about the tiny but massive nucleus. An electron’s mass is about 1/2000 that of a proton or neutron and it is moving very fast compared to the nucleus. While an electron is traveling at 3 to 10 million meters per second, as we know from the Boltzmann equation, at the temperature that concern us— < 3000K—even a fast nucleus is moving at less than one thousandth this speed— 1000 or so meters per second. As a mental image, think of an atom as a bee hive. At the center of the hive is the queen bee, which we will take as the location of an atomic nucleus. The electrons are the worker bees, making circuits about the hive. If the beekeeper moves the hive a bit, the circling bees simply move along with the hive—their motion is fast compared to that of the hive. But how fast? Well, the “electron bees” are moving much faster than the ordinary bees of our experience. 16 17 In one second, an individual electron bee will make between 10 and 10 Fig. -
