The first nuclear physics experiment Using the nuclear model 29.3 Bohr’s model of atomic quantization 29.4 The Bohr hydrogen atom The stationary states of the hydrogen atom Hydrogen atom energy levels The hydrogen spectrum 29.1 Spectroscopy / demo ! A spectrum is recorded in a spectrometer. ! Self-luminous objects emit a continuous spectrum that depends on the temperature. ! Individual atoms produce atomic spectrum, a discrete spectrum with spectral lines. ! Gases also absorb discrete wavelengths. ! Demo: line spectra Quiz 29.1-1 ! These spectra are from the same element. Which is an emission spectrum, which an absorption spectrum? A. Top is emission; bottom absorption. B. Top is absorption; bottom emission. C. Can’t tell without knowing the element. Quiz 29.1-1 answer ! Top is emission; bottom absorption. ! Every wavelength that is absorbed by the gas is also emitted, but not every emitted wavelength is absorbed. Spectroscopy ! Balmer formula represents the wavelengths of the spectral lines of hydrogen. 91.1 nm ! = 1 1 − () +) ! where ( = 1, 2, 3, … and + can be any integer and + > (. 29.2 Atoms - the raisin-cake model of the atom 6 ! J. J. Thomson, soon after discovering electrons, proposed the raisin-cake model of the atom (“plum-pudding model” actually). ! It was known that electrons are much smaller and less massive than atoms. ! The first observations that atoms have an inner structure came from beta rays and alpha rays emitted from uranium crystal. ! Beta rays are high-speed electrons emitted by uranium. ! Alpha rays (now called alpha particles) consist of helium nuclei, with mass ! = 6.64 ×10)*+ kg, emitted at high speed from a sample. 29.2 The first nuclear physics experiment 7 ! The discovery of large-angle scattering of alpha particles led to the nuclear model of the atom in which negative electrons orbit a small, massive, positive nucleus. ! For fun: Rutherford said “It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you.” 29.2 Using the nuclear model 8 ! In the nuclear model, an atom has a nucleus with positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons are orbiting around it. ! Protons and neutrons are both much more massive than electrons. ! Orbiting electrons are very light and can be easily knocked off, creating a positive ion. Quiz: 29.3-1 9 ! Is there something wrong with the nuclear model (like a miniature solar system) of the atom? If so, what is wrong? Choose all that apply. A. No. Everything is fine with the model. B. Yes. Nothing is providing orbiting electrons the centripetal force. C. Yes. Orbiting electrons would collapse into the nucleus in a very short time. D. Yes. The frequency of radiation emitted by an orbiting electron would not agree with the emission spectra. Quiz: 29.3-1 answer 10 ! Yes. Orbiting electrons would collapse into the nucleus in a very short time. ! Yes. The frequency of radiation emitted by an orbiting electron would not agree with the emission spectra. ! The coulomb force by the nucleus is providing orbiting electrons the centripetal force. ! The frequency of radiation emitted by a continuously radiating electron would have a continuous spectrum, rather than the individual frequencies that are actually observed. 29.3 Bohr’s model of atomic quantization 11 ! Bohr model of the atom: ! An electron in an atom can exist only in a stationary state. ! Each stationary state has a discrete well- defined energy. ! An atom can undergo a transition by emitting or absorbing a photon with an energy equal to the difference in the energies of the states: !"#$%$& = !( − !* = ℎ,. ! An atom can be exited by absorbing energy in collision (collisional excitation). Quiz: 29.3-2 ! An atom has the energy levels shown. A photon with a wavelength of 620 nm has an energy of 2.0 eV. Do you expect to see a spectral line with wavelength of 620 nm in this atom’s absorption spectrum? A. Yes B. No C. There’s not enough information to tell. Quiz: 29.3-2 answer ! No ! Absorption occurs from the ground state, in which nearly all the atoms are. ! No quantum jump from the ground state has ∆"#$%& = 2.0 eV. ! Every wavelength that is emitted by gas is not absorbed. Emission transitions Absorption transitions Quiz: 29.3-3 ! An atom has the energy levels shown. A beam of electrons with 5.5 eV kinetic energy collides with a gas of these atoms in the ground state. How many spectral lines will be seen? Quiz: 29.3-3 answer ! An atom has the energy levels shown. A beam of electrons with 5.5 eV kinetic energy collides with a gas of these atoms in the ground state.

  • Electron Charge Density: a Clue from Quantum Chemistry for Quantum Foundations
    Electron Charge Density: A Clue from Quantum Chemistry for Quantum Foundations Charles T. Sebens California Institute of Technology arXiv v.2 June 24, 2021 Forthcoming in Foundations of Physics Abstract Within quantum chemistry, the electron clouds that surround nuclei in atoms and molecules are sometimes treated as clouds of probability and sometimes as clouds of charge. These two roles, tracing back to Schr¨odingerand Born, are in tension with one another but are not incompatible. Schr¨odinger'sidea that the nucleus of an atom is surrounded by a spread-out electron charge density is supported by a variety of evidence from quantum chemistry, including two methods that are used to determine atomic and molecular structure: the Hartree-Fock method and density functional theory. Taking this evidence as a clue to the foundations of quantum physics, Schr¨odinger'selectron charge density can be incorporated into many different interpretations of quantum mechanics (and extensions of such interpretations to quantum field theory).

Doctoral Dissertations. 2136. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/2136 Coercing Magnetism into Diamagnetic Ceramics: A Case Study in Alumina Erik Carl Nykwest, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2019 Ceramics are very diverse class of materials whose properties can vary greatly. It is this diversity that make ceramics so useful in advanced technology. The relatively open crystal structure of ceramics makes it pos- sible to impart functionalities via judicious doping. This work focuses on developing a generalized method for introducing magnetism into normally non-magnetic (diamagnetic) ceramics, using the example case of alumina (Al2O3).Here, substitutional doping of Al atoms with 3d transition metal in α- and θ-alumina was studied. Density functional theory was used to predict the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of doped alumina, as well as its stability. The results show that adding small concentrations of transition metals to alumina may increase magnetic activity by generating unpaired electrons whose net magnetic moments may couple with external magnetic fields. The dopant species and dopant coordination environment are the most important factors in determining the spin density distribution (localized or delocalized from the dopant atom) and net magnetic moment, which strongly direct the ability of the doped alumina to couple with an ex- ternal field.

  • Lesson 37: Thomson's Plum Pudding Model
    Lesson 37: Thomson's Plum Pudding Model Remember back in Lesson 18 when we looked at trapping moving particles in a circular path using a magnetic field? • In this lesson we look at how using this type of set up eventually helped physicists start to figure out the nature of the atom. Early Theories about Atoms In 1803 John Dalton presented his theory that the elements of the periodic table were made of atoms. • The main reason he was proposing this idea was to be able to explain the chemistry that he was studying. • Dalton believed that atoms were solid pieces of matter that could not be broken down any further. ◦ This is why his model is often referred to as the Solid Sphere Model. • Although Dalton's model was able to explain the way he saw chemical reactions working, he was unable to really prove that matter was made up of these atoms, or how chemical bonding could happen between them.

  • Basic Properties of Atoms Emission Spectral Lines
    Atomic Models The purpose of this chapter is to build a simplest atomic model that will help us to understand the structure of atom. This is attained by referring to some basic experimental facts that have been gathered since 1900’s (e.g. Rutherford scattering experiment, atomic spectral lines etc.) For this we need to explore the wave nature of electron. Basic properties of atoms 1) Atoms are of microscopic size, ~ 10−10 m. Visible light is not enough to resolve (see) the detail structure of an atom as its size is only of the order of 100 nm. 2) Atoms are stable. The force (EM force) that hold an atom together is attractive. 3) Atoms contain negatively charges (e.g. as seen in Compton and photoelectric effect), electrons, but are electrically neutral. An atom with Z electrons must also contain a net positive charge of +Ze. 4) Atoms emit and absorb EM radiation (because of this, EM wave is usually used to probe the structure of an atom). Emission spectral lines A single atom or molecule which rarely interacts with other molecules (such as a gas in a tube with very diluted concentration) emit radiation characteristic of the particular atom/molecule species. This happen when the atoms/molecules are ``excited’’ e.g. by heating or passing electric current through it The emitted radiation displays characteristic discrete sets of spectrum which contains certain specific wavelengths only. The spectral lines are analysed with spectrometer, which give important physical information of the atom/molecules by analysing the wavelengths composition and pattern of these lines.

  • Atomic Models
    Atomic Models Article to be checked Check of this article is requested. Suggested reviewer: RNDr. Petr Heřman Atomic models There has been a variety of atomic models throughout history of atomic physics, that refers mainly to a period from the beginning of 19th century to the first half of 20th century, when a final model of atom which is being used nowadays (or accepted as the most accurate one) was invented. Although the awareness of atom existence goes way back to the antique period of the world history (Greek conception of atom), this article will be mainly about five basic atomic models, from which each one has somehow contributed to how we percept the structure of atom itself - Dalton´s Billiard Ball Model, J.J Thomson's "plum pudding" model, Rutherford's Planetary model, Bohr's Atomic model, Electron Cloud Model/Quantum Mechanics Model. John Dalton’s atomic model John Dalton was an English scientist, who came up with an idea that all matter is composed of very small things. It was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of particles. He called these particles atoms and formed an atomic theory. In this theory he claims that: All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms Parts of his theory had to be modified based on the discovery of subatomic particles and isotopes.

  • Section 28-2: Models of the Atom
    Answer to Essential Question 28.1: (a) In general, four energy levels give six photon energies. One way to count these is to start with the highest level, –12 eV. An electron starting in the –12 eV level can drop to any of the other three levels, giving three different photon energies. An electron starting at the –15 eV level can drop to either of the two lower levels, giving two more photon energies. Finally, an electron can drop from the –21 eV level to the –31 eV level, giving one more photon energy (for a total of six). (b) The minimum photon energy corresponds to the 3 eV difference between the –12 eV level and the –15 eV level. The maximum photon energy corresponds to the 19 eV difference between the –12 eV level and the –31 eV level. 28-2 Models of the Atom It is amazing to think about how far we have come, in terms of our understanding of the physical world, in the last century or so. A good example of our progress is how much our model of the atom has evolved. Let’s spend some time discussing the evolution of atomic models. Ernest Rutherford probes the plum-pudding model J. J. Thomson, who discovered the electron in 1897, proposed a plum-pudding model of the atom. In this model, electrons were thought to be embedded in a ball of positive charge, like raisins are embedded in a plum pudding. Ernest Rutherford (1871 - 1937) put this model to the test by designing an experiment that involved firing alpha particles (helium nuclei) at a very thin film of gold.

  • Lecture 36 (Atomic Spectra)
    Lecture 36 (Atomic Spectra) Physics 2310-01 Spring 2020 Douglas Fields Fraunhofer Lines • In the late 1700s and early 1800s, one of the premier skills was that of glassmaker. Joseph Fraunhofer became one of the most skilled and sought after glassmakers. • He discovered a large set of missing colors in the solar spectrum while looking for a bright line instead. Thus in 1814, Fraunhofer invented the spectroscope. In the course of his experiments he discovered the bright fixed line which appears in the orange color of the spectrum when it is produced by the light of fire. This line enabled him afterward to determine the absolute power of refraction in different substances. Experiments to ascertain whether the solar spectrum contained the same bright line in the orange as that produced by the light of fire led him to the discovery of 574 dark fixed lines in the solar spectrum; millions of such fixed absorption lines are now known. - Wikipedia He missed a few… Emission Lines • About the same time, people were using flame emission spectroscopy to see that different materials emitted light of specific frequencies when heated to high enough temperatures that they became heated gases. Emission Lines • Another way to do this is to pass an electric current through a gas, thermally heating it and seeing the spectra of light emission using a diffraction grating. Absorption & Emission • The other aspect that was noticed is that spectra emitted by an heated element was the same as the spectra of absorption when continuous light was passed through the same cool element (as a gas).
