• Node: is zero on a plane or a sphere or a cone or another geometric surface, wave function changes sign on crossing this boundary

• Total number of nodes for yn is n-1 Angular vs. Radial Nodes

The shapes of the probability distribution, angular vs. radial nodes, relate to the value of quantized angular momentum for the orbital “l”.

Angular nodes are functions of angles: e.g. planes or cones There are l angular nodes (0 for s, 1 for p, 2 for d etc.)

Radial nodes: function of radius e.g. spheres. There are (n-l-1) radial nodes. From Wikipedia Orbitals are often depicted in terms of the 90% or 95% or sometimes 67% probability surface Angular vs. Radial Nodes

How many per orbital?

Postulate: every electron has to be in a different state.

• The n=1 l=0 (1s) orbital has two electrons in it!!!

• In fact, orbitals generally can have up to 2 electrons.

• Why? Are the two electrons in the 1s orbital in different states? Return to this question next week when we discuss: intrinsic spin Aufbau, periodicity. Stern-Gerlach

Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach in 1922 sent a neutral gaseous silver atom spray through an inhomogeneous magnet. An uncharged particle should not be deflected unless is has a , or is magnetic. Is a neutral atom magnetic? Two beams came out, both deflected about a mm, (which they could see on the collection paper thanks to their cigar smoke)…. So not only the neutral atom was magnetic, it had apparently two quantized magnetic states! Why are the beams deflected?

What could cause the neutral atom to have 2 quantized magnetic states?

Not the orbital angular momentum! That would be three states if the orbital were l = 1 (p). That would be five states if l = 2 (d). Stern-Gerlach How many electrons does a neutral Ag atom have?

A 25 B 46 C 47 D 48 E none of the above Stern-Gerlach Ag has an odd number of electrons (47). This turned out to be the key feature. With an odd number of electrons, the beam split into two beams in a magnetic field.

Generally electrons in atoms are paired. If there are an odd number of total electrons, then they cannot all be paired up in the same wavefucntion (level), at least one is unpaired. Stern-Gerlach They postulated that an isolated electron, has “spin” (spins on its axis) and therefore has a magnetic moment.

An “unpaired” electron could be randomly pointed up or down in the field: the energies are not identical but they are very similar. The experimental result says that it is decisively one or the other: the z component of the magnetic moment is quantized!

Note the analogy to orbital angular momentum. The total is l and the projection along an axis is quantized from –l to +l George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudsmit

Independently (later) proposed the existence of intrinsic spin. They were graduate students in 1925 in Leiden Isidor Rabi

• CU Faculty • Demonstrated how to force transitions between the up and down state of the electron spin. • Director of Radiation Lab at MIT for development of Radar and of the Atomic Bomb • Our Rabi program is named for him. Pauli Paired Two electrons can be in the 1s orbital but are actually not in the same state! There are two distinct states for the 1s orbital. They differ in terms of having opposing spin direction or intrinsic angular momentum (spinning on their own axis), therefore different magnetic moments, but are otherwise the same. Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958) predicted that the 2 states should pair into the same orbital. Once they are paired the magnetism cancels and apparently “disappears” . They are called “Pauli paired” and this is called the Pauli principle. States of the Electron in an Atom 4 quantum numbers • n : principal is an integer greater than or equal to 1 • l : angular momentum quantum number is an integer from 0 to n-1

• ml : magnetic quantum number is an integer between -l and +l

• ms : spin angular momentum (orientation of intrinsic electron spin) either +1/2 or -1/2 States of the Electron in an Atom

Examples:

Ground state of H is 1s (n=1, l=0, ml=0) but can be ms= +1/2 or ms= -1/2 2 ground states of equal energy

st 1 excited states of H are 2s (n=2, l=0, ml=0), or 2p (x, y, or z) (n=2, l=1, mll = +1,0,-1)

and each can be ms= +1/2 or ms= -1/2 8 excited states of equal energy Practical consequences of intrinsic spin

• The magnetic moments of both protons and electrons can be used for analytic chemistry: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Imaging are very sensitive informative tools for chemists, in contexts ranging from land mine detection, security, forensic, medicine, materials science, to biochemistry, and medicine. • Only some nuclei have a magnetic moment (depends on the specific isotope or nuclide). Uses of Detection by Magnetic Resonance

• Radiation dosimetry: Radiation damage, Detection of irradiated foods, Archaeological dating, etc. • Free Radicals in Biology and Medicine Most organic (non metal) compounds have all paired spins, and if a compound has an unpaired spin it is likely to be very reactive and an important metabolism indicator, and even a cancer indicator, therefore interesting to detect diagnostically. • Spectroscopy used to determine structures of molecules Magnetic Resonance Imaging

2372 kJ/mol: ionization of helium atoms with two electrons. The binding energy for the second electron is much less than the single electron in He+. The electrons are less strongly bound because they repel each other or “screen” the nucleus. Repulsion of the Electrons in the Multielectron Atom

1 electron in 1s orbital. 1312 kJ /mole: ionization of hydrogen atoms. Helium’s second ionization energy is 5250 kJ/mol (Bohr value, 4 times the value for hydrogen). Lithium’s third ionization energy is 11,815.0 kJ / mol (Bohr value, 9 times the value for hydrogen). 1 electron system in 1s orbital.

2 electrons in 1s orbital. Helium’s first ionization is only 2372 kJ/mol; Lithium’s second ionization energy is only 7300 kJ/mol. Hydrogen’s electron affinity is much less than the IE.

These large differences between removing the first vs. the second 1s electrons related to the repulsion between the two 1s electrons and the screening of one electron by the other; the resulting electron-electron repulsion subtracts from the force holding the electron to the nucleus, substantially reducing the local binding of each. Filling Order

The electrons fill in a somewhat predictable order that is different from the Bohr atom energy order because multi-electron states are not really a sum of the single electron states: electron-electron interactions are important. The order of filling derives from the energy. Were discussing the rules for the multielectron, isolated, gas phase neutral atom .

Ionization energies support the idea of shells ( but not the Born energies). Aufbau: Hund’s Rule

When there is a group of orbitals that are the same energy, and they are not completely filled, the electrons are placed in separate orbitals to the extent possible.

Although 2s and 2p are not the same energy, for an isolated atom with 5 electrons the various 2p orbitals are all the same– similar properties just pointing in different directions.
