  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Principal Quantum Number the Azimuthal Quantum Number The
    To completely describe an electron in an atom, four quantum numbers are needed: energy (n), angular momentum (ℓ), magnetic moment (mℓ), and spin (ms). The Principal Quantum Number This quantum number describes the electron shell or energy level of an atom. The value of n ranges from 1 to the shell containing the outermost electron of that atom. For example, in caesium (Cs), the outermost valence electron is in the shell with energy level 6, so an electron incaesium can have an n value from 1 to 6. For particles in a time-independent potential, as per the Schrödinger equation, it also labels the nth eigen value of Hamiltonian (H). This number has a dependence only on the distance between the electron and the nucleus (i.e. the radial coordinate r). The average distance increases with n, thus quantum states with different principal quantum numbers are said to belong to different shells. The Azimuthal Quantum Number The angular or orbital quantum number, describes the sub-shell and gives the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum through the relation. ℓ = 0 is called an s orbital, ℓ = 1 a p orbital, ℓ = 2 a d orbital, and ℓ = 3 an f orbital. The value of ℓ ranges from 0 to n − 1 because the first p orbital (ℓ = 1) appears in the second electron shell (n = 2), the first d orbital (ℓ = 2) appears in the third shell (n = 3), and so on. This quantum number specifies the shape of an atomic orbital and strongly influences chemical bonds and bond angles.

  • Part 1. the Electronic Structure of Atoms Hydrogen-Like Atoms
    Part 1. The Electronic Structure of Atoms The wave function of an atom contains all the information about the properties of the atom. The wave functions for the hydrogen atom and other one-electron atoms (such as He+ and Li2+) can be calculated exactly by solving Schrödinger’s equation. Approximate methods must be used to calculate the wave functions for atoms containing two or more electrons. These numerical calculations can be very accurate, but require complicated computer calculations. So we start with (brief review from Chem 331): Hydrogen-Like Atoms What are they? He+ (Z = 2) , Li2+ (Z = 3), Be3+ (Z = 4), etc. Ions with one nucleus and one electron (two bound particles), atomic number Z > 1. Also a few rare, but interesting, “exotics”, such as muonium (more on that in the tutorial!). Why are they important? Schrödinger’s equation can be solved exactly for hydrogen-like atoms, using the reduced mass concept to simplify the two-body problem to an effective one-body problem. This greatly expands the number of chemical systems that can be treated analytically by quantum mechanical principles. (For molecules and multi-electron atoms, cumbersome and less accurate numerical methods must be used to solve Schrödinger’s equation.) For hydrogen-like atoms, the electrostatic potential energy and the reduced mass in Schrödinger’s equation for the hydrogen atom e2 V (r) = − 40r m m = e p me + mp are changed to (notice the factor of Z) Ze 2 V (r) = − 40r m m = e N me + mN me is the electron mass and mN is the nucleus mass.

  • Spin Quantum Number Or Rest Angular Momentum
    Spin Quantum Number or Rest Angular Momentum H. Razmi (1) and A. MohammadKazemi (2) Department of Physics, The University of Qom, The Old Isfahan Road, Qom, I. R. Iran. (1) [email protected] & [email protected] (2) [email protected] Abstract The aim of this letter (considering the fundamental origins of Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, Thomas precession, and the photon spin) is to point out that since the origin of spin angular momentum refers to relativity than quantum theory, it is better to call it as the “rest angular momentum”. 1 Spin quantity which was introduced short after formulation of quantum mechanics, in addition to its theoretical significance, has a wide variety of applications in different technological fields (e. g. NMR and new hot subject of research spintronics). Although the mathematical formulation (Lie algebra) of the subject is well-known, the fundamental discussions related to the spin can be hardly found in modern (text)books and papers. In this letter, with an overview of the fundamental origins of Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, Thomas precession, and the photon spin, it is pointed out that the origin of spin angular momentum refers to relativity than quantum theory. As is clear in the history of the discovery of the electron spin [1], spin degree of freedom cannot be considered as the electron rotation. If the electron is to rotate around itself, its surface velocity should be more than the velocity of light in vacuum?! Although some experts have tried to find a realistic and causal model for spin angular momentum [2], they haven't succeeded to satisfy the physics society yet; the reason is that the so-called classical models are "toy" models than be considered realistic.

  • Quantum Numbers
    3.091: Introduction to Solid State Chemistry Maddie Sutula, Fall 2018 Recitation 5 1 Quantum numbers Every electron localized in an atom can be described by four quantum numbers. The Pauli Exclusion Principle tells us that no two electrons can share the exact same set of quantum numbers Principal quantum number The principle quantum number, n, represents the energy level of the electron, much like the n used in the Bohr model. Energy is related to the principle quantum number by 13:6 eV E = − ; n > 0 n2 Orbital angular momentum quantum number The orbital angular momentum quantum number, l, provides information about the shape of an orbital. Unlike the description of early models of the atom, electrons in atoms don't orbit around the nucleus like a planet around the sun. However, they do have angular momentum, and the shape of the probability cloud around the nucleus depends on the value of the angular momentum. The magnitude of the angular momentum is related to the orbital angular momentum quantum number by p L = ¯h l(l + 1); 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1 The orbital angular momentum quantum numbers correspond directly to letters commonly used by chemists to describe the orbital subshells: for example, l = 1 corresponds to the s orbitals, which are spherical: l = 2 corresponds to the p orbitals, which are lobed: Visualizations of the higher orbitals, like the d (l − 2) and f (l = 3) can be found in Chapter 6 of the Averill textbook.

    Electron Configurations The location of electrons in orbit around the nucleus is what determines how an element will behave in chemical reactions. Therefore; electron configuration is everything to chemistry. There are three ways to show electron configuration: Orbital Notation Electron Configuration Notation Lewis Dot Notation Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom (today’s model) Electrons DO occupy energy levels but their path is not definite Energy Increases You cannot say with certainty away from the that an electron will be at any nucleus point at any given time, although you do know that there is a HIGH PROBABILITY that the electrons are around the nucleus Energy Levels – regions around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found Remember the ladder…each step is like an energy level Quantum Numbers Quantum Numbers – numbers that describe atomic orbitals and their electrons Orbitals – the place within an energy level where an electron will probably be found There are 4 quantum numbers! (1) PRINCIPAL Quantum Number – n describes the principal (main) energy levels of electrons in an atom the main energy levels are known as SHELLS increase in n = increase in energy maximum number of electrons (e-) in an energy level = 2n (2) ORBITAL Quantum Number – l determines the energy sublevel AND the shape of the orbital the number of sublevels is equal to the principal quantum number four shapes of the energy sub levels are: s = spherical p = dumbbell d = double dumbbell f = too complex to describe P Orbital S Orbital
