Study Notes
Bohr's Atomic Model
- Electrons move in circular paths around the nucleus, similar to the movement of planets around the sun.
- Electrons do not radiate energy while moving in these orbits, unlike what classical physics would predict.
Energy Transitions
- Electrons can only lose energy by moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
- This energy difference, denoted as ∆E, is calculated by the formula: ∆E = E2 - E1.
Energy Level Calculation
- ∆E is also defined by the equation: ∆E = Rhc(1/n12 - 1/n22)
- Rhc is a constant representing the Rydberg constant, speed of light, and Planck’s constant.
- n1 and n2 represent the initial and final energy levels of the electron's transition.
Defining ∆E with different energy levels
- ∆E = Rhc(1/n2 - 1/m2) ; m > n
- Here, m and n are the initial and final energy levels of the electron's transition, respectively.
Limitations of Bohr's Model
- One limitation of Bohr's model is that it is not consistent with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, as it states that one cannot determine the exact position and momentum of an electron simultaneously.
de Broglie Wavelength
- de Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the mass of the particle.
- This means that a heavier particle will have a shorter wavelength.
Balmer's Equation
- Balmer's equation relates the wavelength of light emitted by a hydrogen atom to the energy levels of the electron.
Absorption and Emission
- Absorption refers to the process where an atom absorbs energy, usually in the form of light, which causes an electron to move to a higher energy level.
- Emission refers to the process where an atom releases energy, usually in the form of light, which causes an electron to move to a lower energy level.
Absorption vs Emission Spectrum
- An absorption spectrum shows the wavelengths of light that an atom or molecule absorbs.
- An emission spectrum shows the wavelengths of light that an atom or molecule emits.
Continuous vs Line Spectrum
- A continuous spectrum contains all wavelengths of light, while a line spectrum contains only specific wavelengths of light.
Absorption Line Spectrum
- This spectrum exhibits dark lines, indicating specific wavelengths of radiant energy absorbed by the atom and electron transition to higher energy levels.
Emission Line Spectrum
- This spectrum exhibits bright lines that correspond to specific wavelengths of light emitted by the atom.
- Each element emits a unique set of spectral lines, which can therefore be used as a fingerprint for identifying the element.
Complete Hydrogen's Emission Spectrum
- This spectrum shows all the wavelengths of light that are emitted by a hydrogen atom.
- It is made up of a series of spectral lines, each corresponding to a different energy transition.
Balmer-Rydberg's Equation
- This equation predicts the wavelengths of light emitted by hydrogen atoms when electrons transition between energy levels.
- 1/λ = R (1/ni2 - 1/nf2)
- R is the Rydberg constant.
- ni is the initial energy level (principal quantum number).
- nf is the final energy level.
Another form of Balmer-Rydberg's Equation
- 1/λ = R (1/n2 - 1/m2) ; m>n
- This equation shows the relationship between the wavelength of light emitted by a hydrogen atom and the energy levels of the electron.
- This equation can be used to predict the wavelengths of light that will be emitted by a hydrogen atom when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
