    Study Notes

    Hydrogen Spectra

    • The Rydberg formula describes the wavelengths of light emitted by hydrogen: ῡ = R (1/ni² - 1/nf²)
    • The formula is used to calculate the wavelengths of spectral lines in different series (e.g. Lyman, Balmer, Paschen)

    Bohr Model of the Atom

    • Electrons exist in definite energy levels (quantized) and move between these levels, emitting or absorbing energy corresponding to specific frequencies
    • The energy states of H atoms are quantized, and electrons jump between energy levels, emitting or absorbing energy
    • Bohr's theory explains the atomic spectra and is linked to Planck's constant (h)

    Bohr's Assumptions

    • Electrons can have only specific (quantized) energy values
    • The angular momentum of the electron must be quantized for each discrete orbit

    Summary of Bohr Model

    • Electrons move in specified paths (orbits or shells) around the nucleus
    • As long as the electron is in a particular orbit, its energy is constant (stationary orbit or stationary shell)
    • The principal quantum number (n) can take values 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
    • Each stationary orbit corresponds to a definite energy

    Multielectron Atoms

    • Neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons
    • Ions are charged atoms (cations have more protons than electrons, anions have more electrons than protons)

    Electrons in Orbit about the Nucleus

    • Atomic Structure: Neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons
    • Ion Formation: Neutral atoms can lose or gain electrons to become ions

    Problems

    • Wavenumber calculations for transitions from outer levels to level 2
    • Radius of Bohr's first orbit for hydrogen atom and energy of the electron in the orbit
    • Wavelength and energy of radiation emitted for electronic transitions from infinite to stationary state of hydrogen atom

    Sommerfeld Theory (Bohr-Sommerfeld Theory)

    • Arnold Sommerfeld proposed elliptical orbits instead of circular orbits
    • Limitations: cannot explain fine structure, does not provide information on relativistic intensities of fine lines, and is contrary to the uncertainty principle

    Wave-Particle Duality of Electron

    • Louis Victor de Broglie suggested that all matter can exhibit wave-like properties
    • Wave-particle duality of photon: E = hv = hc/λ
    • Combining equations: λ = h/p (de Broglie wavelength)

    Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

    • States that it is impossible to know both the momentum and position of a particle at the same time
    • Critical for small particles like electrons

    Slater's Rule Calculation

    • Example calculations for oxygen and nickel atoms
    • Calculating shielding constants (σ) for 2p and 3d electrons
