Study Notes
Rutherford Model
- Rutherford described the atom as a nucleus with orbiting electrons, like planets around the sun.
- This model contradicts electrodynamics, as electrons should radiate energy while orbiting, causing them to spiral into the nucleus.
- However, atoms exist, and electrons don't fall into nuclei.
Wave-Particle Duality & De Broglie's Relationship
- Building on work by Planck and Einstein, Louis de Broglie proposed that any moving particle with mass m and velocity v has an associated wave with wavelength λ, given by: λ = h/mv.
- The frequency v of the associated wave relates to the particle's energy E: E = hv.
- In the model, the orbit's total length is a whole number multiple of the de Broglie wavelength (2πr = nλ).
Hydrogen Atom Emission Spectrum
- When gas in a tube is excited under low pressure, it emits a line spectrum, meaning only specific wavelengths of light are seen.
- The spectrum of hydrogen appears as a series of colored bands, representing the frequencies of light emitted when electrons transition between energy levels.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
- The image shows a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light.
- The visible light spectrum is a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from approximately 380 nm to 780 nm.
- The diagram includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet (UV) light, infrared (IR) light, microwaves, and radio waves, ordered by wavelength and energy.
Light Characteristics
- Light has both wave and particle aspects.
- Wave Aspect: Light has a specific color (or a mix of colors) corresponding to its wavelength, frequency, and energy.
- Particle Aspect: Light consists of photons, each carrying energy proportional to its frequency: E = hv = hc/λ.
Wave-Particle Duality
- Planck and Einstein established the wave-particle duality of light.
- Louis de Broglie extended this concept to include electrons.
Electromagnetic Wave
- A wave with both an electric field E and a magnetic field B oscillating at the same frequency (ν).
- These fields propagate perpendicularly to each other in a medium, with speed equal to $3 \cdot 10^{8}$ m⋅s⁻¹ in a vacuum.
- A wave is characterized by wavelength (λ), period (T), and frequency (v).
Wavelength, Period & Frequency
- Wavelength (λ): Length of one wave cycle, the distance between two successive peaks.
- Period (T): Time for one wave cycle.
- Frequency (v): Number of cycles per unit time (Hertz, Hz).
- v = 1/T = c/λ (where c is the speed of light).
Electromagnetic Spectrum
- The range of wavelengths and frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
- Includes gamma rays (short wavelengths), radio waves (long wavelengths), and many others in between.
- Most of the electromagnetic spectrum is invisible to the human eye; only a visible portion is seen.
Visible Spectrum
- The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to humans, with wavelengths roughly from 390 nm to 760 nm.
- Includes the colors of the rainbow, from violet to red.
Bohr's Model of the Atom
- The atomic model introduced in 1913 that explains the structure of the hydrogen atom and its emission spectrum based on energy quantization.
- Bohr's Postulates:
- Electrons in a hydrogen atom orbit the nucleus in circular, stationary orbits with constant energy.
- The electron's angular momentum (mvr) is quantized, being an integer multiple of h/2π: mvr = nh/2π.
- When changing orbits, electrons absorb or emit electromagnetic radiation (hv) according to ΔE = |En1 − En2| = hv.
Bohr Model Forces & Energies
- The text describes the forces and energies involved in the Bohr model of the atom.
- The equations show relationships between centripetal force, electrostatic force, kinetic energy, potential energy, and total energy of an electron orbiting an atomic nucleus.
Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom
- Constants:
- k = 1 / 4πε₀
- ε₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C²N⁻¹m⁻² (permittivity of free space)
- Equations:
- $E_{T} = -\frac{Ke^{2}}{r} + \frac{Ke^{2}}{2r} = -\frac{Ke^{2}}{2r}$
- $mev^{2} = \frac{Ke^{2}}{r}$
- $mev^{2} = \frac{Ke^{2}}{2r}$
Orbital Radius & Energy Levels
- Combining equations leads to the formula for the radius of the orbit: $r = \frac{n^{2}\times h^{2}}{4\pi^{2} \times K \times m \times e^{2}}$.
- For n = 1, r = 0.529 Å (the first Bohr radius).
- The total energy as a function of n is: $E_{T} = -\frac{2K^{2} \pi^{2} m e^{4}}{h^{2}} \times \frac{1}{n^{2}}$.
- For n = 1: $E_{T} = -\frac{2K^{2} \pi^{2} m e^{4}}{h^{2}}$.
- $E_{n} = E_{1} = -\frac{2K^{2}\pi^{2} \times m \times e^{4}}{h^{2} \times n^{2}} = -21.76 \times 10^{-19} J = -13.6 eV$. (Ground state energy of hydrogen)
Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom
- States with higher n values correspond to excited states of the electron.
- The formula $E_n = \frac{E_1}{n^2}$ calculates the energy of a state with quantum number n.
- The ionization energy of hydrogen (E1) is -13.6 eV.
Energy Level Diagram
- The diagram shows the energy levels of the hydrogen atom, with negative energies indicating a bound electron.
- The energy levels are discrete, meaning the electron can only exist at specific energy values.
- Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the electron completely from the atom.
Electron Behavior
- Electrons stay in a specific energy level without emitting energy.
- When the electron moves to a lower energy level, it emits radiation, with energy equal to the energy difference between the levels.
- The energy of emitted radiation can be calculated using Planck's equation: $E_n2 − E_n1 = hν = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$.
Bohr Model Summary
- Bohr's model successfully explains the hydrogen atom's emission spectrum and the concept of quantized energy levels.
- It serves as a foundation in understanding atomic structure and how energy is related to electron transitions.
