Study Notes
The Rydberg Equation
- The Rydberg equation, a generalization of Balmer's equation, describes the wavelengths of all hydrogen spectral lines.
- The equation is: 1/λ = RH (1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2), where λ is wavelength, RH is the Rydberg constant, and n1 and n2 are integers with n2 larger than n1.
The Hydrogen Spectrum
- The hydrogen spectrum encompasses lines in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions.
- Different series of lines correspond to different n1 values:
- Lyman series (n1 = 1): ultraviolet
- Balmer series (n1 = 2): visible
- Paschen series (n1 = 3): infrared
- Brackett series (n1 = 4): infrared
- Pfund series (n1 = 5): infrared
Bohr's Model of the Atom
- Bohr's model explained the hydrogen spectrum by applying Rutherford's planetary model and Planck's quantum theory.
- Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific circular orbits with quantized energy levels.
- Energy is emitted or absorbed only when electrons transition between these orbits.
- The energy emitted or absorbed corresponds to the difference in energy between the orbits and is given by E = hν = hc/λ.
- h is Planck's constant, ν is frequency, c is the speed of light, and λ is wavelength.
The Nature of Light
- Line spectra are produced by excited atoms, where only specific wavelengths are emitted.
- Continuous spectra are produced by sources emitting light across a continuous range of wavelengths.
- Continuous spectra are observed in phenomena like rainbows, stars, and incandescent bulbs.
Electron Spin
- The Pauli Exclusion Principle: no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
- Electron spin: electrons have an intrinsic property, called spin, which is quantized and contributes to the magnetic field.
- This spin property leads to the splitting of spectral lines into closely spaced pairs.
Electron Configuration
- Electron configuration describes the distribution of electrons among the atom's energy levels and orbital shapes.
- Ground state refers to the most stable electron configuration, with electrons in the lowest energy states.
VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)
- This model explains molecular shape based on the repulsion between electron domains around a central atom.
- Electron domains represent the regions of highest electron probability and can correspond to single bonds, multiple bonds, or lone pairs.
- The VSEPR model predicts electron-domain geometry, the arrangement of electron domains, and molecular geometry, the arrangement of only atoms in a molecule.
Redox Reactions (Half-Reaction Method)
- Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons.
- The half-reaction method breaks down redox reactions into oxidation and reduction half-reactions.
- Steps in the half-reaction method include:
- Writing the unbalanced half-reactions.
- Balancing elements other than O and H.
- Balancing oxygen by adding water molecules.
- Balancing hydrogen by adding H+ ions (in acidic solution).
- Balancing charge by adding electrons (e-).
- Multiplying half-reactions to equalize the number of electrons transferred.
- Adding the half-reactions and canceling common species .
- Adjusting the coefficients in the final balanced equation if necessary.
