Many-electron atoms At present it is well known for you that The Atom - electrons confined in Coulomb field of a nucleus Au v Rutherford (also Geiger-Marsden) Experiment (1911): Measured angular dependence of particles (He ions) scattered from gold foil. The results: • Mostly scattering at small angles. But… • Occasional scatterings at large angles (even > 90 o ) Something massive in there ! Conclusion: Most of atomic mass is concentrated in a small region of the atom a nucleus! Recall some history: Early sugession for the quantum nature of atoms: (nm) Atomic hydrogen Discrete emission and absorption spectra: • When excited in an electrical discharge, atoms emitted radiation only at discrete wavelengths • Different emission spectra for different atoms. This could not be explained by classical physics. +Ze -e F There is also a BIG PROBLEM with the classical picture: As the electron moves in its circular orbit, it is ACCELERATING radiates electromagnetic energy would continuously lose energy and spiral into the nucleus (in about 10 -9 sec). We must apply QUANTUM MECHANICS to ATOMS §1. Hydrogen atom: 1.1 Potential energy of the electron Potential energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom in the hydrogen atom: r e )r(U 2 r U(r) 0 229 0 C/Nm109 4 1 2 2 )( r e r rU f • Make a test: This potential function implies actually the Coulomb force between the electron & the nucleus x y z r • The origin of coordinate system is at the center of mass of the system (nucleus & electron). • U depends on r, but not on directions in the space. Such a potential is called spherically symmetrical. • The problem is 3-D. Due to the spherical symmetry it is more convenient to use the spherical coordinates, than Cartersian. )()()( )( 2 2 22 xExxU dx xd m EzyxU z x y x x x m ),,( )()()( 2 2 2 2 2 2 22 ErU rrr r rrm )( sin 1 sin sin 11 2 2 2 222 2 2 2 1.2 The time independent SEQ: • Recall 1-D time independent SEQ: • The 3-D time independent SEQ is as follows: • For the hyrdrogen atom, the potential function U(x,y,z) = U(r), and the SEQ in the spherical coordinate system is r e )r(U 2 Solving and finding the eigenvalues for E and the eigenfunctions ψ requires some mathematical preparation. In our course of general physics, we will concentrate on the physical implications of mathematical solutions. 1.3 Energy levels of the electron in the hydrogen atom: As you have seen, in the solving the SEQ, the physical conditions for the wave function (finiteness, single valuedness, continuosness) lead to the consequence that the energy of the system can not have continuum values, but must accept a discrete set of values: “the energy levels”. The energy levels of the electron in the hydrogen atom is found to be 22 o 2 n n eV6.13 n 1 a2 e E , .3,2,1n 2 2 0 em a = “Bohr radius” = 0.053 nm -15 -10 -5 0 0 5 10 15 20 r/a 0 E (eV) U(r) -15 0 0 20 E 2 E 1 E 3 * Notes: Before Schrödinger, N. Bohr proposed the same scheme of energy levels for the hydrogen atom in his theory (1913). But in the Bohr’s theory the concept of discrete energy levels was introduced as a postulate. The values of the energy levels are determined by fitting in the experimental discrete spectra of the hydrogen atom. 2 13.6 eV n E n 2 2 1 1 13.6 eV i f n n i f E n n we have 3 2 1 1 13.6 eV 1.9eV 9 4 photon E E 1240eV nm 656nm 1.9eV photon hc E (nm) Atomic hydrogen Recall that the discrete spectra of the hydrogen atom is related to the optical transitions of between the electron’s energy levels. Example: An electron, initially excited to the n = 3 energy level of the hydrogen atom, falls to the n = 2 level, emitting a photon in the process.

The spherically symmetric states: We write here the wave functions for wavefunctions with no angular dependence. These are called “s-states”. For them, l = 0 and m = 0, the function Y 00 = constant, and the part R n0 (r) obeys the ‘radial SEQ’ which takes the form: r R 30 r 15a 0 0 0 r R 20 10a 0 0 0 0.5 R 10 0 0 4a 0 0 3/ 2 00 0,3 3 2 2 3)( ar e a r a r rR o ar e a r rR 2/ 0 0,2 2 1)( )r(RE)r(R r e r r r 1 m2 0nn0n 2 2 22 )r(R),,r( 0n s-state wavefunction: (l=0) o ar erR / 0,1 )( [...]... principle: To have a model for the structure of many-electron atom we need an additional principle - the exclusion principle From spectra of complex atoms, Wolfgang Pauli (1925) deduced the following rule: “Pauli Exclusion Principle” “No two electrons can be in the same quantum state, i.e in a given atom they cannot have the same set of quantum numbers n, l, ml , ms” I.e., every atomic orbital with n,l,ml... 4, 2, -1/2) m= -l, -(l -1), … (l-1), l n>l 2 Which of the following atomic electron configurations violates the Pauli exclusion principle?
