Week 4Wave Mechanics
From previous
lecture we know
that, Light as well
as heat energy
exhibits both wave
and particle nature
under suitable
conditions = Wave

AL
L. de Broglie
(1892-1987)
In 1924, de Broglie proposed that if
energy is particle like, perhaps
matter is wavelike
According to his theory, e", p* and
even atom, when in motion
possessed wave properties and could
be associated with A, v and A = this is
WAVE MECHANICS
For light: E=hv=hce/a
For particles: E = mc? (Einstein)
Therefore, |mc=h /
and for particles
(mass)x(velocity) =h / 2* If particle travel in waves, e should exhibit
diffraction & interference
- in 1927, Davisson & Germer guided a beam of
electrons at nickel crystal and obtain a diffraction
pattern. Ex: see Fig. 7.14 of page 271 of your
reference Silberg Chemistry book
Do a math:
a) a stone of mass 100gm moving with a velocity
10m/s. What is the de Broglie’s 4 for the stone?
b) ane in H atom has a mass 9.1091<107* gm and
moves with a velocity 2.188x10* cm/s. what is the
de Broglie’s 4?
Wave length of X-rays is Inm = 110° m.
Compare X-rays ) with de Broglie’s A.Uncertainty Principle
So, in .
macroscopic
world, a moving
particle has a
definite location .
at any instant
and a wave is
spread out in
space.
W. Heisenberg
1901-1976
Ifan e has the properties of both a
particle and a wave, so we should be
able to determine the location of e in the
atom.
In 1927, W. Heisenberg postulated, The
Uncertainty principle, which states that
it is impossible to know simultaneously
the exact position and momentum
(velocity) of a particle/ electron.
Heisenberg’s relationship is:
Ax.m Au2>h/2a
This uncertainty product is negligible
in case of large objects
It means that we can not assign fixed
path for e, such as circular orbits of
Bohr’s model
At best we can do is find the probability
of finding an e with a probable velocity.¢ Using this idea, Schrodinger developed a
mathematical model based on wave
mathematics to describe the position of e
in an atom=calculation of the probability
of finding e at various points at atom.

Orbital
By examining the probabilities given by a particular
orbital, a "shape" of the orbital can be seen. This shape
represents a space around the nucleus that the electron is
most likely to be found.
The many solutions to Schrodinger's equation can be
classified by the shape that is from their probability
distributions, called orbital, like s, p, and d-type, as
shown above. Most orbital types have several possible
orientations too.
An atomic orbital is specified by three quantum
numbers.
One is related to orbital’s size, another its shape third its
orientation in spaceThose are principal (7), angular (J), and magnetic
(m) quantum numbers

PeShells and Subshells
An atomic orbital is
defined by 3 quantum
numbers:
= nim
Electrons are arranged in
shells and
subshells of
ORBITALS .
n— shell
1 ~ subshell
m— designates an
orbital within a
subshell
For, n= 1,1=0 andm=
0
There is only one
subshell and that
subshell has a single
orbital
(m has a single value --->
1 orbital)
This subshell is labeled Ss
and we call this orbital
Is
Each shell has 1 orbital
labeled s.
It is SPHERICAL in
shape.p Orbital
For, n=2, 1=0 and 1
There are 2 types of
orbitals
— 2 subshells
Forl=0 m=0
this is a s subshell
Forl=1 m,=-1,0,+1
this is a p subshell
with 3 orbitals
& d Orbital
For n=3,
what are the values of 1?
1=0, 1,2
and so there are 3 subshells
in the shell.

* The spin quantum value indicates that the
electron is spinning on its axis in one
direction (clockwise/anti clockwise) or the
opposite.
* It can have a value of-1/2 or +1/2 only
* The value of s does not depend on any other
quantum number
* These spins are also designated by arrows
pointing upwards and downwards as | |Do this math

not allowable and why?

* In 1925, Wolfgang Pauli discover the principle that
governs the arrangements of electrons in many
electron atoms
* The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two
electrons in an atom can have the same set of
four quantum numbers n, |, m, s.
* For a given orbital, thus e value of n, I,m are fixed
* Thus if we want to put more than one e in an
orbital and satisfy the Pauli exclusion principle, our
only option is to assign different values of s to
those two e
* We know that their can be only two s value
possible for e
* We conclude that, an orbital can hold a max. of
two e, and they must have opposite spin.Example of Pauli’s Exclusion Principal:
* Consider the second shell (n=2)
* There are 4 orbitals, one s orbital (I=0) and three p
orbitals (I=1)

Aufbau or Building up rule
Electrons tend to occupy the
available orbitals in increasing
order of energies, the orbital of
lower energy being filled first. This
is building up/Aufbau principle
(n+) rule
The energy of an orbital is
determined by the sum of principle
quantum number (n) & the angular
quantum number (1), this is (n+1)

«If in case of two orbital having the
same (n+l) value, the orbital with
with lower value of n has lower
energy.The relation between orbital filling and the periodic table
