2nd Exam Flashcards
Chapters 9&10: Atomic structure and spectra, and Molecular structure
principle QN
n, determines energy of the orbital
orbital angular momentum QNs
l, magnitude ml, z component
Spin QN
s, up or down, intrinsic angular momentum of a particle
spin projection QN
ms,
radial distribution function
probability of finding e in a volume element defined by the two walls (r and r+dr)
fermion
particle coresponding to matter with a 1/2 integer spin (proton, nutron, electron)
Boson
integer spin (photons) responsible for bonding fermions together
Bohr radius
a
wavenember
cm^-1
atomic orbital
:
pauli principle
when lables of 2 identical fermions are exchanged, the wavefunction must change sign
Pauli exclusion principle
no more than 2 e’s in an orbital, if 2 are in orbital spins must be paired
multiplicity
2S+1,
Slader determinant
a systematic way to determine wavefunc for many e attoms in accordance with Pauli principle
reduced mass
