electronic spectroscopy + IR Flashcards
photoelectron spectroscopy has enough energy to do what
enough energy to ionise
what is einsteins equation involving hv
planks x frequency =
ionisation energy x kinetic energy
what does hv = Ke + Ie tell us
that if we know a photons energy and it’s kinetic energy, we can find it’s ionisation energy
what is the process of photoelectron spectroscopy
shining hv on a sample ionised it and causes it to lose an electron
what is hv
energy of a photon
what does XPS stand for
x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
what is x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy used for + characteristics
- identifying chemical elements present and their environments
- quantitative
- surface selective
ratio of surface to bulk
1 : 10^8
electronic spectrum of the H atom emission spec diagram exp
promoted electron falls to lower energy level and emits a photon.
light is seen as this occurs.
what is an alpha transition
lowest energy transition
the energy level right above the ground state
what is the alpha transition for the lyman series
2
what is the alpha transition for the ballet series
3
what is the alpha transition of the paschen series
4
what is the series limit transition
energy when electron falls from infinity to ground state
highest energy transition
what light is lyman
UV
level 1
what light is balmer
visible light
level 2
what light is paschen
infrared light
level 3
what does the series limit correspond to
the ionisation energy
from the alpha transmission to the series limit transition, what happens to the energy spaces between then
they get smaller
the energy difference is smaller
when light emitted is plotted against energy where does each series go
paschen = smallest energy, all lines have the same light intensity
balmer = middle, all lines have the same light intensity
lymann = highest energy, the same light intensity
in hydrogen atom emission spectra, what series had the highest wavelength
lymann = shortest
balmer = middle
paschen = longest
what is the rydberg equation for v- aka wavenumber
Rh = (1/smaller n2 - 1/larger n2 )
