Lecture 10 Flashcards
Mass energy equivalence
E = mc^2
deBroglie wavelength
λ = (h)/(mn) = h/p
m - mass in kg
n - velocity (m/s)
h - Planck constant (Js)
p- momentum
Quantum mechanical model
Used orbitals instead of orbits.
Better model than Bohr because it accurately explains and predicts what we currently know about electron and atom behavior and characteristics
Electron energy
Proportional to Ψ and had the same energies for H atoms as Bohr model
Spatial distribution
Proportional to Ψ^2
Schrödinger wave equation
Allows us to solve for the energy stages associated with a particular atomic orbital
H Ψ = E Ψ
Ψ - wave function
E - energy of atom
H - Hamiltonian
Ψ
Wave function
Atomic orbital
Wave function associated with energy state of atom
Probability distribution
Spatial distribution
Probability density
n
- Principal quantum number
- SIZE of orbital/distance from nucleus ENERGY LEVEL
ℓ
- Angular momentum quantum number
- from 0 to n-1
- SHAPE of orbital or SUBLEVELS
s p d f g
m ℓ
- magnetic quantum number
- -ℓ to ℓ
- spatial ORIENTATION if the orbital
Orbital
An area where the probability of finding an electron is high
What do energy levels if the H atom depend on?
Only the n value
