Ch6. Quantum Theory of the Hydrogen Atom Introduction 1945 Schrodinger Schrodinger equation : If only I knew more mathematics wave function analytical solution Schrodinger Equation for the Hydrogen Atom Symmetry suggests spherical polar coordinate. We shall consider the proton to be stationary ( the correction for proton motion is simply a matter of replacing the electron mass m by the reduced mass m ). 1

Principal Quantum Number n: Quantization of energy Classically the total energy can have any value, but in the Hydrogen, the electron can only have discrete value: E n me 1 E = =, n= 1,2,3... 32πε 1 2 2 2 2 2 0 n n where E 1 = -13.6eV. The quantization of the electron energy in the hydrogen atom is described 11
by the principal quantum number n. Orbital Quantum Number l: Quantization of angular momentum magnitude Like total energy E, angular momentum is both conserved and quantized. And For example: L= l( l+ 1), l = 0,1,2,...( n 1) If 34 l = 2, L= l( l+ 1) = 2(2 + 1) = 6 = 2.6 10 J. s By contrast the orbital angular momentum of the earth is 2.7x10 40 J.s, so large that the separation into discrete angular momentum state cannot be experimentally observed. Designation of Angular Momentum States 12
It is customary to specify electron angular states by a letter: s: sharp, p: principal, d: diffuse, f: fundamental 13
For example: A state in which n= 2, l = 0 is a 2s state 14
A state in which n= 3, l = 2 is a 3d state! Magnetic Quantum Number m l : Quantization of angular momentum direction L= l( l+ 1) L L L An electron revolving about a nucleus is a minute current loop and has a magnetic field like that of a magnetic dipole. 15
Hence an atomic electron that possesses angular momentum interacts with an external magnetic field B. m l The magnetic quantum number specifies the direction of L by determining the component of L in the field direction. This phenomenon is often referred to as space quantization. 16
Space quantization: Lz = ml, ml = 0, ± 1, ± 2,... ± l or l ml + l The number of possible orientations of L in a magnetic field is 2l + 1. For example: When l = 2, L z = 2, 1, 0, 1, 2 17
**In the absence of an external magnetic field, the direction of the z axis is arbitrary. What must be true is that the component of L in any direction we choose is m. What an external magnetic field does is l 18
to provide an experimentally meaningful reference direction ( z ) Why is only one component of L ( L z ) quantized? The answer is related to the fact that L can never point to any specific direction but instead is somewhere on a cone in space such that it projection Lz is m. Were this not so, the uncertainty principle would be violated. l 19

Verify that the average value of 1/r for a 1s electron in the hydrogen exp( r/ a0 ) atom is 1/a 0. Ψ 1s = 3/2 π a0 Sol: Example How much more likely is a 1s electron in a hydrogen atom to be at the distance a 0 from the nucleus than at the distance a 0 /2? Sol: 27
The electron is 47% more likely to be a 0 from the nucleus than half that distance. 2 Ψ 28

The pronounced lobe patterns characteristic of many of the states turn out to be significant in chemistry since these patterns help determine the manner in which adjacent atoms in a molecules interact. 35
Selection Rule: (or quantum electrodynamics ), it is found that only transitions between states of different n that can occur are those in which the orbital quantum number l change by +1 or -1 and the m l magnetic quantum number does not change or changes by +1 or -1. 36
