Quantum Mechanics Chapters 4 & 5
WAY WAY BACK IN TIME... • Greek philosopher Democritus (460-370 BCE.) • substances that comprised nature • empty space • tiny particles • “atoms”
Democritus • different kinds of atoms existed • not able to be broken down by ordinary means
Aristotle • More popular • a contemporary of Democritus • matter was a continuous substance which he called "hyle“ • this idea was accepted without support for nearly two thousand years.
pseudo- science • explained natural phenomena in philosophical ways • without experimentation • without logic • maggots come from rotting meat • frogs cause warts
Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle and John Dalton • Questioned natural occurrences • conducted experiments • controlled variables • made observations • collected data • data and observations used to support hypotheses
John Dalton • matter is particulate in nature • atoms of a single element are identical • atoms of different elements are different from each other • Dalton's hypothesis explained the observations • first modern atomic theory
J.J. Thomson • Are atoms really the smallest particles? • Cathode ray tubes • Rays originated at the cathode (negative electrode) and traveled toward the anode (positive electrode). • Produced rays composed of negatively charged subatomic particles • he called particles electrons (e-). • mathematically calculated the electron's mass to charge ratio
Oil Drop Experiment • Robert Millikan • determined the charge of a single electron (-1) • Oil Drop Experiment
Thomson Atom • Plum Pudding Model • Electrons
Atomic Research • Ernest Rutherford • Niels Bohr • Hans Geiger • Ernest Marsden • Experiment to study structure of atom • Gold Foil Experiment
Gold Foil Experiment • Ernest Rutherford • positively charged helium nuclei (alpha () particles) propelled at high speed toward a thin sheet (tissue paper-like) of gold foil surrounded by a fluorescent screen
Experimental Results: • 1. Most of particles pass straight through foil • 2. Some particles are slightly deflected • 3. A few particles (1 per 8000) are deflected greatly. Nearly bounce back to origin.
Conclusions based on experimental data: • 1. The atom is mostly space. • 2. Mild deflection was caused by repulsion of similar electrostatic charge. Therefore, the atom has a positive region. 'Protons“ • 3. The positive core is very small (1 x 10-12 of total atomic volume) and contains most of the atom's mass. 'Nucleus'
Eugene Goldstein • showed that protons created rays in a cathode ray tube just as the electrons had done • traveled in the opposite direction. (anode to cathode) • concluded that a proton is equal but opposite in charge to the electron, or 1+, and approximately 1836 times more massive
Thomson's observation • Atoms that are • chemically identical can have variable mass
James Chadwick • credited with the discovery of the neutral subatomic particle - the neutron • Walter Bothe obtained initial evidence nearly two years before Chadwick's experiments • Neutrons have a mass nearly identical to that of the proton, but no electrical charge.
Explanation lies with the neutrons • Isotopes • Atoms of the same element containing different numbers of neutrons. • Nuclide • a particular isotope • Each isotope acts the same in chemical reaction • Each nuclide will produce a product of different mass.
Proton + Neutron Electron - Deuterium 1 proton, 1 electron, 1 neutron Protium 1 proton, 1 electron Hydrogen isotopes Tritium 1 proton, 1 electron, 2 neutrons
TO SUMMARIZE... • The atom is the smallest particle of matter that cannot be chemically subdivided. • Composed of two regions and three primary subatomic particles. • Nucleus • very small • positively charged • dense. • Protons • Neutrons • Electron Cloud • Electrons • orbit the nucleus. • Small point-like negative charges
IN PERFECT BALANCE • The atom is electrically neutral • contain equal number of: • protons (positive charges) and • electrons (negative charges).
Niels Bohr • 1913 • Introduced ‘Planetary Model’
Planetary Model • Gravity and Inertia
Attractive force: Gravity Pulls planet toward sun Repulsive force: Inertia Pushes planet in a straight line away from sun Attractive force: + / - charges + nucleus pulls – electrons toward it Repulsive force: Solar SystemAtom
It Ought to Go SPLAT! • “A charged particle constrained to move in curved path … radiates energy according to Maxwell equations.” Some basic principles of synchrotron radiation. (document prepared by Antonio Juarez-Reyes, AMLM group, 2001) • Electrons – constant orbit • Energy drain • and the atom goes SPLAT!
Electromagnetic Radiation • c = 3.0 X 108 m/s Wavelength =λ Frequency = f (υ)

Electromagnetic Radiation • Irwin Schrodinger • Developed the ‘Wave Equation’ • to support de Broglie’s idea of the dual nature of light
Quantum Leap • Bohr’s Planetary Model is used to explain the spectral lines produced by atoms. • Quantum leap animation
Quantum Leap • The color of light indicates its wavelength • A particular wavelength has a definite frequency • A particular wavelength has a definite amount ofenergy
Riding the Wave (Equation) • The Wave Equation • confirmed Bohr’s theory of quantized energy levels. • Treating electrons as waves, explains why the tiny negative electrons are not drawn into the more massive and positive nucleus

QUANTUM MECHANICS • Electrons do not obey the laws of classical or Newtonian physics • A new science to describe the laws of small particles was established
LOOK! IT ISN'T THERE! • Uncertainty principle • Not possible to locate an electron's exact position • Position and momentum cannot be determined at the same time • to determine one you effect a change in the other • Electrons - only "seen” when they jump from a higher to lower energy level. • once electron is "seen," its direction and speed are different from what they were prior to observation. • Determining position changes its momentum. • Applies to electron when it is considered a particle Werner Heisenberg
WAVE REVIEWS! • Irwin Schrodinger • Wave equation • helps locate probable regions of electron population if considered it to be like a wave. • general paths of the electrons around the nucleus can be determined
