This resource delves into the various models of the atom, from J.J. Thomson's "plum pudding" model to Rutherford's nuclear model and Bohr's quantized orbits. It explores the limitations of these classical models and introduces the Quantum-Mechanical Model, highlighting advancements in particle physics, including the role of particle accelerators and the discovery of quarks and leptons. The document also discusses key concepts such as temperature, particle collisions, and the significance of the Higgs boson as the final element of the Standard Model.

  1. The Standard Modelof the Atom

  2. Reminders • In-class Quiz #6 today (start or end of class?) • Mallard-based reading quiz due prior to start of class on Thursday, April 24 • LAB D1-LFA: Light From Atomsdue by 4:00 PM Friday (last lab). • Optional CCR extra credit project due May 1 • Final exam: Monday, May 5, 7:50 AM

  3. First Model of the Atom

  4. J. J. Thomson Model • “Plumb pudding” model based on electrostatics • An amorphous body combined of positive and negative charge. • The – electrons are more or less randomly distributed and the positively charged “pudding” holds it all together.

  5. Rutherford’s Scattering Experiment • Scattering experiments showed the pudding model was wrong. • Atoms of metal (Au) scattered electrons directly back to the source. • Rutherford concluded there must be a “solid” nuclear mass at the center of atoms.

  6. Rutherford’s Model of the Atom • A nucleus of p+ and no and orbiting e– • A “solar system” model with a major problem. • Acceleration of electrons results in emission of radiation.

  7. Bohr’s Model of the Atom • Bohr assumes that the energy of the photon is quantized and thus the orbits are fixed. • E = hf = hc/λ (λ discrete) • Photons are emitted when electrons drop to lower energy orbits. • Energy required by electrons to move up.

  8. The Bohr Model 1 Successes Kirchhoff’s Radiation Laws • Accurately predicted energy levels for the single-atom hydrogen, H; cf. Rydberg equation: • Accurately predicted wave-lengths of light for H atom while accounting for Kirchhoff’s radiation laws.

  9. The Bohr Model 2 Failures • Spectra of multi-electron atoms could not be explained. • Could not explain the doubling of spectral lines in the presence of magnetic fields (Zeeman Effect). • Intensity of different spectral lines could not be explained. • Could not explain Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle

  10. Quantum-Mechanical Model of Atom • Bohr’s orbits for electrons are replaced by probability distributions and include “spin” states (E. Schroedinger and W. Heisenburg). • Probing of the nucleus with “atomic knives” shows the nucleus to be made up of more than just neutrons and protons. • Enter the quarks…

  11. But first a thought… • Particle colliders such as the FermiLabTevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider allow us to look back in time to the earliest state of the universe! • In the beginning (as with the Big Bang) the universe was hot and compressed – just like the conditions that prevail within a particle accelerator’s detectors.

  12. Thoughts about Temperature • What is temperature? • Multiple scales: • Fahrenheit (oF) • Celsius (oC) • Kelvin (K) – a.k.a. “absolute” temperature • Relationship between temperature K and energy • <1/2mv2> = 3/2kT (monatomic gas) • v is proportional to T (K) to the power of 1/2

  13. Particle Accelerators • Atomic “knives” cut to the heart of the nucleus. • Charged particles are accelerated in large magnetic rings with electric fields and are forced to collide with other such particles. • Collisions occur in large detectors that show results of collisions.

  14. Colliders and Collisions

  15. Making Sense of Scattering Results • Decay products are observed the conserve charge, spin, parity, as well as mass-energy, etc. • By varying electrical and magnetic fields and measuring the deflections of particles, protons, neutrons, and sub-atomic particles (even anti-matter) can be detected. • At higher energies, other strange materials result from the collisions. • When protons and anti-protons collide, they produce pure energy. • A “particle zoo” results from such collisions. • To make sense of the data, an even smaller set of objects called “quarks” was hypothesized to exist.

  16. Subatomic Particles • A hadron is a composite particle made of hypothetical quarks held together by the strong force (in the same way at that atoms are held together by electrical force). • Hadrons are categorized into two families: • Baryons, such as protons and neutrons, made of three quarks and • Mesons, such as pions, made of one quark and one antiquark.

  17. The Standard Model • Quarks are subatomic particles carrying a fractional electric charge, spin, and parity that are postulated as building blocks of the hadrons. • Leptons are subatomic particles that do not take part in the strong interaction. • “Strong” and “weak” forces operate only within the nucleus.

  18. Other Definitions / Particles • A baryon is a subatomic particle, such as a nucleon or hyperon, that has a mass equal to or greater than that of a proton. • The Higgs boson is a massive elementary particle predicted to exist by the Standard Model of particle physics. It was discovered last year at CERN – the last missing piece of the nuclear puzzle.
