The document discusses the history of discoveries related to atomic structure from the 1800s to the early 1900s. It summarizes key experiments and findings, including: - Faraday's discovery of cathode rays in 1838 - J.J. Thomson's discovery in 1897 that cathode rays were composed of negatively charged particles (electrons) - Millikan's oil drop experiment between 1909-1913 which measured the charge of an electron - Rutherford's gold foil experiments between 1907-1911 which showed that the positive charge and mass of atoms were concentrated in a small nucleus - Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom in 1913 which proposed that electrons orbited the nucleus in discrete energy levels

The Photoelectric Effect

Max Plancks Hypothesis


Energy is absorbed or emitted in discrete amounts.
May be in multiples of these discrete amounts
Quantum: The smallest amount of energy:
E = h
Plancks constant: h = 6.626 X 10-34 J s

A full spectrum beam of light hits a metal surface


Energy transferred to electrons in metal creating current
Electrons in metal break attraction to metal ions and escape
The energy leaves in discrete packets, not as a single beam
Einstein called these packets photons.

Einstein
Energy bundled into little packets
Energy of 1 packet= 1 photon= 1 quantum of energy
Ephoton = h

What is the energy of an electron in a


n=4 energy level?

Energy Level Calculations


All calculations done by comparing energy levels
Initial level: Ei =- B/ ni2
Final level: Ef =- B/ nf2
Elevel = -B/nf2 - -B /nf2 = B (1/ni2 1/nf2)
Energy is emitted or absorbed when an electron
moves between energy levels.
High to low level
energy released: atom more stable
Low to high level
energy absorbed: atom less stable
= 0 at a level infinitely far from the nucleus
Ground state: The lowest possible energy level
Excited state: All other levels

Bohrs Hydrogen Atom

Wave Mechanics: Matter as Waves

Niels Bohr (1913): Electron energy (En) was quantized

Light has both wave and particle properties

Only certain specified values allowed (stable orbits)

Wave- light dispersed into a continuous spectrum


Particle- Discrete photons displace electrons

A specified energy value is an energy level of the atom


The energy of each stable orbit En = B/n2

Louis de Broglie (1923)


Matter can behave as both particles & waves
A particle with a mass, m, moving at a speed, v, will have a
wavelength () = h/mv
Prediction of matter waves led to the development of the
electron microscope

n is the quantum number for the atom

Quantum Numbers Summary

Explains some of the finer features of atomic emission spectra


The number can have two values: +1/2 and 1/2
The spin refers to a magnetic field induced by the moving
electric charge of the electron as it spins
The magnetic fields of two electrons with opposite spins cancel
one another; there is no net magnetic field for the pair.
