Know: • E = hν • c = λν • photons: quantized energy • photoelectric effect • line spectra • Bohr model • electronic transitions Exam 1: Monday, Feb 9 @ 6:30!!! Form a study group, use the CRC, take advantage of SI (info on web), use the online resources, and work those problems— practice, practice, practice Bonus deadline for Skill Check Tests 3 & 4 is Jan 29 Drop/add ends Wednesday, Jan 21 Sheets Page 2 Lecture 3 Examples: a. What is the frequency of light if λ = 450 nm? b. What is the energy of one photon of 450 nm light? NOTE: E = hν is only for the energy of 1 photon! c. What is the energy of 1 mole of photons of 450 nm light? (Youʼll see these concepts again when we hit BLB Chap 18 & throughout the semester!) h = 6.63 !10 "34 J s E = h# c = !" " = c ! Sheets Page 5 Lecture 3 Atomic spectra (cont.) • observation of line spectra implies that atoms have (quantized) frequencies & energy levels • in other words, atoms can have only preset energy values; most energy values cannot occur; only certain energy changes are possible for electrons • frequencies (ν) reflect of atoms • atoms have characteristic frequencies! Sheets Page 6 Lecture 3 Bohr model of H atom 1. atom is similar to planetary system with e– orbiting central nucleus (p+) 2. usual laws of physics hold except that only certain specific radii (orbits) are allowed; n = 1, 2, 3, 4, … 3. energies of the allowed states are En = !RH 1 n 2 " # $ % & ' n = 1, 2, 3, 4, … ∞ • RH = Rydberg constant = 2.18 × 10–18 J • n = integer, principal quantum number • as the allowed radii increase in a quantal fashion by n2, E decreases by 1/n2 NOTE: En is always negative! E ! Q 1 Q 2 d Sheets Page 7 Lecture 3 Electronic transitions in hydrogen • ground state is most stable with the largest (lowest) negative energy Sheets Page 10 Lecture 3 Example: Which of the following electronic transitions of the hydrogen atom emits a photon of the shortest wavelength? A. n = 6 → n = 3 B. n = 1 → n = 2 C. n = 3 → n = 2 D. n = 2 → n = 1 E. n = 2 → n = 4 Sheets Page 11 Lecture 3 Before next class: Read: BLB 6.3–6.6 HW: BLB 6:33,39,51,54 Sup 6:6,7,8,10—no Sup 6.9!!!
