7. Classic theory Quantum theory
matter : particle energy is same
mass as matter !
energy: continuous ,
wavelike

8. (1) Blackbody radiation radiation depend on Temp
3 paradoxes :
(1) Blackbody radiation radiation depend on Temp
Plank : energy is quantized (quanta)
 only certain values allowed
(2) Photoelectric effect
Einstein : light has particulate behavior
 photon
(3) Atomic line spectra
Bohr : energy of atoms is quantized photon emitted when electron change orbit

9. Observation : solid body (metal) is heat T : 750℃ T > 1200℃
Planck’s eqn (1900):
Observation : solid body (metal) is heat
T : 750℃ T > 1200℃
metal → dull red → brighter → brilliant white light
Classical physics : atoms & molecules could emit or
absorb any arbitrary amount of E
 continue
Planck proposal : energy , like matter , is discontinuous
 quantum of energy
& the energy DE=nhn n : positive integer
h : 6.6210-34 JS
 An atom can emit only certain amounts of energy
E = hn , 2hn , 3hn ,  is not continuous but quantized

10. Einstein & the photoelectric effect (1905
(1) Photons : particles of light
n > n0  photon current
n < n0  no e－ ejected
classical : energy associate intensity
weak blue light &
intense red light

11. b) light : dual nature Einstein & the photoelectric effect (1905)
(2) Ephoton = hn = hc/l
E = mc 
a) energy is quantized
light wave
photon (particle)
mass
Speed of light
energy
b) light : dual nature

13. Bohr’s postulation (for hydrogen atom)
a) e moving around the nucleus in a circular orbit
 Planetary model
b) only a limited number of orbits with certain E are allow  orbits are quantized
c) E of electrons in orbit  its distance from nucleus
E =  (Z2 / n2)
d) Electrons can pass from one allowed orbit to another.
Fig. 2.9

14. lower E → higher E ni < nf
DE > 0 absorption spectrum
higher E → lower E ni > nf
DE < 0 emission spectrum (fire works)
Niel Bohr had tied the unseen (interior of the atom)
to the seen (spectrum)
But the model is only good for one e atom:
H , He+ , Li2+

16. wave mechanics or quantum mechanics (A) Louis de Broglie (1982 – 1987)
light wave
photon
How about matter ?
matters have both
wave & particle behavior
2pr = nl
mnr = n(h/2p) h
 l = ── mn
wave properties
particle properties

17. (B) Schrödinger’s model of H atom & wave function () = f (x, y, z)
an electron in an atom could be described by equation for wave motion
 wave function ()
 characterize the e as a matter wave.

18.  E is quantized : only certain  are allowed & each  with allowed E.
(2) Schrödinger’s theory choose to define the E of e precisely, i.e. can only describe the probability of electron.
 E is quantized : only certain  are allowed & each  with allowed E.
 electron density = probability of finding the e = 2
 orbitals : specific wave functions for a given e () The matter waves for the allow E states.
orbits : Bohr’s model , was a path supposedly followed by the electron.

19. h/2 ( h= h/2) (C) The uncertainty principle (1927)
Heisenberg: It’s impossible to know simultaneously both the momentum & the position of a particle at a given time with certainty.
only probability of finding an e with a given energy a given space.
 (DX)(DP) 
(DX)(Dmν)  h/4p
h/2
( h= h/2)

22. (1)The principle quantum number (n)
Quantum Numbers
3 quantum numbers are required to describe the distribution of e in atoms
(1)The principle quantum number (n)
(a) n = 1, 2, 3,……..∞ (shell)
(b) related to the size & energy of the orbital.
(c) the bigger the n, the larger the orbital, the less stable the orbital.

23. (2) The angular momentum quantum number ( l )
(a) l = 0,1, 2, 3,……., n－ (subshells)
(b) tell the orbital shapes or types.
(c)
(3) The magnetic quantum number （ml）
a) ml = ﹣l , －l +1 , …, 0 , … , ( l-1 ) , l
 ( 2l + 1 ) integral values
b) relates to the orientation of the orbital in space l 1 2 3 4

29. (1) n, l, ml : define the orbital for an electron
(2) for muti-electron atom : we need one more quantum number：electron spin ( ms )
ms = + ½ , －½
(3) the Pauli exclusion principle
no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms)
 no atomic orbital can contain more than two electrons (opposite spins)
He : 1s2 , (n, l, ml, ms) = (1, 0, 0, ½)
(1, 0, 0, －½) 

30. (4) Paramagnetic : can be attracted by a magnetic fied
 atoms contain upaired e.
Diamagnetic : e spin are paired with partners
 magnetic effects cancel out.
odd / even e ？

31. (1) For polyelectronic atoms, we need electron configuration to understand electrons behavior.
(2) electron configuration : how the electrons are
distributes among the
various atomic orbitals.
(3) order of subshell E － depend on n & l
a) E ↑ with “ n＋l ” value ↑
b) if same value of （n＋l）, then lower n lower E

32. (4) Effective nuclear charge (Zeff)
a) polyelectronic atoms with two type of interactions
nucleus － electron attraction, Zeff ↑
electron － electron repulsions, Z eff ↓
b) ∵ atomic E has a value,
stronger attractions, lower E
but repulsions, higher E -

33. (1) ground state electron configuration
(2) Hund’s rule :
the most stable arrangement of e in subshell (p, d, f) is that with the maximum number of unpaired e.
