A Simple Model: The multielectron atom is unsolvable, but simple models go a long way. Section7.8gives energies and orbit radii forone-electron/hydrogenlike atoms. Let us see how useful these are by considering lithium.

(a) Treat one of lithium'sn=1electrons as a single electron in a one-electron atom ofrole="math" localid="1659948261120" Z=3. Find the energy and orbit radius.

(b) The othern=1electron being in the same spatial state. must have the same energy and radius, but we must account for the repulsion between these electrons. Assuming they are roughly one orbit diameter apart, what repulsive energy would they share, and if each claims half this energy. what would be the energies of these two electrons?

(c) Approximately what charge does lithium's lone valence electron orbit, and what radius and energy would it have?

(d) Is in reasonable to dismiss the role of then=1electrons in chemical reactions?

(e) The actual energies of lithium's electrons are about-98eV(twice, of course) and-5.4eV. How good is the model?

(f) Why should the model's prediction for the valence electron's energy differ in the direction it does from the actual value?

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Hydrogen like atom, atomic number, Z=3, Bohr radius, a0=5.2910-11m.

02

Concept of Atomic radii

Expression for atomic radiirnis given by,rn=n2a0Z

Where,Z represents number of protons, nrepresents principal quantum number anda0represents Bohr radius.

03

Determine the energy and radius of the orbit

(a)

The energy of the electron in first orbit

En=(-13.6eV)Zn2E1=(-13.6eV)312E1=-122eV

The radius of the orbit of the electron is,

rn=n2a0Zr1=(1)25.2910-11m(3)r1=1.7610-11m

04

Determine the electric potential between the electrons

(b)

The electric potential between two electron charges

U=140q1q2rU=148.8510-12c2Nm2-1.610-19C23.5210-11mU=6.5410-18J=6.5410-18J1eV1.610-19JU=40.87eV

If half of potential energy added to both of the electron's energy, the new electron energy become

E1'=E1+U2E1'=(-122eV)+(40.87eV)2E1'=-101.6eV

05

Determine the energy of the electrons

(c)

On lithium has one electron on second orbit, so the charge of valance electron orbit of lithium is equal to the charge of one electron.

The charge of valance electron orbit,Qvalence orbit=-1.610-19C

The energy for lithium's valence electron is

En=(-13.6eV)Zn2E2=(-13.6eV)122E2=-3.4eV

The radius of the orbit for lithium's valence electron is

rn=n2a0Zr2=(2)25.2910-11m(1)r2=2.110-10m

06

Determine the function

(d)

The inner orbit electrons are more closely to the neutron so they likely to experience quite high binding energy. This high binding force ceases them to participate in chemical reaction directly through exchanging or sharing. But do play a part in altering the energy and orbit radius of the valence electron due to their shielding of the nucleus. And that does affect the kind of reactions that the valence electron participates in.

07

Determine the function

(e)

Actual energy of lithium's 1s electron is -98eV, but the model predicts the energy approx. -102eV, On the other hand lithium's second orbit electron has energy-5.4eV but the model predicts -3.4eV. Percentage of error in predicting second orbit electron is very large. So, the model is good in predicting energy of smaller orbit's electron, but not good for higher orbit's electron.

08

Determine the function

(f)

The valence electrons predicted energy being less negative than the actual energy can be attributed to incomplete shielding of the nucleus by the 1s electrons. If the 1s electrons aren't completely efficient at using their charge of to-2 shield the charge on the nucleus of +3 the valence electron will see a higher effective charge on the nucleus. Consequently, the Z used in equation En=(-13.6eV)Zn2to determine the energy of the electron would be higher, leading to a greater negative energy.

Exercise 45 refers to state I and II and put their algebraic sum in a simple form. (a) Determine algebraic difference of state I and state II.

(b) Determine whether after swapping spatial state and spin state separately, the algebraic difference of state I and state II is symmetric, antisymmetric or neither, and to check whether the algebraic difference becomes antisymmetric after swapping spatial and spin states both.

Question: As the 2p levels fill from Z = 5 to 10 the element's first ionization energies tend to increase. But as the figure below clearly indicates it is slightly easier to remove an electron from Z = 8 oxygen than from Z = 7 nitrogen. What might explain this?

Compare and contrast the angular momentum and magnetic moment related to orbital motion with those that are intrinsic.

The 21cm Line: One of the most important windows to the mysteries of the cosmos is the 21cm line. With it astronomers map hydrogen throughout the universe. An important trait is that it involves a highly forbidden transition that is, accordingly, quite long-lived. But it is also an excellent example of the coupling of angular momentum. Hydrogen's ground state has no spin-orbit interaction鈥攆orl=0there is no orbit. However, the proton and electron magnetic moments do interact. Consider the following simple model.

(a) The proton seesitself surrounded by a spherically symmetric cloud of 1s electron, which has an intrinsic magnetic dipole moment/spin that of course, has a direction. For the purpose of investigating its effect the proton, treat this dispersed magnetic moment as behaving effectively like a single loop of current whose radius isa0then find the magnetic field at the middle of the loop in terms of e,,me , 0anda0.

(b) The proton sits right in the middle of the electron's magnetic moment. Like the electron the proton is a spin12particle, with only two possible orientations in a magnetic field. Noting however, that its spin and magnetic moment are parallel rather than opposite, would the interaction energy be lower with the proton's spin aligned or anti-aligned with that of the electron?

(c) For the protong.is 5.6. Obtain a rough value for the energy difference between the two orientations.

(d) What would be the wavelength of a photon that carries away this energy difference?
