Document Summary

He developed a math model of the atom with discrete energy levels or shells: electrons release or emit light while moving between shells, predicted hydrogen atom exactly. Bohr"s model re-produced the line spectra for 1 electron system perfectly, but it relied on e- being particles. Later, louis de broglie proposed that all subatomic particles behave as waves and particles . The more massive an object is, the less the wave nature becomes. Evidence of dual particle/wave nature of the electron led heisenberg led to the. Act of measurement changes the properties of the electron (i. e. you can"t measure it without disturbing it) Impossible to determine simultaneously both position and velocity of an electron (or any other small particle) Basically, we cannot precisely specify when an electron of know energy is at any moment of time. Explanation required completely new mathematics and so invented matrix mechanics to describe the electrons in an atom.

LIGHT LAB SPRING 2018 CHEM 1430 Ill. Quantization of Electromagnetic Radiation In 1894, the German physidist, Max Plank, was working for a utility company to maximize visible light output from incandescent lamps using minimum power. Based on theoretical considerations, Planck postulated that electromagnetic energy could only be emitted at discrete values, rather than the continuum of predicted by classical physics, as multiples of the frequency of the radiation. Planck's Postulate took the mathematical form: EÂ·hv where the energy emitted, in Joules, is the product of a constant, h, known as Planck's Constant, and the frequency of the radiation, v. Planck's Postulate was experimentally verified and h found to have the value of 6.626 x 1034 Js(Joule seconds). The idea that electromagnetic radiation energy had specific frequency dependent energy was termed a "quantum of action," a distressing finding for the dlassically trained Planck. Despite his objections, Planck adopted this quantization of energy as a last resort to reconcile experiment with theory. This discovery set the stage for the early understanding of atomic structure, led to the term "photon" to describe the packet of energy carried by light waves, led to an understanding of the photoelectric effect, eventually leading to the development of general quantum theory Planck's Relationship, in combination with the tight equation, c the energy of a photon from frequency or wavelength.

Bohr's Quantum Model for the Hydrogen Atom Ernest Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment of 1911 demonstrated the nuclear structure of the atom. Questions remained as to how electrons were arranged in the atom. The most common belief called for the negatively charged the late 19h century recognized a particle (an electron) traveling around a body (the positively charged nucleus) would continuously radiate energy, slowing over time, eventually falling into the nucleus. Matter would collapse. Page 8 of 12
