Quantum Mechanics – Historical Background
» Physics in the Late 19th Century (prior to quantum mechanics (QM))
• Atoms are basic constituents of matter • Newton’s Laws apply universally • The world is deterministic
» Physics was complete except for a few decimal places !
• Newtonian mechanics explained macroscopic behavior of matter --planetary motion, fluid flow, elasticity, etc.
• Thermodynamics had its first two laws and most of their consequences
• Basic statistical mechanics had been applied to chemical systems
• Light was explained as an electromagnetic wave

» However there were several experiments that could not be explained by classical physics and the accepted dogma !
• Blackbody radiation • Photoelectric effect • Discrete atomic spectra • The electron as a subatomic particle
» � Inescapable conclusions would result from these problems
• Atoms are not the most microscopic objects • Newton’s laws do not apply to the microscopic world of t
he electron
• OUTCOME New Rules!!!�

• Describes rules that apply to electrons in atoms and molecules
• Non-deterministic, probabilistic ! A new philosophy of nature
– � Explains unsolved problems of late 19th century physics
– � Explains bonding, structure, and reactivity in chemistry

The DEMISE of CLASSICAL PHYSICS
– (a) Discovery of the Electron » In 1897 J.J. Thomson discovers the electron and measures (eme)
(and inadvertently invents the cathode ray (TV) tube) » Faraday (1860’s – 1870’s) had already shown using electrochemis
try that amounts of electric current proportional to amounts of some substances could be liberated in an electrolytic cell. The term “electron” was suggested as a natural “unit” of electricity.
» But Thomson experimentally observes electrons as particles with charge & mass.

» Thomson found that results are independent of (1) cathode material
» (2) residual gas composition » “� electron” is a distinct particle, present in all materi

» BUT model not consistent with classical electrodynamics: Accelerating charge emits radiation! (centripetal acceleration = v2/r) And since light has energy, Emust be getting more negative with time
» R must be getting smaller with time!
» Electronspiralsintonucleusin~1010s!
» Also, as rdecreases, vshould increase Frequency of emi�tted light = frequency of rotation
» atom should emit light at all frequencies – that is it should produce a continuous spectrum

» BUT emission from atoms was known to be discrete, not continuous!
» For the H atom, Rydberg showed that the spectrum was consistent with the simple formula:

Summary: Rutherford’s model of the atom
• (1) Is not stable relative to collapse of electron into nucleus
• (2) Does not yield discrete emission lines,
• (3) Does not explain the Rydberg formula

The DEMISE of CLASSICAL PHYSICS (cont’d)
• (a) Blackbody radiation --All things emit light when heated up!
» Classically: (1) Radiation from a blackbody is the result of electrons oscillating with frequency Oscillating charged particle antennae
» (2) The electrons can oscillate (& radiate) equally well at any frequency
• Rayleigh-Jeans Law for spectral density ρ(ν), where intensity of emitted light in frequency range from ν to ν+ dν is I(ν)~ ρ(ν) dν
• k = Boltzmann’s constant [= R/NA (gas constant per molecule)] c = speed of light

The ATOM of NIELS BOHR
» Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist who established the Copenhagen school.
– (a) Assumptions underlying the Bohr atom • (1) Atoms can exist in stable “states” without radiating. The stat
es have discrete energies En, n= 1, 2, 3,..., where n= 1 is the lowest energy state (the most negative, relative to the dissociated atom at zero energy), n= 2 is the next lowest energy state, etc. The number “n” is an integer, a quantum number, that labels the state.
• (2) Transitions between states can be made with the absorption or emission of a photon of frequency where ν = ΔE/ h .
![Page 23: Physical Chemistry Quantum Chemistry. Quantum Mechanics – Historical Background »Physics in the Late 19th Century (prior to quantum mechanics (QM)) Atoms](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e375503460f94b28172/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
» These two assumptions “explain” the discrete spectrum of atomic vapor emission. Each line in the spectrum corresponds to a transition between two particular levels. Thisisthebirthofmodernspectroscopy.
» (3) Angular momentum is quantized: l = nh where h = h /2π
• Angular momentum

» Consequences (I)
• As Bohr had assumed angular momentum is quantized!!!

» Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
» Consider diffraction through a single slit

» Now consider a beam of electrons with de Broglie wavelength .The slit restricts the possible positions of the electrons in the x direction: at the slit, the uncertainty in the electron x-position is
» This means the electrons must go through the slit with some range of velocity components Vx

» So the position and momentum of a particle cannot both be determined with arbitrary position! Knowing one quantity with high precision means that the other must necessarily be imprecise!

» Basically, if we know the e-is in the atom, then we can’t know its velocity at all!
» Bohr had assumed the electron was a particle with a known position and velocity. To complete the picture of atomic structure, the wavelike properties of the electron had to be included.
» So how do we properly represent where the particle is??

» Schrodinger (1933 Nobel Prize) » A particle in a “stable” or time-independent state can
be represented mathematically as a wave, by a “wavefunction” (x) (in 1-D) which is a solution to

» We cannot prove the Schrödinger equation. But we can motivate why it might be reasonable.
» Similarly, a left-traveling wave can be represented as
