BOHR’S ATOMIC MODEL © . Q. Whatare the main points of Bohr’s atomic model? With the-help of.Bohr’s atomic model, how would you determine the radius and energy ' of hydrogen atom? fe (R.U. 2008) - - Or : Q What is Bohr’s theory of atomic structure?- What are its (R.U. 2005) limitations? Ans. ‘In atomic physics, the Bohr model, devised by Niels Bohr, depicts the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus—similar in structure to the solar system, but with electrostatic forces providing attraction, rather than gravity. This was an improvement on the earlier cubic model (1902), the plum-pudding model (1904), the Saturnian model (1904), and the Rutherford model (1911). Since the Bohr model is a quantum physics-based modification of the Rutherford model, many sources combine the two, referring to the Rutherford—Bohr model. . satoduced by Niels Bohr in 1913, the model’s key success lay in explaining the Rydberg formula for the spectral emission lines of atomic hydrogen. While the Rydberg formula had been known experimentally, it did not gain a theoretical underpinning until the Bohr model was introduced, Not only did the Bohr model explain the reason for the structure of the Rydberg formula, it also provided a justification for its empirical results in terms of fundamental physical constants. The Bohr model is a primitive model of the hydrogen atom. Asa theory, it can be derived as a first-order approximation of the hydrogen atom using the broader and much more accurate quantum mechanics, and thus may be considered to be an obsolete scientific theory. Niels Bohr proposed, in 1913, what is now called the Bohr model ofthe atom. He suggested that electrons could only have certain classical motions: 1... The electrons can only. travel in special orbits: at a certain discrete set of distances from the nucleus with specific energies. 2. The electrons do not continuously lose energy as they travel. They can only gain-and lose energy by jumping from.one allowed orbit to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation witha frequency v determined by the energy difference of the levels according to'the Planck relation: AE =E,-E,=In, a where / is Planck’s constant. 3° The frequency of the radiation emitted at an orbit of period Tisas it would be in classical mechanics; it is the reciprocal of the classical orbit period: ve— T The significance of the Bohr model is.that the laws of classical mechanics apply to the motion of the electron about the nucleus only when restricted by a quantum rule. Although rule 3 is not completely well defined for small orbits, because the emission process involves two orbits with two different periods, Bohr could determine the energy spacing between levels using rule 3 and come to an exactly correct quantum rule: the angular momentum Z is restricted to be an integer multiple of a fixed unit: h ‘L=n—=nh 2a where n = 1, 2, 3, ... is called the principal quantum number, and h= n/ 27 . The lowest value of n is 1; this gives a smallest possible orbital Tadius of 0.0529 nm known as the Bohr radius. Once an electron is in this lowest orbit, it can get no closer to the proton. Starting from the angular Momentum quantum rule Bohr was able to calculate the energies of the allowed orbits of the hydrogen atom and other hydrogen-like atoms and ions. Bohr’s condition, that the angular momentum is an integer multiple of ‘Was later reinterpreted by de Broglie as a standing wave condition: the electron is described by a wave and a whole number of wavelenjths must fit along the circumference of the electron’s orbit: vd na=2ar . Substituting de Broglie’s wavelength reproduces Bohr’s tule. Bohr justified his rule by appealing to the correspondence principle, without providing a wave interpretation. ELECTRONENERGYLEVELS ° The Bohr model gives almost exact results only for a system where two charged points orbit each other at speeds much less than that of light. This not only includes one-electron systems such as the hydrogen atom, singly- ionized helium, doubly ionized lithium, but it includes positronium and Rydberg states of any atom where one electron is far away from everything else.It can be used for K-line X-ray transition calculations ifother assumptions are added. In high energy physics, it can be used to calculate the masses of heavy quark mesons. 3 oa To calculate the.orbits requires two assumptions: a Classical mechanics The electron is held in a circular orbit by electrostatic attraction. The centripetal force is equal to the Coulomb force. 2 2 mv _ ke . pears where m, is the mass, e is the charge of the electron and k, is Coulomb’s constant. This determines the speed at any radius: The total energy is negative and inversely proportional to r. This means that it takes. energy to pull the orbiting electron away from the proton. For infinite values of r, the energy is zero, corresponding to a motionless electron infinitely far from the proton. The total energy is half the potential energy, which is true for non circular orbits.too by the virial theorem. Forlarger nuclei, the ont Zk ¢? where Zis the number of reduced mass (u = m2). a Quantum rule ly change is that ke is everywhere replaced b: Protons. For positro i e nium, 1, is replaced by its The angular momentum L = m,yris an integer multiple of ft: m.vr =nh Substituting the expression for the velocity gives an equation forr in terms of: ker =h so that the allowed orbit radius'at any nis: 24.2 wh: ” bre 2 ke*m, The smallest possible value of ris called the Bohr radius and is equal to: fe 2 eee ca oe "Ge 0.529x10-"°m ‘The energy of the -th level is determined by the radius: 2\ % ke (ke) m, -13.6ev 2r, » hn? v An electron in the lowest energy level of hydrogen (n = 1) therefore has 13.6 eV less energy than a motionless electron infinitely far from the nucleus. The next energy level (m = 2) is -3.4 eV. The third (7 = 3) is -1.51 eV, and so on. For larger values of 2, these are also the binding energies of a highly excited ~ atom with one electron in a large circular orbit around the rest of the atom. The combination of natural constants in the energy formula is called ~~ the Rydberg energy (R,): (ke y m, 2h?

This will now give us energy levels for hydrogenic atoms, which can serve as a rough order-of-magnitude approximation of the actual energy levels. So, for nuclei with Z protons, the energy levels are (toa rough approximation): DR, nr E, =~ When the electron moves from one energy level to another, a photon is emitted. Using the derived formula for the different ‘energy’ leve 1s of hydrogen one may determine thé ‘wavelengths’ of light that a hydrogen atom can emit, The energy of a photon emitted by a hydrogen atom is given by the difference of two hydrogen energy levels: “ where nis the final energy level, and n,is the initial energy level.

R,/ 27 in natural units, Jn fact, Bohr’s derivation of ‘the E J Rydberg constant, as well as the concomitant agreement of Bohr’s formula with experimentally observed spectral lines of the Lyman (= 1), Balmer (1,= 2), and Paschen (7, = 3) series, and successful theoretical prediction of other lines not yet observed, was one reason that his model was immediately accepted, LIMITATIONS The Bohr model also has difficulty with, or else fails to explain: Much of the spectra of larger atoms. At best, it can make predictions about the K-alpha and some L-alpha X-ray emission spectra for larger atoms, if nvo additional ad hoc assumptions are made (see Moseley’s law above). Emission spectra for atoms with a single outer-shell electron (atoms in the lithium group)’ can also be approximately predicted. Also, if the empiric electron-nuclear screening factors for many atoms are known, many other spectral lines can be deduced from the information, in similar atoms of differing elements, via the Ritz-Rydberg combination principles (see Rydberg formula). All these techniques essentially make use of Bohr’s Newtonian energy- potential picture of the atom. The theory does not predict the relative intensities of spectral lines; although in some simple cases, Bohr’s formula or modifications of it, was able to provide reasonable estimates (for example, calculations by Kramers for the Stark effect). : " The existence of fine structure and hyperfine structure in spectral lines, which are known to be due to a variety of relativistic and subtle effects, as well as complications from electron spin. . The Zeeman effect - changes in spectral lines due to external magnetic fields; these are also due to more complicated quantum principles interacting with electron spin and orbital magnetic fields. . The model also violates the uncertainty principle in that it considers electrons to have known orbits and definite radius, two things which can not be directly known at once. QUANTUM NUMBERS © Q. What are the four quantum numbers? Explain the significance of each quantum number. State and explain Pauli’s exclusion principle. (R.U. 2007) Or Q. Discuss quantum numbers. (R.U. 2006) ‘Ans, Orbitals of electrons in atoms differ in size. shape and orientation. Definite energies and angular movements characterize atomic orbitals. The state of an electron in any atom is defined by certain permissible values of energy and angular momentum, which describe its location with respect to its nucleus and its energy level. These permissible states are called orbitals and are expressed by a set of four numbers ‘n’, ‘|’, ‘m’ and ‘s’ called quantum OE SE ne ee gaat Spee numbers. These numbers serve as the signature of the electrons, uni describing its position in the atom. The ‘n’, ‘I’ and ‘m’ indicate the g distribution while ‘s’ indicates the spin orientation of the electrons, PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER This quantum nimber determines the main energy shell or energy lev in which the electron is present, The principal quantum number gives the average distance of the electron from the nucleus and energy associated with it. quely Patial Itis denoted by the letter ‘n’ that can take whole number values Starting from 1, 2,3, 4, ...... The shell with n= 1 is called first shell or ‘K’ shell, The shell with n = 2 is the ‘L’ shell and so on. The first shell is closest to the nucleus. As the value of ‘n’ increases, the distance from the nucleus as well as the energy of the electrons increases. AZIMUTHAL QUANTUM NUMBER OR ANGULAR QUAN- TUM NUMBER The Azimuthal quantum number determines the angular momentum of the electron, denoted by the letter ‘I’. The value of ‘I? gives the sub level or sub shell in a given principal energy shell to which the electron belongs. It can have only positive integral values from zero to (n-1) where ‘ quantum number. The various sub shell values of | are.also designated by the letters s, p, d, f,..:... For any main energy level, the energies of the sub shell follow the order s> p>d>f. ’ The different sub shells are represented by first writing the value of ‘n’ and then the letter designated for the value of ‘I’. To illustrate, n’ is the principal n=11=0 onesubshell Is n= 0,1 two sub shells 2s, 2p n=31=0,1,2 three sub shells 3s, 3p, 3d n= 0,1,2,3 four sub shells 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f Thus for each value of ‘n’ there are ‘n’ values of ‘I’, The value of azimuthal quantum number gives the shape of the sub shell or orbital. So it is also called as orbital quantum number, MAGNETIC QUANTUM NUMBER The magnetic quantum number describes the behaviour of electron ina magnetic field. In the absence of external magnetic field electrons / orbitals having same values of ‘n’ and ‘’ but different values on ‘m’ have the same energies. They are called degenerate orbitals. However, in the presence of: an external magnetic field the orbitals vary in their energies slightly. This is OO because the preferred orientation of the orbital in space is a result of interaction ofits own magnetic field with that of the external magnetic field, Itis denoted by the letter ‘ny’ the values of which depends on ‘I’, This quantum number can have all integral values from *-1° to “H1" including 0. Thus for given ‘I’ value there are (21+ 1) values of ‘m’. Two orbitals in the same shell can have identical ‘n’ and ‘1? values but they must have different fixed values of ‘m’, The number of orbitals in enc! ssub shell 1=0m=0 only psub shell l= 1 m= +1,0, -1 three orientations three orbitals dsub shell l= 2 m= +2,+1,0,-1,-2 five orientations five orbitals SPIN QUANTUM NUMBERS The orientation of spin of an electron is di number ‘s’, The spin orientation is an intrinsic characteristic of the electron connected more with its magnetic behaviour rather than rotation ofan electron about its own axis. This number can have only two values corresponding to clockwise and anticlockwise spins i.e., +¥% and -Y, The clockwise spin is represented by an arrow (h) pointing upwards. The anti clockwise spin is tepresented by an arrow (i) pointing downwards. Each orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrons provided they have opposite spins. h sub shell are given below: One orientation one orbital lesignated by its spin quantum 3d d — oF aeons Peeve Se remem.

One expression of the Pauli Exclusion Principle is that “no two electrons in the same atom can be in the same quantum state.” This means that no two electrons can have the same set of quantum states of: 1. Energy, 2. Angular momentum magnitude, 3. Angular momentum orientation, and 4 Orientation of intrinsic spin. . Pauli’s Principle is based on the fact that: any. two given electrons are indistinguishable from one another and thus changing the designations between two or more electrons in different quantum states should have no observable effect. This apparently esoteric principle is the very basis for the existence of the Periodic Table of the Elements. The Pauli Exclusion Principle allows for the distinction between different elements. Furthermore, the Principle also effects the way molecules form in the bonding of atoms, for the way molecules interact to form gases, liquids, or solids, and/or how the molecules aggregate themselves in living organisms. In effect, the Pauli Exclusion Principle “is the basis for the observable order of the universe; including the existence of life.” Margenau has said:”*Pauli’s Exclusion Principle‘accounts for atomic structure. Without this structure, every atom would collapse into a Positive nucleus surrounded by an unorganized mass of negative charges.” DE BROGLIE’S WAVE EQUATION. © Q. _ Derive De Broglie’s wave equation. . (R.U; 2004) (V.B.U. 2009) Or Discuss Broglie’s equation. (R.U. 2006, 10) (V.B.U. 2007) i Or.” | What is meant by de Broglie’s matter wave? Derive de Broglie’s equation for matter wave. (V.B.U. 2005, 06) Ans. In 1924, Louis de Broglie, a french physicist suggested that electrons can also possess a dual character of wave and particle. Thus According to de- Broglie, all material particles in motion possess wave characteristics, According to de-Broglie, the wavelength 4 associated with a particle of mass m, moving with velocity vis given by the relation h Mea (i) Where, h=Planck’s constant mv= momentum of particle The waves associated with the material particles are cal led the matter waves. The equation 1 is known as the de- Broglie equation. DERIVATION OF DE-BROGLIE RELATIONSHIP According to Plank, a photon of light having energy E is associated with the wave of frequency vas E=hv ww (ii) According to Einstein, mass and energy are related as E='me? - (ii) where c= velocity of light equating the equations 2.& 3,:we get hy = me" Since mc. This equation is valid for a photon. De-Broglie suggested that on substituting the mass of the particle m and its velocity vin place of velocity of light c, the equation can also be used in case of the material particles. Thus, the wavelength of the material particles is evn mc This equation is known as the de-Broglie equation. or in other words rl Plank 'sconstant momentum Since h is a constant I Ga momentum Itmeans that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particles, SIGNIFICANCE OF DE-BROGLIE RELATIONSHIP | The dual nature of matter is applicable to all material objects but itis é significant for the microscopic bodies only. For large bodies, the wavelength of the associated waves are very small and connot be measured. Therefore, Practically all the large bodies are said to have no wavelength. Thus any material body can have the wavelength but itis measurable or significant only for the microscopic bodies such as electrons, * protons, atoms or the molecules. Qa Explain Heisenberg’s uncertainty Principle. Show that it is valid only for small particles and not for large objects, (R.U. 2004) Or Q. State and explain Heisenberg’s uncertainty Principle. (R.U. 2006, 10) (V.B.U. 2009) Ans. In 1927 werner Heisenberg pointed out that one cannot measure accurately both the position and velocity (momentum) of a microscopic particle. On the basis of this observation Heisenberg put forward a principle, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. According to this principal:- “It is not possible to determine precisely both the Position and the momentum (velocity) of small moving particles with accuracy.” MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION FOR THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE IS : : known as the h Ax)( Ap) = — (ax)(ap)e se where Ax is uncertainty in position and Ap is uncertainty in momentum. _h The sign > means that the uncertainty can never be less than an ee eee ee eneral) | 10 4 at age RITE a poeaee The constancy of the product of uncertainty means that : (i) If Ax is small i.e. the position of particle is measured accurately, then Ap would be large and thus the uncertainty in momentum will be large. (ii) On the other hand, if Ap is small the momentum of the particle can be measured accurately and the uncertainty in the position (i.e. ax ) will be large. In brief, it is impossible to determine simultaneously the position and momentum ofa microscopic particle with absolute accuracy or certainty. EXPLANATION OF UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE To explain the uncertainty principle, let us consider an object moving ina circular path. In order to determine the position of an object, we should shine light on the object when a beam of light falls on the object, the photons. of the incident light strikes the object and the reflected- photons are seen by our eyes. If the object is large, its position and velocity will not change by the impact of the striking photons. Asa result, one can measure the position and velocity of the object simultaneously. However, in case of microscopic objects such as electroris, protons, neutrons etc. striking photon of light will disturb the position as well as the velocity of the particle from its normal path. Due to change of path of electron, its velocity also changes and thus the determination of its exact velocity becomes impossible, although the position of the electron has been pinpointed in the microscope. ae, sacroscore Change of momentum and position of electron on impact with a photon. 5 Above figure clearly demonstrates how the position of the electro, I changes by the impact of photon. Thus, It is not possible to determine simultaneously the exact posit, and momentum of the microscopic objects. ATOMIC ORBITALS Q..° Define Atomic orbitals. Or Write short note on atomic orbitals.

The size of orbital depends upon the value of principal quantum number. The larger the value of ‘n’ the larger is the size of the orbital.

Explain Inductive effect. (R.U. 2005) Ans. It is an intrinsic effect that arises out of the tendency of a substitute bonded to carbon atom in general to either release the electrons involved in its bond to the carbon atom away from it or to withdraw the electrons involved in its bond towards itself. It is so termed as it is generally observed ina chain of minimum three carbon atoms where the present of a substituent at any part of the chain induces the effect along the chain. This effect in short arises out of the electro negativity of the atoms involved. Obviously this effect will be seen induced along a chain of carbon atoms bonded to one another through sigma bonds only and though it is a permanent effect it can never cleave any bond that is involved in it. . Measurement of Inductive Effect- Inductive effect cannot be measured in terms of any numerical values, but is always studied by comparison. | | Ger es ir ae Se a he ey ee a epee py this itis meant the standard bond is the C-H bond ofa R,C-H molecule, That is to say if we have a R,C-X molecule the substituent X which may be either one atom like Cl or a group of atoms like CH, may either attract the electrons in the C-X bond of the R,C-X molecule strongly towards itself or release the electrons of the C-X bond towards the 3 Rs that are bonded to the Cas R,C-X as compared to H in the C-H bond of R,C-H molecule. . Notations or Symbols of Inductive Effect- The inductive effect is indicated by an arrow along the bondas X —C < H. ifthe substituent X is more electro negative then the arrowhead will point towards X and if the substituent X is less electro negative than'H then the arrowhead will point towards Cas X > C>H.- Types - According to the nature of the substituent that is if more electro-ve than or less electro negative than two types of inductive effect denoted as -I effect and +I effect respectively where I indicates thus a substituent showing _Jeffect will attract the electron pairs in the chain of covalent bonds strongly towards itself for example, “NH,, NO, CN, Cl, Br, I, Thus, CH,-CH,- CH,-X then can be written as “|, CH, CH, >CH, >Cl (propylchloride) 2, . CH, >CH, CH, > NO,( propyl nitrate) 3. CH, >CH CH, CH X> CH x Tertiary > Secondary > Primary > Methyl” ° (iii) Relative strength of the acids : @ Any group or atom showing +1 effect decreases the acid strength as it increases the negative charge on the carboxylate ion which holds the hydrogen firmly.

This isa temporary effect and takes place between two atoms joined by amultiple bond, i.e., a double or triple bond. It occurs at the requirements of theattacking reagent, and involves instantaneous transfer of a'shared pair of electrons of the multiple bond to one of the linked atoms. It is temporary in nature because the molecule acquires-its original electronic condition upon removal of the attacking reagént. : For example, consider the carbonyl group, >C=O; present in aldehydes and ketones. When a negatively charged reagent say : approaches the molecule seeking positive site, it causes instantaneous shift of electron pair of carbonyl group to oxygen (more electronegative than carbon). The carbon thus becomes deprived of its share in this transferred-pair of electrons and acquires positive charge. In the meanwhile oxygen takes complete control of the electron pair and becomes negatively charged. Therefore, in the presence of attacking reagent, one bond is Jost and this negatively charged attacking reagent links to the carbon having positive charge. : ae | a + —+ *¢ fi x ce, A \ Oo ~ .

(R.U.2005) Ans, Iftwo or more structures can be assigned toa molecule, none of which is capable of describing all the known properties of the compound, then the actual structure is known to be a resonance hybrid or an intermediate of these structures. The various structures written are called resonating structures and” this phenomenon is called resonance. The phenomenon of Tesonance can be explained with the help of co, molecule. It has been represented by the structural formula: C 3 Or. O=C=0 The formula satisfies the conventional valency requirements, but it fails to explain some experimental facts, The actual carbon-oxygen bond in CO has been found to be 1.15 A whereas the normal carbon-oxygen double bond is 1.22 A and that for triple bond is 1/10 A. This means that carbon-oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is intermediate between a double and triple bond. To account for this, two other structures were proposed: * = + 5O:Ci:0: or O-CeO : LD: or.

[85 ] PROFESSORSNOTES CUM GUESS SERIES : Q Write notes on Resonance, “7 (RU, 2004) Ans, “The concept of hybridisation of two or more conventional valence structures to yield a new stable hybrid form less energy is termed Resonance» The resonance structures/cononical structures/contributing structures are hypothetical and individually do not represent any real molecule, Resonance really involves the delocalization of electrons in the molecule $0 as to give a new stable form which explains its behaviour. The CoC = bond in benzene and several other organic compounds behaves as stronger than the normal ethylene linkage. This is explained by the fact that one of the e* pair between the two carbons is delocalized or displaced to give a stable resonance hybrid form as :- - Pet SEEK. eS DE-ES Resonance structures CIO C-C distance in ethane molecule — 1.544 eg :- Benzene molecule C=C distance in ethylene molecule > 1.334 but, In benzene all C—C bonds has value as 1 394. indicating clearly their hybrid nature.
