Chaptr 7 Th Hydrogn Atom Background: W hav discussd th PIB HO and th nrgy of th RR modl. In this chaptr th H-atom and atomic orbitals. * A singl particl moving undr a cntral forc adoptd from Scott Kirby s nots http://wb.umr.du/~pchm/qchm/pdf/qchm.lctur5.fall00.pdf - such a systm dpnds only on th distanc and th not th dirction and is sphrically symmtric - th potntial nrgy is dpndnt only on position V ˆ V() r V V -- in trms of sphrical coordinats: 0 r r - th Hamiltonian: ˆ ˆ ˆ H K V V() r m sin r r r r r sin r r sin r ˆ L sin sin r sin r ˆ ˆ H r L V() r mr r r mr - w hav shown that th angular momntum is consrvd - in ordr to b abl to obtain dfinit valus of both th nrgy and th angular momntum simultanously w nd to s if th Hamiltonian and our angular momntum oprator commut Hˆ Lˆ Kˆ Lˆ Vˆ Lˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ K L r L L L r L m r r r mr m r r r mr ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ L K r L L L L r ˆ ˆ L L mr r r mr mr r r mr sinc th angular momntum oprator is dpndnt of r th kintic and angular momntum oprators commut Vˆ Lˆ 0 Th sam can b said about th angular momntum and potntial oprators thrfor th Hamiltonian and angular momntum oprators commut so w can masur both th angular momntum and th nrgy of any givn stat simultanously - Is our on particl dscription applicabl to th H-atom -- as w know thr ar two particls involvd in hydrogn: a proton & an
Elctron -- as it stands w would hav two sts of coordinats (on for particl) to dscrib this sytm -- lt s look at th rducd mass: 7 mm 9.090 kg.670 kg p 9.0940 kg 0.9995m 7 m mp 9.090 kg.670 kg --- this indicats that w will loos littl accuracy by approximating our H-atom as hav th proton fixd at th origin --- in othr words w can trat our H-atom a singl particl systm * Schrödingr Eqn for th H-atom - our modl will b a proton fixd at th nuclus intracting with an lctron which has a mass m and sparatd from th proton by a distanc of r - rcall th Coulombic potntial: V() r whr is th charg of th 4 lctron/proton and 0 is th prmittivity of fr spac - our Hamiltonian bcoms: ˆ H m 4 - th Schrödingr qn Hˆ E r sin E m r r r r sin r sin 4 say w multiply thru by m r and mov all trms to on sid of th qn r sin m r E 0 r r sin sin 4 -- th wavfunction will hav dpndnts r and : (r ) -- w can onc again invok sparation variabls: (r ) = R(r)Y( ) --- thn w can sparat th r trms from thos possssing & r R() r Y( ) sin R() r Y( ) r r sin sin m r ER( r) Y( ) 0 4

-- rcall Bohr radius is a h 4 0 0 0 m m -- so thn th nrgy can also b writtn as 4 En n 8 0an 0 - a consqunc of solving this radial componnt is n which must satisfy th condition nl or 0 l n l 0 n -- this should look familiar as th principl quantum numbr - th rsults for Rnl(r): l nl! r 0 () l na l r Rnl r r L n nn! na0 na0 l r -- whr Ln ar Lagurr (lә gr) polynomials hr ar th first fw: na0 n l 0 L Zr n l 0 L! a0 l L! -- it turns out that this wavfunction is normalizd you should prov this latr ( ) m nlm r Rnl r Yl -- ths wavfunctions ar orthonormal: - th total hydrogn atomic wavfunction * sin ' ' ' nlm ' ' ' rdr d r r d nlm nn ll mm 0 0 0 -- th first fw wavfunctions whr Z = atomic numbr n l m wavfunction nlm r 0 0 Z Zr a 0 00 a0 0 0 Z Zr Zr 0 00 a a0 a0 0 Z Zr Zr a 0 0 cos a0 a0 Z Zr Zr a 0 sin i 64 a0 a0 * Th Atomic Orbitals - quantum numbrs a rhash -- n our principl quantum numbr rlatd to siz n

harmonic has only ral componnts -- th m = corrspond to th px & py orbitals --- thr ar both ral and imaginary componnts for ths orbitals i i Y sin Y sin 8 8 --- whr th probability dnsitis ar qual: Y Y sin 8 --- ths ar oftn rprsntd by linar combos: px Y Y sin cos py Y Y sin sin 4 i 4 - thr ar similar combos for th d-orbitals * Sctions 7.4-7.8 w will skip again for now. * Multi-lctron atoms - w can solv th SE xactly for our singl lctron systm but that is not th cas whn anothr lctron gts involvd - w will discuss how to handl such a systm in th nxt chaptr
