Mult-electron atoms (11) 2010 update Extend the H-atom pcture to more than 1 electron: VII 33 H-atom sol'n use for -elect., assume product wavefct. n ψ = φn l m where: ψ mult electron w/fct φ n l m one electron w/fct we mght expect the lowest energy state lke H-atom wth n for all electrons --> but ths s not an allowed multelectron wavefuncton Electon Spn changes how thngs work for electrons: Paul Prncple: a. Every wavefuncton for fermon (spn 1/2 partcle) must be ant-symmetrc wth respect to exchange of dentcal partcles b. For electrons n atoms ths turns out to mean each electron has dfferent set of quantum numbers But there s also spn quantum number, ±½, so for each n l m l 2 electrons maxmum Spn ntrnsc magnetc moment or angular momentum no physcal pcture, no functonal form - represent spn w/f as (note no coordnates!): α, β S z α = m s hα = ½ hα S z β = m s hα = -½ hβ where S z spn ang. mom. op. S 2 α = s(s+1) h 2 α = ¾ h 2 α and S 2 sq. tot. ang. mom. 33
Mult-electron Atoms -- Smplest dea f H-atom descrbes electrons around nucleus use solutons to descrbe mult-electron atom VII 34 Problem potental has electron-electron repulson V(r) = -Ze 2 /r + e 2 /r j added repulson term j = 1 r j = [(x x j ) 2 + (y y j ) 2 + (z z j ) 2 ] 1/2 dstance between electrons (r e - nucl) H = T + V = -h 2 /2m 2 + -Ze 2 /r + ½ j e 2 /r j K.E. sum over e - attracton repulson assume C of M f gnore 3rd term H 0 ~ h (r ) - separable each h (r ) s H-atom problem wth soluton that we know E 0 = ε ψ 0 = φ (r ) sum of orbtal E product H-atom soluton Whch orbtals to fll? (approxmaton: confguraton/shell) a) Could put all e - n 1s lowest energy, but Paul prevent that b) Put 2e - each orbtal (opposte spn), fll n order of ncreasng energy 34
Order of fllng Aufbau (buld up) n order of ncreasng n (dea: low to hgh energy) and ncreasng l (skp one n for d and agan for f) VII 35 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f Mult-electron atoms, need to account for electron repulson, radal node structure (# nodes = n-l-1) leads to splt of s,p,d,f energes for mult-electron atoms, Cross-over of dashed lnes e.g. see 3d go above 4s,4p so skp fllng n order - same for other d,f orbtals Cross over Atomc Orbtal Energy (ε ) vs. Atomc umber (Z) 35
Why ths order? relates back to the d and f orbtals beng smaller because fewer nodes but complex, n+1 s,p fll frst nsde node, feel nucleus Added electrons sheld outer electron from attracton to nucleus (3rd term left out).e. as Z ncreases 1s has more negatve energy VII 36 Same for n=2 etc. but each shelded by 2e - n 1s and 2e - n 2s, 6 n 2p, etc. Dfferent s and p rad cause: n-level splt wth l: E E nl But d, f abnormal do not fll untl fll (s + p) hgher n Seems counter-ntutve, but goes lke nodes more nodes e - get sucked n close to nucleus Aufbau mnemonc for rememberng fllng order: Key: use spn and Paul Prncple 2 e - per orbtal Atomc w/f buld up (Aufbau) or fll n the order of: ~ (1s) 2 (2s) 2 (2p) 6 (3s) 2 (3p) 6 (4s) 2 (3d) 10 (4p) 6 etc. 36
For atoms, number of electrons equals atomc #, neutral Ths s confguraton - Represents ψ 0 = φ n l m (r ) Soluton to H 0 = Σh (r ) -- Product w/f sum E: E = ε = 1 VII 37 Recall: h(r ι ) φ ι (r ι ) = ε ι φ ι (r ι ) Varaton get extra stablty by half-flled shell balanced by splt of s, p effect bgger for d,f electrons Transton (3d, 4d, 5d seres, and 4f, 5f) get ns 1 (n-1)d 5 Transton metal ons a bt dfferent yet Ion pattern mples that fll 3d last but lose 4s frst nner orbtals (d) stablze by ncreasng effectve charge 37

Method underlyng ths approach: Varaton Prncple (go for gettng the dea, f not the detals) f use exact H, approxmate (guess) a w/fct: ψ a then compute expectaton value of energy n ψ a H = ψ a *Hψ a dτ / ψ a *ψ a dτ E 0 {where E 0 s true ground state energy -- H > E exp } VII 39 guess w/fct ψ(λ) wth a parameter λ chooses form then H / λ = 0 wll gve best value λ (mnmum E) mprovement n ψ(λ,μ) alter form, add parameter μ Example: He-atom 2 electrons ψ ~ φ 1s (r 1 ) φ 1s (r 2 ) f e - sheld then Z Z' (less attracton to nucleus) ψ a ~ e -Z'r 1/a0 e -Z'r 2/a0 -- here, Z s varaton parameter E 0 = 2 4 E H = 8 E H ~ -108.8 ev but E exp ~ -78.9 ev bg error! for Z = 2 solve H / Z' = 0 Z' = Z 5/16 = 27/16 for best fct varaton mprovement: E' = -77.4 ev To get better add more varaton e.g. ψ'' = (1 + br 12 ) e -Z'r1/a0 e -Z'r 2/a0 get: Z' ~ 1.85 E'' ~ -78.6 ev b ~ 0.364/a 0 error ~ 0.5% could go on and get E calc more precse than E exp!! 39
