Quantum Mechanical View of Atoms
Bohr model discarded as an accurate description of nature
Certain aspects have however been retained
e.g.
Electrons in an atom exist only in discrete states of
definite energy, the stationary states
Transitions between these states require the emission (or
absorption of a photon.
According to wave mechanics, electrons do not travel in well
defined circular orbits ala Bohr. The electron, because of its
wave nature, is better thought of as spread out in space as a
“cloud”.
The size and shape of the electron cloud can be found by
solving the Schrödinger equation for the atom and forming
the probability distribution, |y |2.

Quantum Numbers
If we do QM in for a particle confined in a 1-D and 3-D potential
well or rigid box. (See Course II Lecture 4)
The solutions are characterized by a single quantum number (n)
in the 1-D case and by three numbers (nx, ny and nz) in 3-D.
These quantum numbers arise from the imposition of
boundary conditions on the solutions. We might expect that
in the 3-D problem of the hydrogen atom the solutions will
be characterized by numbers corresponding to Boundary
conditions applied in 3-D. Restrictions on the values of these
quantum numbers arise from the mathematics of the
LaGuerre functions and the spherical harmonics.
Actually, we need a fourth number. There is an additional
degree of freedom which I will treat in a few minutes.

Energy is dependent solely on n.
Presence of multiple ls and ms for a given n

states are degenerate
This degeneracy is removed if directional symmetry
is broken by say a B or E field.
What about Lx and Ly?

applied and increased. 3 lines = “normal Zeeman effect”

Each degenerate energy level, l, is split into 2l+1
separate energy levels, ml.
B has specified a direction in space (z axis) and the
symmetry responsible for the degeneracy has been
broken.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment:
If B is inhomogeneous there will be a net force as well
as torque on the atom

For l  0 the states should separate according to ml

Electron Spin
Wolfgang Pauli:
Relativity  besides n, l, ml need 4th quantum number
G. Hollenbeck and S. Goudsmit:
Propose intrinsic “spin” angular momentum for the electron
s = ½ħ
Another magnetic quantum number: ms =  ½
1928, P. A. M. Dirac justifies this from relativity.

Gives magnetic effects like orbital angular momentum.
Intrinsic spin → intrinsic magnetic dipole moment
New magnetic quantum numbers:
ms = ± 1/2
Doubles number of states for a given n
States are degenerate unless a spatial direction is
specified, e.g. external E or B field
Quantum state now specified by {n, l, ml, ms}
1 February 2012
Modern Physics IV Lecture 3
27
Return to the Stern-Gerlach experiment
l = 0 state will give 2 lines for ms = ± 1/2
Fine structure:
Even in the absence of external fields, very high resolution
spectroscopy reveals splitting of spectral lines.
Rest frame of electron: nucleus orbits and appears as a current
loop. Interacts with spin magnetic moment and breaks
degeneracy
Line separation is about 5 x 10-5 eV compared to the 2p  1s
transition energy of 10.2 eV
Hyperfine structure:
Arises from the spin angular momentum and consequent spin
magnetism of the nucleon(s)

s-wave states are spherically symmetric, not so for l  0

Quantum Statistics
Consider a system of 2 particles, say electrons
Wave function for the system isy  r1 , r2 
we observe a probability of finding the particles
in volume elements at r1 and r2
P(r1 , r2 )dv1dv2  y *y dv1dv2
It is easy to show that
 y * y   y *y
i.e. no change in observable for y  y
identical particles  no observable change if they are interchanged
y *  r1 , r2 y  r1 , r2   y *  r2 , r1 y  r2 , r1 
1 February 2012
Modern Physics IV Lecture 3

So, under interchange  2 possibilities
y  ±y
If 2 identical particles interchange  y = +y, they are
said to obey Bose-Einstein statistics and are called
bosons.
If 2 identical particles interchange  y = -y, they are
said to obey Fermi-Dirac statistics and are called
fermions.
Bosons have integral spin, e.g. photons, mesons, some
atoms and nuclei, ………
1 February 2012
Modern Physics IV Lecture 3
31
Fermions have ½ integral spin, e.g. leptons, nucleons,
some atoms and nuclei,………..
For fermions y  y > y  0
> Cannot have 2 identical particles with the same
set of quantum numbers.
Pauli Exclusion Principle
You can stick as many bosons into a quantum state
as you want.
1 February 2012
Modern Physics IV Lecture 3
32
Electrons are fermions.
Build some elements. As electrons are added the
exclusion principle will have an effect.
Hydrogen: 1 e in the 1s state
1s1
He: 2 e in the 1s state, ms =1 and -1,
1s2
No more e can be added to the 1s state without
violating the exclusion principle !
The K shell is filled
1 February 2012

33
Li: 3rd e has to go in 2s state
2s1
Be: 4th e in the 2s state, ms =1 and -1,
2s2
2s state (subshell) is now filled
B: 5th e has to go in the 2p state
2p1
p state has 2l+1 = 3 values of ml, each with 2 values
of ms, accommodating C, N, O, F and Ne as 2p2 – 2p6.
2p subshell is now filled, as is the L shell
Na: 11th e has to go in 3s state
1 February 2012
Modern Physics IV Lecture 3
3s1
etc.
34
3s and 3p each with 2l+1 ml values each having 2
values of ms.
Weirdoes:
3d, 4d and 5d subshells fill up the transition metals
followed by the lanthanides and the actinides
Complicated inter electron interactions mess things up
If electrons were bosons, they would all sit in the ground
state, 1s, and chemistry would be very different.

Bonding in molecules
Ionic bonding:
NaCl
P for Na outer electron
17 February 2010
Modern Physics II Lecture 6
37
Na has 11 e-
Na
10 reside in inner closed shells
Last e- spends most of its time
outside these shells.
The last e- feels net attraction due to +1e, not all that strong
Cl has 17 e-
Cl
12 are in closed shells
1s22s22p63s2
Others are in non spherically
symmetric p states
17 February 2010
Modern Physics II Lecture 6
38
Exclusion principle
allows one more e- in
ml = 0 with spin
oriented opposite to
that of the last Cl e-
H
ml=0, unpaired
4 states ml=±1, ms=±1
If an extra electron happens to be in the vicinity it can
be in this state and could see an attraction due to Cl
nucleus as much as +5e.
Stronger than the +1e attraction between Na nucleus
and its outer electron  charge distribution in slide
#36 and an ionic bond between Na and Cl.
17 February 2012
Modern Physics II Lecture 6
39
Covalent bonding:
If H atoms are close together, e- clouds
H+H  H2
overlap and e- “orbit” both nuclei.
Both H s in ground state. Electron spins can be
either parallel (S = 1) or antiparallel (S = 0)
1st consider S = 1:
Exclusion principle  2 e- with
same quantum numbers must be
in different places, i.e. belong to
different atoms.
(+) nuclei repel, no bond is
formed.
17 February 2010
Modern Physics II Lecture 6
40
S = 0:
e- have different values for ms, spend
a lot of time in the internuclear
region
(+) nuclei are attracted to the
internuclear e- and a bond is
formed.
In a wave picture, exclusion principle  destructive
interference when S=1 and constructive when S=0.
17 February 2012
Modern Physics II Lecture 6
41
Energetics point of view:
For S = 0, e- can occupy same space, space of 2 atoms
rather than 1  Dx is increased.
H. U. P  Dp can be less  energy is less
Molecule has lower energy than the 2 separate atoms
 H2 is stable
Binding energy is 4.5 eV for H2
