CH 301 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Azimuthal Quantum Number, Photon, Magnetic Quantum Number
Document Summary
Sr: electron excited, relaxes, emits photon 650 nm red, lower energy, greater wavelength. Cu: electron excited, relaxes, emits photon 525 nm green. greater enery, lower wavelength. Schrondinger equation: energies tell us about the enrgy of the electron, wavefunctions tell use where the electron is or probability of nding the particle a t a given position. System -> function machine that will give us solutions (schrodinger equations) -> Solutions to thse wave equations are called orbitals. At the moment, we care about the probability density, w2. Radial probability density is the probability of ndin the electron at some distance from the nucleus. All atomic orbitals with the same value of n have the same energy and belong to the same shell. A measure of the rate at which the electron circulates the nucleus, which de nes the shape of orbital l = 0, 1, 2, 3 n-1. Orbitals of a shell fall into n groups called subshells.
