Electromagnetic Spectrum
Dr. S. M. Condren
Electromagnetic Radiation
Electromagnetic wave
• A wave of energy having a frequency
within the electromagnetic spectrum and
propagated as a periodic disturbance of
the electromagnetic field when an electric
charge oscillates or accelerates.
Dr. S. M. Condren
Electromagnetic Radiation
Electromagnetic wave
• wavelength
• frequency
• amplitude

Wave Nature of the Electron
Dr. S. M. Condren
Electromagnetic Radiation
• Waves have a frequency
• Use the Greek letter “nu”,
units are “cycles per sec”
, for frequency, and
l
• Use the Greek letter “lambda”, , for
wavelength, and units are “meters”
• All radiation:
l• = c
• c = velocity of light = 3.00 x 108 m/sec
• Long wavelength --> small frequency
• Short wavelength --> high frequency

The Electric Pickle
• Excited atoms can emit light.
• Here the solution in a pickle is
excited electrically. The Na+ ions
in the pickle juice give off light
characteristic of that element.

Line Emission Spectrum
Dr. S. M. Condren
Electromagnetic Radiation
Example: Calculate the frequency, , of
red light that has a wavelength, l, of
700. nm.
 = (1/700. nm)(109nm/1m)(3.00x108m/sec)
= 4.29x1014 s-1
= 4.29x1014 cycles/s
= 4.29x1014 hertz

Photoelectric Effect
Experiment demonstrates the particle nature of light.
Dr. S. M. Condren
Energy of Radiation
Energy of 1.00 mol of photons of red light.
E = h•
= (6.63 x 10-34 J•s)(4.29 x 1014 s-1)
= 2.85 x 10-19 J per photon
E per mol =
(2.85 x 10-19 J/ph)(6.02 x 1023 ph/mol)
= 171.6 kJ/mol
This is in the range of energies that can break
bonds.
Dr. S. M. Condren
Spectra
Line Spectrum
• A spectrum produced by a luminous gas or
vapor and appearing as distinct lines
characteristic of the various elements
constituting the gas.
Emission Spectrum
• The spectrum of bright lines, bands, or
continuous radiation characteristic of and
determined by a specific emitting substance
subjected to a specific kind of excitation.
Absorption Spectrum
• Wavelengths of light that are removed from
transmitted light.
Dr. S. M. Condren
Atomic Line Emission Spectra
and Niels Bohr
Bohr’s greatest contribution
to science was in building
a simple model of the
atom. It was based on an
understanding of the
Niels Bohr
(1885-1962)
SHARP LINE
EMISSION SPECTRA
of excited atoms.
Dr. S. M. Condren
Atomic Spectra and Bohr
Bohr said classical view is wrong.
e- can only exist in certain discrete
orbits — called stationary states.
e- is restricted to QUANTIZED energy
states.
Energy of state = - C/n2
where n = quantum no. = 1, 2, 3, 4, ....
Dr. S. M. Condren
Bohr Atom
Dr. S. M. Condren
Energy States
Ground State
• The state of least possible energy in a
physical system, as of elementary
particles. Also called ground level.
Excited States
• Being at an energy level higher than the
ground state.

∆E = -(3/4)C
C has been found from experiment (and is now
called R, the Rydberg constant)
R (= C) = 1312 kJ/mol or 3.29 x 1015 cycles/sec
so, E of emitted light
= (3/4)R = 2.47 x 1015 sec-1
and l = c/ = 121.6 nm
This is exactly in agreement with experiment!

and Niels Bohr
Niels Bohr
(1885-1962)
Bohr’s theory was a great
accomplishment.
Rec’d Nobel Prize, 1922
Problems with theory —
• theory only successful for H.
• introduced quantum idea
artificially.
• So, we go on to QUANTUM or
WAVE MECHANICS
Dr. S. M. Condren
Quantum or Wave Mechanics
Schrodinger applied idea of ebehaving as a wave to the problem
of electrons in atoms.
He developed the WAVE
EQUATION
Solution gives set of math
expressions called WAVE
E. Schrodinger
FUNCTIONS, 
1887-1961
Each describes an allowed energy
state of an eQuantization introduced naturally.
Dr. S. M. Condren
WAVE FUNCTIONS, 
• is a function of distance and two
angles.
• Each  corresponds to an
ORBITAL — the region of space
within which an electron is found.
•  does NOT describe the exact
location of the electron.
• 2 is proportional to the probability
of finding an e- at a given point.
Dr. S. M. Condren
Uncertainty Principle
W. Heisenberg
1901-1976
•Problem of defining nature
of electrons solved by W.
Heisenberg.
•Cannot simultaneously
define the position and
momentum (=m*v) of an
electron.
•We define e- energy
exactly but accept limitation
that we do not know exact
position.

Orbitals
• No more than 2 e- assigned to an orbital
• Orbitals grouped in s, p, d (and f) subshells

QUANTUM NUMBERS
The shape, size, and energy of each orbital is
a function of 3 quantum numbers:
n (principal) =>
l (angular) =>
ml (magnetic) =>
shell
subshell
designates an orbital
within a subshell
s (spin) => designates the direction of spin
