HYDROGEN SPECTRUMANALYSIS

Hydrogen Atom the Swedish carl Wilhelm scheele and Eng. Joseph Priestley reported the existence of new component of air now called “hydrogen”.

Hydrogen in earlier known as “fire Air”.

Electrically neutral atom consist one positively charge proton and one negatively charge electron.

These two particle made it simple two body problem in quantum mechanics .

Solution Of The HydrogenAtom

Plum pudding model

Rutherford model

Bohr’s theory of H-Atom

Schrodinger wave equation solution

Thomson’s model known as plum pudding model which consist corpuscles surround by plums ( positively charge particle ).

Rutherford model

Rutherford (or planetary) model of an atom, in which the positively charged nucleus, which contains the majority of the atomic masses is surrounded by orbiting electrons.

Thomson's & Rutherford's Model

Bohr’s theory of H-AtomElectrons move around the nucleus in orbits, like a solar system. The orbits are sometimes called energy levels.

Planetary Model

Electrons cannot exist between orbits (energy is quantized)

Bohr’s theory of H-Atom

Ground state- electrons are in the lowest energy level possible

Excited state - If energy is put into the atom, the electrons will jump up in energy (move away from the nucleus)

Excited electrons naturally go back to ground state. In order to do this, energy must leave the atom. Because energy is quantized in an atom, the amount of energy that leaves is the difference in energy between orbits.

If this energy is in the visible light range, we will see certain colors

Schrodinger Equation of H-AtomSchrodinger equation gives an account of H-

atom with the addition of quantum mechanics.

H-atom has one electron and one proton and electrostatic potential holds them .

Time independent potential is called stationary states potential that can be use in Schrodinger equation to get

2m e + E - - = 0x 4 ε r

This is r dependent so we will solve a 3-D Schrodinger wave equation in spherical, polar co-ordinates.

In spherical polar coordinates, r is the length of the radius vector from the origin to a point (xyz)

2 2 2r = x +y +z , is the angle between the radius vector and the +z axis

zθ = cos , x +y +z

and is the angle between the projection of the radius vector onto the XY plane and the +X axis

point (xyz)

The equations on the previous slide tell us how to express (r ) in terms of (xyz). We can also express (xyz) in terms of (r ):

x = r sin θ cos , y = r sin θ sin , z = r cos θ .

Now we can re-write the 3D Schrödinger equation

In three dimensions, and in spherical polar coordinates, as

By the method of separation this equation will give us the solution for (r,θ,φ), from the solutions of that separated equation we gets the ground state and excited states energies.

The energy Eigen values obtain from the last equation on the previous slide is given by

By the calculation we get the ground state energy E = 13.6 electron volt

The energies obtain from the Bohr’s & Variation methods are also give equivalent energy to this .
