ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Description of the arrangement of
electrons in atoms
Basis
for
understanding
structures
and
properties
elements and their compounds
the
of
HYDROGENIC ATOMS
Hydrogenic atom- H, He+, Li2+, C5+, U91+ etc.
One-electron atom or ion of general atomic
number Z Hydrogenic atom
For Hydrogenic atoms and H,
Schrdinger equation can be solved exactly
These concepts are used to describe structures
of many-electron atoms and molecules

En values are all negative
Electron in an atom has lower energy than when
it is free

n=1, E1=-hcRz2
negative sign means
ground state lies hcRz2 below
the energy of the infinitely
separated electron and nucleus

Electron spin
Spin of an electron is an intrinsic angular momentum
Quantum mechanical phenomenon -no classical
counterpart
Electron spin is described by spin quantum number(1/2)

A photon with its one unit of angular momentum is
generated in a transition
Angular momentum of the electron must change by one
unit
To compensate for the angular momentum carried away
by photon
