The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom02:45

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

61.6K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

π Electron Effects on Chemical Shift: Overview

1.9K
An applied magnetic field causes loosely bound π-electrons in organic molecules to circulate, producing a local or induced diamagnetic field over a large spatial volume. As the molecules tumble in solution, the field generated by π-electrons in spherical substituents results in a zero net field. However, the net field generated by π-electrons in non-spherical substituents is not zero. The effect of this induced field depends on the orientation of the molecule with respect to B0,...

Electron Configurations02:46

Electron Configurations

28.3K
Electron configurations and orbital diagrams can be determined by applying the Aufbau principle (each added electron occupies the subshell of lowest energy available), Pauli exclusion principle (no two electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers), and Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity (whenever possible, electrons retain unpaired spins in degenerate orbitals).
The relative energies of the subshells determine the order in which atomic orbitals are filled (1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p,...

Electron Orbital Model01:18

Electron Orbital Model

76.5K
Orbitals are the areas outside of the atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to reside. They are characterized by different energy levels, shapes, and three-dimensional orientations. The location of electrons is described most generally by a shell or principal energy level, then by a subshell within each shell, and finally, by individual orbitals found within the subshells.
The first shell is closest to the nucleus, and it has only one subshell with a single spherical orbital called the...

The Bohr Model02:18

The Bohr Model

83.5K
Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Theoretical Chemistry

Background:

  • Traditional visualization methods like transition densities and natural transition orbitals offer limited insight into complex electronic excitation processes.
  • Analyzing electronic excitations is crucial for understanding molecular behavior and designing new materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the particle-hole map (PHM) as a new visualization tool for electronic excitations.
  • To provide detailed insights into electronic excitation processes, especially charge-transfer excitonic processes.
  • To offer a more interpretable alternative to the transition density matrix.

Main Methods:

  • The particle-hole map (PHM) is defined as a nonlocal function of two spatial variables.
  • It is used in conjunction with time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) or other ab initio methods.
  • The PHM analyzes electronic excitations in the time or frequency domain.

Main Results:

  • The PHM provides information on the origins, destinations, and connections of charge fluctuations during excitation.
  • It offers a statistical interpretation involving joint probabilities of individual states and their transitions.
  • The PHM satisfies sum rules and exact conditions, making it easier to interpret than the transition density matrix.

Conclusions:

  • The particle-hole map (PHM) is a valuable tool for analyzing electronic excitations, particularly charge-transfer processes.
  • It enhances the understanding of molecular electronic behavior beyond local visualization methods.
  • Applications demonstrated on model systems and molecules confirm the PHM's utility and interpretability.
