Energy Associated With a Charge Distribution01:21

Energy Associated With a Charge Distribution

1.5K
The work done to bring a charge through a distance r is given by the potential difference between the initial and the final position. To assemble a collection of point charges, the total work done can be expressed in terms of the product of each pair of charges divided by their separation distance, defined with respect to a suitable origin. Solving this expression gives the energy stored in a point charge distribution.

The Energies of Atomic Orbitals

23.8K
In an atom, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus. In a multielectron atom, electron-electron repulsions are also observed. The attractive and repulsive forces are dependent on the distance between the particles, as well as the sign and magnitude of the charges on the individual particles. When the charges on the particles are opposite, they attract each other. If both particles have the same charge, they repel each other.

Force and Potential Energy in One Dimension

5.3K
Force can be calculated from the expression for potential energy, which is a function of position. The component of a conservative force, in a particular direction, equals the negative of the derivative of the corresponding potential energy with respect to the displacement in that direction. For regions where potential energy changes rapidly with displacement, the work done and force is maximum. Also, when force is applied along the positive coordinate axis, the potential energy decreases with...

Arrhenius Plots

38.7K
The Arrhenius equation relates the activation energy and the rate constant, k, for chemical reactions. In the Arrhenius equation, k = Ae−Ea/RT, R is the ideal gas constant, which has a value of 8.314 J/mol·K, T is the temperature on the kelvin scale, Ea is the activation energy in J/mole, e is the constant 2.7183, and A is a constant called the frequency factor, which is related to the frequency of collisions and the orientation of the reacting molecules.
The Arrhenius equation can be used...

Coulomb's Law01:30

Coulomb's Law

9.0K
Experiments with electric charges have shown that if two objects each have an electric charge, they exert an electric force on each other. The magnitude of the force is linearly proportional to the net charge on each object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The direction of the force vector is along the imaginary line joining the two objects and is dictated by the signs of the charges involved.
Newton's third law applies to the Coulomb force — the...

Electric Field of Two Equal and Opposite Charges01:30

Electric Field of Two Equal and Opposite Charges

5.8K
Atoms generally contain the same number of positively and negatively charged particles, protons, and electrons. Hence, they are electrically neutral. However, the centers of the positive and negative charges do not always coincide. In such a scenario, the electric field of an atom may not be zero.
A separation of the positive and negative charges can lead to a weak, remnant effect of the positive and negative charges. The expectation is that the more the distance between the positive and...

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Theoretical Chemistry

Background:

  • Accurate calculation of exchange repulsion energy (Exr) is vital for understanding molecular interactions.
  • Previous partitioning methods of Exr using Hartree-Fock orbitals showed poor correlation with actual energy values.
  • A need exists for a more physically meaningful and intuitive decomposition of Exr.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive a physically meaningful partitioning of the exchange repulsion energy (Exr) expression.
  • To develop a method that provides intuitive insights into the contributions to Exr.
  • To introduce a new partitioning scheme termed Molecular Orbital Pair Contributions to the Exchange repulsion energy (MOPCE).

Main Methods:

  • Partitioning the exchange repulsion energy expression derived from Hartree-Fock orbitals.
  • Collecting kinetic energy contributions into a term that vanishes for stationary Hartree-Fock orbitals.
  • Analyzing the remaining terms, distinguishing exchange integral contributions and repulsion energy contributions with varying orbital indices.

Main Results:

  • A novel partitioning of Exr was derived, separating kinetic and potential energy contributions.
  • A more meaningful partitioning was achieved by isolating terms that vanish for exact Hartree-Fock orbitals.
  • The proposed Molecular Orbital Pair Contributions to the Exchange repulsion energy (MOPCE) scheme provides intuitive insights into Exr.

Conclusions:

  • The derived partitioning offers a physically sound and intuitive method for analyzing exchange repulsion energy.
  • The MOPCE scheme provides a detailed understanding of the contributions to Exr based on orbital interactions.
  • The method's validity and utility were demonstrated through applications to H2, water dimer, and Ar interacting with Cl2/N2.
