  1. Degree of Freedom • Number of independent intensive variables needed to specify its intensive state. T, P and mole fraction in each phase.

  2. What happens to boiling point or freezing point of a liquid in the presence of a solute? What happens to chemical potential of a liquid in the presence of solute?

  3. There is elevation of boiling point upon addition of a solute. There is depression of freezing point upon addition of a solute.

  5. Pre- Quantum Mechanics (History of quantum mechanics) • Laws of motion formulated by Galileo, Newton, Lagrange, Hamilton, Maxwell which preceded quantum theory are referred to as Classical Mechanics. • The essence of classical mechanics is given in Newton’s laws • For a given force if the initial position and the velocity of the particle is known all physical quantities such as position, momentum, angular momentum, energy etc. at all subsequent times can be calculated. • Other formulations provide same information as obtained from Newton’s Formulation. • Failures of Classical mechanics led to the Need of Quantum mechanics.

  6. Why are Cherries Red and Blueberries blue ? A fundamentally new understanding of size is required ?

  7. Why CO2 is a greenhouse gas ? How electricity can move through metals ?

  8. Classical mechanics describes the motion of a baseball, the spinning of a top, and the flight of an airplane. • Quantum mechanics describes the motion of electrons and the shapes of molecules such as trans fats, as well as electrical conductivity and superconductivity.

  9. Classical mechanics failed to describe experiments on atomic and molecular phenomena : • classical physics cannot describe light particles (for example, electrons) • a new theory is required (i.e., quantum mechanics) • Recall that classical physics: • allows energy to have any desired value • predicts a precise trajectory for particles (i.e., deterministic)

  10. Quantization of Energy

  11. Failures of Classical mechanics • Black Body Radiation: • WHAT IS BLACK BODY ? • A black body is a theoretical object that absorbs 100% of the radiationthat hits it. Therefore it reflects no radiation and appears perfectly black. • It is also a perfect emitter of radiation. At a particular temperature the black body would emit the maximum amount of energy possible for that temperature.

  12. An opaque object emits electromagnetic radiationaccording to its temperature

  13. Red stars are relatively cool. A yellow star, such as our own sun, is hotter. A blue star is very hot.

  14. Planck Spectrum • As an object is heated, the radiation it emits peaks at higher and higher frequencies. • Shown here are curves corresponding to temperatures of 300 K (room temperature), 1000 K (begin to glow deep red) 4000 K (red hot), and 7000 K (white hot).

  15. Rayleigh-Jean’s law • The energy density pν per unit frequency interval at a frequency ν is, according to the The Rayleigh-Jeans Radiation,

  16. Black body Radiation • Although the Rayleigh-Jeans law works for low frequencies, it diverges at high ν • This divergence for high frequencies is called the ultraviolet catastrophe.

  17. Classical physics would predict that even relatively cool objects should radiate in the UV and visible regions. In fact, classical physics predicts that there would be no darkness!

  18. Black body Radiation • Max Planck explained the blackbody radiation in 1900 by assuming that the energies of the oscillations of electrons which gave rise to the radiation must be proportional to integral multiples of the frequency, i.e., E = nhν

  19. Planck’s Concept • The average energy per "mode" or "quantum" is the energy of the quantum times the probability that it will be occupied 

  20. Planck won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 The recognition that energy changes in discreet quanta at the atomic level marked the beginning of quantum mechanics.

  21. Heat capacities of monoatomic solids • Classical physics predicts a constant value (25 JK−1mol−1) for the molar heat capacity of monoatomic solids. • Experiments at low temperatures, however, revealed that the molar heat capacity approaches zero when temperature approaches zero. • Assumption of discrete energy levels (a collection of harmonic oscillators) again led • to a model that matched the experimental observations (Einstein (1905)).

  22. Atomic and molecular spectra • Atomic and molecular spectra: Absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation (i.e., photons) by atoms and molecules occur only at discrete energy values. • Classical physics would predict absorption or emission at all energies.

  23. Emission Lines • Every element has a DIFFERENT finger print.

  24. Wave or particle ??

  25. Young’s Double Slit experiment A diffraction pattern of alternating dark and bright fringes

  26. Young Double Slit Experiment (Wave Nature of Light) The interference pattern would arise only if we consider electrons as waves, which interfere with each other (i.e. constructive and deconstructive interference).

  27. Wave nature of photon (De Broglie) • Particles such as electrons has a wave description.

  28. De Broglie wave • The de Broglie wave for a particle is made up of a superposition of an infinitely large number of waves of form The waves that are added together have infinitesimally different wavelengths. This superposition of waves produces a wave packet.

  29. RED LIGHT EJECTS SLOWER ELECTRONS THAN BLUE LIGHT

  30. Photoelectric effect • For a particular metal and a given color of light, say blue, it is found that the electrons come out with a well-defined speed, and that the number of electrons that come out depends on the intensity of the light. • If the intensity of light is increased, more electrons come out, but each electron has the same speed, independent of the intensity of the light. • If the color of light is changed to red, the electron speed is slower, and if the color is made redder and redder, the electrons’ speed is slower and slower. • For red enough light, electrons cease to come out of the metal.

  31. Failure of classical theory to explain Photoelectric effect • Using the classical Maxwell wave theory of light, • the more intense the incident light the greater the energy with which the electrons should be ejected from the metal. That is, the average energy carried by an ejected (photoelectric) electron should increase with the intensity of the incident light. • Hence it is expected : lag time between exposure of the metal and emission of electron. • Therefore, classical theory could not explain the characteristics of photoelectric effect: • Instantaneous emission of electrons • Existence of threshold frequency • Dependence of kinetic of the emitted electron on the frequency of light.

  32. Einstein explanation of Photoelectric effect Einstein (1905) successfully resolved this paradox by employing Planck’s idea of quantization of energy and proposed that the incident light consisted of individual quanta, called photons, that interacted with the electrons in the metal like discrete particles, rather than as continuous waves. hν = K.E + W where ν is frequency of radiation, K.E. is kinetic energy of emitted electron, W is work potential W= hν0 (ν0 is threshold frequency) K.E. = hν - hν0 K.E.= h (ν - ν0 ) Though most commonly observed phenomena with light can be explained by waves. But the photoelectric effect suggested a particle nature for light.

  33. Wave-Particle Duality: Light Does light consist of particles or waves? When one focuses upon the different types of phenomena observed with light, a strong case can be built for a wave picture: Reflection Refraction Interference Diffraction Polarization Photoelectric effect Compton scattering Most commonly observed phenomena with light can be explained by waves. But the photoelectric effect and the Compton scatering suggested a particle nature for light. Then electrons too were found to exhibit dual natures.

  34. Wave Nature of Electron As a young student at the University of Paris, Louis DeBroglie had been impacted by relativity and the photoelectric effect, both of which had been introduced in his lifetime. The photoelectric effect pointed to the particle properties of light, which had been considered to be a wave phenomenon. He wondered if electons and other "particles" might exhibit wave properties. The application of these two new ideas to light pointed to an interesting possibility: Confirmation of the DeBroglie hypothesis came in the Davisson- Germer experiment which showed interference patterns – in agreement with DeBroglie wavelength – for the scattering of electrons on nickel crystals.

  35. DeBroglie Wavelengths • The de Broglie wavelength λ for macroscopic particles are negligibly small • This effect is extremely important for light particles, like electrons.

  36. Wave or Particle (Size ??) • Objects that are large in the absolute sense have the property that the wavelengths associated with them are completely negligible compared to their size. Therefore, large particles only manifest their particle nature, they never manifest their wave nature.

  37. Quantization of angular momentum Bohr’s postulate

  38. Bohr Atomic Model : Angular Momentum Quantization • Bohr proposed a quantum restriction on classical model i.e. the angular momentum of the revolving electron is an integral multiple of basic unit (h/2π) • mvr = n (h/2π) • Combining the energy of the classical electron orbit with the quantization of angular momentum, the Bohr approach yields expressions for the electron orbit radii and energies: substitution for r gives the Bohr energies and radii:

  39. The Bohr model for an electron transition in hydrogen between quantized energy levels with different quantum numbers n yields a photon by emission, with quantum energy This is often expressed in terms of the inverse wavelength or "wave number" as follows: Ritz Equation

  40. Spectral series Shown by Hydrogen atom: Lyman series (ultraviolet region) : n1 = 1, n2 = 2, 3, 4, ….. Balmer Series (visible region) : n1 = 2, n2 = 3, 4, 5 ….. Paschen Series (infrared region): n1 = 3, n2 = 4, 5, 6 ….. Brackett Series (infrared region): n1 = 4, n2 = 5, 6, 7 ….. Pfund series (far infrared region): n1 = 5, n2 = 6, 7, 8 …..

  41. Wave-particle dualityand Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Can the radius be specified exactly ?

  42. Although de Broglie’s equation justifies Bohr’s quantization assumption, it also demonstrates a deficiency of Bohr’s model. Heisenberg showed that the waveparticle duality leads to the famous uncertainty principle ∆x∆p ≈ h (9) • One result of the uncertainty principle is that if the orbital radius of an electron in an atom r is known exactly, then the angular momentum must be completely unknown. The problem with Bohr’s model is that it specifies r exactly and it also specifies that the orbital angular momentum must be an integral multiple of h¯. Thus the stage was set for a new quantum theory which was consistent with the uncertainty principle.
