Question-1 Briefly sketch how Bohr derived the Rydberg’s empirical formula for atomic spectra using mix of classical mechanics and some ad hoc quantum assumptions. Indicate which steps in the derivation are motivated by classical mechanics and which are the quantum assumptions.

Question-2 Compute ionization energies of H, He+ and Li++ ions (Essentially all of them are one electron atoms) from ground state. Explain the trend.

Solutions

Expert Solution

please note the ground state energy for He+ is ~79 eV instead of 108 eV. The reason behind this is a totally quantum mechanics concept. For this energy proof, you can look into my notes .

Please answer these three questions: 1. What are the differences in spectra between molecular and atomic absorption? Explain these differences using the types of transitions. 2. UV-Vis instruments used to measure molecular absorption typically have a broad wavelength light source while atomic absorption instruments use a light source that produces very narrow bands of light. Both are typically in the same UV-Vis wavelength range. Why don’t they use the same source? 3. Alkenes such as n-hexane are used as solvents...
