Principal, Subsidiary and Magnetic Quantum NumbersCurrent LectureWave Particle DualityWave-Particle Duality– Having the same properties as a wave and a particle. Originally presented by Louis de Broglie.- Wave-particle duality is exhibited by electrons, light and even mangos. - Electrons go through diffraction and can interact with each other as waves, but they also act as electric charges and have particle-like mass.- Light is seen as a wave because itcan diffract, reflect, refract, andinterfere like all other waves.- At certain times, however, scientistscouldn’t explain some of thestrange behaviors of light.- That was, until Einstein proposedthe photoelectric effect (electronsare “knocked” off of metal whenlight is shined on it), which explained the odd behaviors of light and greatly supported wave-particle duality. These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- When light hits a metal, electrons are released through the energy of photons (particles of light). This proved that wave and particle characteristics could overlap.- The behavior of larger objects are dominated by their particle nature, so if electrons exhibit wave-particle duality then all matter would exhibit it as well (including mangos ).- Louis de Broglie showed that both light andmatter exhibited properties of waves andparticles. He developed this formula to calculate the wavelength associated with particles and their momentum (momentum=mv-mass times velocity; “h” represents Planck’s constant.):Heisenberg Uncertainty PrincipleIt’s impossible to know the exact position and exact momentum of an objectsimultaneouslyThe reason for this is simple: basically when you try to find one (whether position or momentum), you alter the other (again, position or momentum): If you wanted to know the position of a particle, you would need to use high frequency light. However, you wouldn’t be able to find the momentum, because the light altered it. If you wanted to know the momentum of a particle, you would need to uselow frequency light. Unfortunately, you wouldn’t be able to locate the position at that exact time, since the particle would have moved. Even with extensive experimentation, it has been proven impossible to know the location and momentum of a particle, simultaneously.Quantum NumbersThere are 4 kinds of quantum numbers: Principal quantum number: n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...o Determines relative energy & orbital size Subsidiary quantum number: l = 0, 1, 2, …, (n‐1)o Determines orbital shape (& some energy) Magnetic quantum number: ml = (-l, …, 0, …, l)o Determines orientation Spin quantum number: ms = +½ or ‐½o Determines spin- The principal quantum number defines a “shell.”- The principal and subsidiaryquantum numbers define a “subshell.”- The principal, subsidiary and magneticquantum numbers define an “orbital.”- All four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) define a specific electron.- The principal quantum number corresponds to the energy level (n=1 is the first energy level or “ground state”).- These energy levels are the same as the periods (rows) of the periodic table (i.e. Hydrogen is in the n=1
