Introduction Mass of proton = 2000 mass of electron Electrons contribute very little to the total mass of the atom, but occupy an appreciable volume, and are responsible for the atomic bulk. The Quantum Rules: The energy of an object cannot be changed by an arbitrary amount. pendulum or spring Consider a pendulum. 1 1 g k = = 0 , h h h h : Planck s constant natural frequency 2 2 l m http://bp.snu.ac.kr 2
Figs. 8.17 and 8.18 Fig. 15.3 Harmonic Oscillator The array of molecular energy levels used to calculate the molecular partition function. Phonon = Lattice Vibration http://bp.snu.ac.kr 3
Pendulums of different natural frequencies accept and give up quanta of different sizes, and the higher the natural frequency the larger the quantum energy. h = 4.1357 10 eV s if = 1 Hz , h = 4.1357 10 eV too small to be detected. Only when very high frequency motions are involved, the quantum energy h becomes large enough to give rise to significant effects. A mass on a spring oscillating with simple harmonic motion: Phonon = 1013Hz 1 k = 2 m When the mass is that of an atom, the frequency is extremely high, and so we must be prepared for significant quantum effects in vibrating molecules. http://bp.snu.ac.kr 4
Photon Wavelength, (a) (b) Figure F.8 The wave is shown travelling to the right at a speed c. Wavelength and frequency are related by = c. http://bp.snu.ac.kr 5
Figure F.4 Quantization of the energy of different types of motion. Free translational motion in an infinite region is not quantized, and the permitted energy levels form a continuum. Rotation is quantized, and the separation increases as the state of excitation increases (moment of inertia of the molecule). Vibrational motion is quantized, but note the change in scale between the ladders. Electronic energy levels are quantized, and the separations are typically very large (of the order of 1 eV). http://bp.snu.ac.kr 6
Chapter 15 F.5(a) Boltzmann Distribution ConsiderThermalAgitation. Some molecules occupy the lowest energy levels, others will be in the excited levels. Not all reach the higher levels: there is a predominance of molecules in the lower, less energetic states, but the tail of the distribution gets larger and penetrates further into the high energy region as the temperature is raised. (Figure F.5) N ( ) i = exp / E E RT (F.9) ________________ i j N j , E E : molar energies at states i and j R: gas constant, 8.314 JK 1 T: absolute temperature i j Boltzmann s Constant: kB= 8.617 10 eV/K http://bp.snu.ac.kr 7
Low T High T Figure F.5 The Boltzmann distribution predicts that the population of a state decreases exponentially with the energy of the state. Energy (a) At low temperatures, only the lowest states are significantly populated. (b) At high temperatures, there is significant population in high- energy states as well as in low- energy states. At infinite temperature (not shown), all states are equally populated. Population -2014-3-4 http://bp.snu.ac.kr 8

Chapter 15 Figure F.7 The essential content of the Maxwell distribution of molecular speeds. Note how the maximum in the distribution moves to higher speeds as the temperature is increased or, at constant temperature, we consider species of decreasing mass. The distribution also becomes wider as its peak moves to higher speeds. http://bp.snu.ac.kr 10

The Ability to Flow The number of molecules with enough energy to move follows a Boltzmann distribution. ( RT Ea/ exp Activation Energy Activation Enthalpy ) Fluidity where E is the energy to be overcome. Viscosity where E is of the same order as the intermolecular binding energy. ( ) + exp E/ RT Gas Phase The average distance between molecules is normally large relative to their diameter. At low pressure, the intermolecular interactions are likely to be negligible, and the gas satisfies the ideal gas law: p: pressure n: amount of gas T: absolute temperature V: volume = = pV nRT http://bp.snu.ac.kr 13

Kinetics The probability that when the collision occurs it does so with sufficient energy to react will be determined by the Boltzmann distribution.
