    Great video linking physics to chemistry. One thing puzzles me, though. We learned in electron configuration that each electron has its own place in a shell, subshell and orbital. What if a photon bumps an electron residing in 1s to 3p, but 3p is already full. Does the displaced electron kick one of the electrons out of 3p? And what happens to 1s that has lost an electron?

    3:08 I play a game about exploring space, so my analogy is:
    Let's say you have a spacecraft orbiting at a certain distance from the center. You can raise the apoapsis however you want. To get a parabolic escape, you only need a finite amount of energy, after which you end up in a hyperbolic trajectory and have a 'speed at infinity.'

  • @FrostDirt
    @FrostDirt 4 роки тому

    Professor Dave, I think 3:00 is slightly inaccurate. The energy needed to eject an electron is indeed finite (just take the limit as n approaches infinity in the Rydberg's equation), but the distance from the nucleus to the shell that corresponds to n = infinity is infinite, as given by the Bohr's radius:
    r = a_0 n^2
    where n is the shell number. I think you just got mixed up, great video nonetheless.

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  4 роки тому

      No, of course the distance to n = infinity is finite, otherwise electrons could never be ejected from an atom.

  • @rylissanna6491
    @rylissanna6491 Рік тому

    is there a good explanation for why the electron energy is negative? I assume we only use the absolute value when calculating the wavelength because in that case we are only looking at the change in energy (plus wavelength would be positive anyways). But what is the actual energy of the electron, and not the change in energy when it goes through a transition? I know it has something to do with that is really the energy it takes to remove the electron from the atom itself, so how do we mathematically put this together with the total energy in the system of the atom? Not entirely sure if this question makes sense.

      but photons are emitted when an electron relaxes from an excited state to a lower state. it can go from 4 to 2, or 4 to 1, or 3 to 2, any transition is possible and will be accompanied by the emission of a photon of a particular wavelength that corresponds to the change in energy associated with that transition.

      @@ProfessorDaveExplains Oh, so we're talking about photons being _emitted,_ not _absorbed!_ I don't know how I missed that, since I'm pretty sure you explicitly mentioned it in the video now that I think about it. 🤦 So is it just that every element has a single lowest energy level and that determines which frequencies and hence which wavelengths of light it emits?
      Although that still doesn't explain why hydrogen's lowest level would be 2 instead of 1. You said in your video on quantum numbers that the energy levels corresponds to the electron orbitals, yes? Hydrogen has only the single lowest orbital.
