Atomic Structure: Important Formulas
1. Atomic Mass and Moles
- Number of moles: n = m / M
- Number of atoms: Number of atoms = (m / M) × 6.022 × 10^23
2. Subatomic Particles
- Charge of electron: e = -1.6 × 10^-19 C
- Mass of electron: m = 9.1 × 10^-31 kg
3. Electromagnetic Radiation
- Speed of light: c = lambdav
- Energy of a photon: E = hv = hc / lambda
where h = 6.626 × 10^-34 J*s, c = 3 × 10^8 m/s
4. Photoelectric Effect
- Einstein's photoelectric equation: hv = phi + (1/2)mv^2
5. Bohr's Model of the Atom
- Radius of nth orbit: rn = 0.529 × (n² / Z) Å
- Velocity of electron: vn = (2.18 × 10^6 × Z) / n m/s
- Energy of nth orbit: En = -13.6 × (Z² / n²) eV
- Transition energy: DeltaE = E_f - E_i = -13.6 × (Z² / n_f² - Z² / n_i²) eV
6. Wave-Particle Duality (de Broglie Equation)
- de Broglie wavelength: lambda = h / mv
7. Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
- Uncertainty relation: Deltax * Deltap >= h / (4pi)
or Deltax * Deltav >= h / (4pim)
8. Quantum Numbers
- n = 1, 2, 3, ...
- l = 0 to n - 1
- ml = -l to +l
- ms = +/-1/2
9. Number of Orbitals and Electrons
- Orbitals in shell n: n²
- Electrons in shell n: 2n²
- Orbitals in subshell: 2l + 1
10. Spectral Series (Hydrogen)
- Wave number: v = R_H (1/n1² - 1/n2²), R_H = 1.097 × 10^7 m¹
- Lyman: n1 = 1, Balmer: n1 = 2, Paschen: n1 = 3, etc.
