The Potential “Box”
If you confine an electron in a box … what would you expect the
wave-function to be?
Think of it as a combination of 3 one-dimensional infinite
potential wells… and therefore
the general solution will have the form of:
ψ(x,y,z)  Asin(kx x)sin(ky y)sin(kz z)

The solution to the electron in a “box” problem results in 3
quantum numbers
A specific solution or eigenfunction i.e.
ψ1,1,2 or ψ2,1,2 or ψ1,4,2 or ψ2,1,3 etc.
is called a state …
Note that the electron energy is quantized and depends on 3
quantum numbers
The H-Atom … An Overview
Describe the H-atom …
i.e. what does the nucleus look like?
how much charge is there at the nucleus?
i.e. Z=1
how many electrons?
The H-atom represents the simplest system we can use to have
a look at a real quantum physics example
The H-Atom … Force & PE
Obviously the electron is being attracted to the nucleus because
of the …
… Coulombic attraction between two opposite charges!
The force between two charges is:
Q1  Q2
F
4π  εor 2
and the potential energy is given by:
- e2
V(r) 
4π  εor
The H-Atom … Spherical Coordinates
Due to the spherical symmetry of the H-atom … it makes sense
to work in the spherical coordinate system instead of the
cartesian one … i.e. x, y, z  r,θ,φ

The H-Atom … Wavefunction
No need to go through the solution in detail …
… we do however need to understand the origin of certain
parameters and functions!
Obtaining the wavefunction for the H-atom electron can be done
by solving …
… in 3-dimensions
i.e. one would expect to get
… 3 quantum numbers!
And the general wave function looks like:
ψ n,l,m l (r, θ, φ)  R n,l (r)  Yl,m l (θ , φ)
The H-Atom … Quantum Numbers
ψ n,l,m l (r, θ, φ)  R n,l (r)  Yl,m l (θ , φ)
Two functions … R a function of r and Y a function of θ and φ
Three quantum numbers! … n, l, ml
The spherical part i.e. R depends on n and l
… while the angular or spherical one, Y depends on l and ml
n=1,2,3,4,…… is the Principal Quantum Number
l=0,1,2,3 ……(n-1) is the Orbital Angular Momentum Quantum
Number
ml=-l, -(l-1), -(l-2), ……-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …+l is the Magnetic
Quantum Number

What does this energy represent ?

state (i.e. to free the electron)
also known as the ionization energy …

Electrons prefer to minimize their energy … therefore most likely
to be found in n=1 state known as the ground state!
An electron with velocity 2.1E6 m/s strikes a H atom. Find the n th
energy level the electron will excite to. Calculate the wavelength of
the light as the electron returns to ground state.

Selection Rules …
Electron has momentum … also photons have intrinsic momentum
When photons are absorbed … in addition to the energy
conservation momentum must also be conserved …
Selection rules: Δl=±1 … Δml=0, ±1
i.e. if electron is in ground state 1,0,0 … (n,l,ml)
If enough energy is gained to move up to n=2 then what are l
and ml?
l …0, 1 … and ml … -1, 0, 1
Therefore … n=2, l=1, and ml=-1,0,1
