01:03 Let us start the demonstration.
01:06 Use the given link to download the simulation.
01:11 I have already downloaded Models of the Hydrogen Atom simulation to my Downloads folder.
01:18 To run the simulation, open the terminal.
01:22 At the prompt type cd space Downloads and press Enter.
01:29 Then type, java space hyphen jar space hydrogen hyphen atom_en.jar and press Enter.
01:41 Models of the Hydrogen Atom simulation opens.
01:45 Top-left corner of the screen has a menu bar with menu items File and Help.
01:52 Below the menu bar, there is a grey button with two options, Experiment and Prediction.
02:01 By default Experiment mode opens.
02:05 On the screen, we see an experimental setup with a light gun to emit beam of photons.
02:13 There is also a Box of Hydrogen.
02:16 This box is filled with hydrogen atoms.
02:20 The zoom-in box represents a single hydrogen atom.
02:25 A message appears.
02:28 It prompts you to click on the red button to turn on the light beam.
02:33 The light gun has two light controls, White and Monochromatic.
02:41 By default White light is selected.
02:45 Click on Prediction option on the grey button.
02:49 Atomic Model panel opens on the left-side of the screen.
02:54 It has a list of Classical and Quantum Atomic Models.
02:59 Here we can check how the prediction of a model matches the experimental results.
03:06 Legend box on the right-side of the screen has a list of sub-atomic particles.
03:13 At the bottom of the screen we have, Slider to control speed of animation Play/Pause and Step buttons.
03:25 The first model of atom proposed, is the Billiard Ball model.
03:30 By default Billiard Ball is selected from the list.
03:35 Billiard Ball Model
03:38 Billiard Ball model is also called as Dalton's atomic model.
03:44 It was proposed by John Dalton.
03:48 According to this model, individual atom is visualized as solid, hard spheres, like billiard balls.
03:58 Click on the red button of the light gun.
04:02 Select White light.
04:05 A beam of photons having different wave lengths pass through box of hydrogen.
04:11 Observe that, All photons in the path of hydrogen atoms are deflected.
04:17 Limitations of Billiard Ball model.
04:21 Here are the limitations of Billiard Ball model.
04:27 Back to the simulation.
04:30 Turn off the light beam.
04:33 Click on Plum Pudding from the Atomic Model list.
04:37 This model was proposed by J. J. Thomson in 1898.
04:43 The positive charge is uniformly distributed and electrons are embedded into it.
04:50 The brown mass is the positive charge.
04:53 Blue color particle in the middle is the electron.
04:57 Click on Show spectrometer check-box.
05:01 Turn on the light beam.
05:04 Select White light.
05:07 When photons strikes electron, the electron moves and photons deflected.
05:13 Notice that, spectrum consists of only emitted uv photons.
05:19 Turn off the light beam.
05:23 Limitations of Plum Pudding model
05:27 Here are the limitations of Plum Pudding model.
05:32 Based on the above observations, Rutherford proposed the Classical solar system model of atom.
05:42 Solar System Model Rutherford nuclear model of an atom is like a small scale solar system.
05:49 Nucleus plays the role of sun and the electrons that of revolving planets.
05:55 The very small positive charge portion of the atom was called nucleus.
06:01 Electrons move around the nucleus.
06:05 They move with very high speed in circular paths called orbits.
06:11 Back to the simulation.
06:14 Pause the simulation.
06:17 Click on Classical Solar System from the list.
06:21 Screen has Show electron energy level diagram check-box at the top-right corner.
06:28 Click on the check box.
06:31 It shows the energy of the electron.
06:35 If this model were true, it should take an electron only a fraction of a second to spiral into the nucleus.
06:43 Turn on the light beam.
06:46 Drag the speed slider to slow.
06:50 Click on Step button to view the energy of the electron.
06:55 Energy of the electron goes from highest to lowest in a fraction of a second.
07:03 We know that this does not happen.
07:07 Atom is known to be stable.
07:10 Turn off the light beam.
07:13 Limitations of Solar System model Rutherford model cannot explain, The stability of an atom and also, The distribution of electrons and their energies.
07:28 Back to the simulation.
07:31 From the Atomic Model list, click on Bohr.
07:35 Neils Bohr proposed a model of hydrogen atom to improve upon Rutherford's model.
07:42 According to this model, The electron moves around the nucleus in an orbit of fixed radius and energy.
07:50 The energy of an electron in the orbit does not change with time.
07:56 These orbits are called energy levels.
08:00 These orbits are represented by n=1,2,3,4 etc in the Electron energy level diagram.
08:13 Turn on the light beam.
08:15 Click on Play button.
08:18 Initially there is an electron in the 1st orbit of an atom.
08:23 Electron energy level diagram shows electron at n =1st level.
08:29 Observe the electronic transition in Electron energy level diagram.
08:34 Electron absorbs photon and gets excited to higher level.
08:39 Energy is emitted when electron moves from higher level to lower level.
08:45 This electron returns back to 1st level.
08:49 Observe the spectrometer.
08:52 Spectrometer shows emitted photons.
08:56 Under Light controls, click on Monochromatic radio button.
09:01 Then check Show absorption wavelengths checkbox.
09:05 You will see four vertical spectral lines.
09:09 These lines represent the wavelengths of absorption.
09:14 The slider is highlighted on the first line.
09:18 Wavelength, 94 nm as shown in the text box.
09:23 As the photon strikes the electron, observe the electronic transition at 94 nm in Electron energy level diagram.
09:32 The electron moves to n= 6th level.
09:36 After a while it moves to lower level by emitting photon.
09:42 Turn off the light beam.
09:45 As an assignment, Select Bohr Atomic model.
09:50 Change the light beam to Monochromatic.
09:53 Observe the electronic transitions at 103 nm, 112 nm, and 122 nm absorption wave lengths.
10:04 Observe the energy level diagram and the spectrometer results.
10:09 Note the observation and give an explanation.
10:13 Limitations of Bohr’s model
10:16 Bohr's model was unable to explain the following phenomena.
10:24 Back to the simulation.
10:26 Another model based on dual behavior of electrons was proposed.
10:32 Click on de Broglie from the Atomic Model list.
10:36 Notice the wave which represents electron in zoom-in box.
10:42 deBroglie Atomic Model: The French physicist, de Broglie in 1924 proposed dual behavior of electrons.
10:51 Like radiation, matter should also exhibit both particle and wavelike properties.
10:58 Electrons should also have momentum as well as wavelength.
11:03 Turn on the light beam.
11:05 Notice that the electron absorbs photon and moves to higher energy level orbit.
11:12 Electron at higher energy level emits energy.
11:16 It returns to the lower energy level orbit.
11:20 Observe the electronic transitions in energy level diagram.
11:25 Top-left corner of the view box has radial view drop-down box.
11:30 Click on drop-down arrow.
11:33 Scroll to 3D view and click on it.
11:37 Now observe the wave nature of electron in 3D view.
11:42 Turn off the light beam.
11:45 In order to explain the spectrum of hydrogen atom, theory of quantum mechanics came into existence.
11:53 Schrödinger Model : Erwin Schrödinger proposed the quantum mechanical model of the atom.
12:00 Schrödinger used mathematical equations to describe the probability of finding an electron.
12:07 Quantum Numbers: The three coordinates that come from Schrodinger's wave equations are quantum numbers, Principal (n), Angular (l), and Magnetic (m).
12:19 Quantum numbers describe size, shape and orientation of the orbitals.
12:26 Back to simulation.
12:29 Click on Schrödinger from the list.
12:32 In the zoom in box, atom is shown with nucleus surrounded by electron cloud.
12:38 Switch back to White light.
12:41 Turn on the light beam.
12:43 Observe that electron absorbs photon and moves to different orbital.
12:49 Observe the shapes of orbitals as the electron moves.
12:54 Notice the electronic transitions in Electron energy level diagram.
12:59 In addition to value of n, energy level diagram has values for l and m also.
13:06 Note n, l, m values at the bottom right corner of the view box.
13:12 Note the change in n, l, m values as the photons strike the electrons.
13:19 All these models compare how the experimental results match with the prediction.
13:26 As an assignment, For the Schrodinger's atomic model, select Monochromatic light beam.
13:34 Note n,l,m values for the electron at four absorption wavelengths.
13:41 Note the orbital shape and possible orientation for each wavelength.
