Information about the structure of a molecule can frequently be obtained from observations of its absorption spectrum. The positions of the absorption bands due to any molecule depend upon its atomic and electronic configuration. To a first approximation, the internal energy E oi a, molecule can be regarded as composed of additive contributions from the electronic motions within the molecule (Et), the vibrational motions of the constituent atoms relative to one another E ), and the rotational motion of the molecule as a whole (Ef) ... 

Section 1 1 A review of some fundamental knowledge about atoms and electrons leads to a discussion of wave functions, orbitals, and the electron con figurations of atoms Neutral atoms have as many electrons as the num ber of protons m the nucleus These electrons occupy orbitals m order of increasing energy with no more than two electrons m any one orbital The most frequently encountered atomic orbitals m this text are s orbitals (spherically symmetrical) and p orbitals ( dumbbell shaped)... 

When an energetic ion penetrates a soHd, it undergoes a series of coUisions with the atoms and electrons in the target. In these coUisions the incident particle loses energy at a rate of a few to 100 eV pet nanometer, depending on the energy and mass of the ion as well as on the substrate material. 

It is clear that tire rate of growdr of a reaction product depends upon two principal characteristics. The first of these is the thermodynamic properties of the phases which are involved in the reaction since these determine the driving force for the reaction. The second is the transport properties such as atomic and electron diffusion, as well as thermal conduction, all of which determine the mobilities of particles during the reaction within the product phase. 

When a heavy energetic particle such as an argon ion (typically 1 to 15 keV) hits a surface, it will not be stopped short by the first layer of atoms but continues into the surface until it comes to a halt as a result of energy lost in atomic and electronic scat-... 

As noted earlier in this section, branched alkanes have lower boiling points than theii unbr anched isomer s. Isomer s have, of cour se, the sane number of atoms and electrons, but a molecule of a br anched alkane has a smaller sur face ar ea than an unbr anched one. The extended shape of an unbranched alkane permits more points of contact for intermolecular- associations. Compare the boiling points of pentane and its isomer s ...

The energies, geometries and electron distribution of the reaction partners can be used to describe the characteristic motions of the atoms and electrons during the reaction. The difference of the total energy of the educts and products AE — the reaction energy — can be linked to the thermochemistry of the reaction. That is valid for the brutto reaction...

Chemists keep track of individual atoms and electrons at the atomic level, but in the laboratory, chemists measure mass. Neither the numbers nor the masses of atoms and electrons change during chemical transformations, so mass is also conserved. For example, the burning of 1 g of methane and 2 g of oxygen produces 3 g of carbon dioxide and water. 

Use the strategies from Chapter 9 to determine the Lewis structure, steric number of the inner atom, and electron group geometry. The steric number also determines the hybridization.

Electronic interactions with the formation of bonding molecular orbitals (orbital energy) and the electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of atoms and electrons. These two contributions cause the bonding forces of covalent bonds. 

Let us consider once more the chain of hydrogen atoms, but this time we put it together starting from H2 molecules. In the beginning the chain then consists of H atoms, and electron pairs occur between every other pair of atoms. Nevertheless, let us still assume equidistant H atoms. The orbitals of the H2 molecules interact with one another to give a... 

Guideline 2. The atomic and electronic structure of the reactants and products may provide important clues as to the nature of possible intermediate species. The degree of atomic and electronic rearrangement that takes place will often indicate which portions of the reactant molecules participate in the reaction act and which would be involved in elementary reactions leading to the formation of reaction intermediates. The structural arrangement of atoms in the molecules that react must correspond at the instant of reaction to interatomic distances appropriate for the formation of new species.
