The use of lasers to cool atomic translational motion has been one of the most exciting developments in atomic physics in the last 15 years. For excellent reviews, see [66, 67]. Here we give a non-orthodox presentation, based on [68].

The picture of a very dilute solution that we must adopt is shown schematically in Fig 2 Each ion is enclosed in its own co-sphere, while the remainder of the solvent between the ions docs not differ in any way from ordinary pure solvent. As a result of recent progress in atomic physics, we now know in great detail the structure and properties of different species of atomic ions in a vacuum and at the same time we know the physical properties of the pure solvent. In order to understand the properties of a very dilute solution, we need to discuss the portions of solvent that lie in the co-spheres of the ions. 

However, an important development within atomic physics, namely the discovery of isotopy in the 1910s, led some philosophically minded chemists to reexamine Mendeleev s distinction and to rehabilitate it in a modified form. With the rapid discovery of isotopes it began to seem as though there were far more "elements" than the 90 or so which were displayed on periodic tables at the time. The work of Soddy [14], in particular, served to clarify the situation, and one that had been anticipated by Crookes,...

In atomic physics, it is sometimes necessary to calculate integrals over products of three spherical harmonics. These can be reduced conveniently, with the help of the foregoing expression, to integrals over the product of two spherical harmonics, which are known.13 Thus...

The history of the development of quantum concepts to explain observed physical phenomena, which occurred mainly in the first three decades of the twentieth century, is discussed in introductory texts on physical chemistry and on atomic physics. A much more detailed account is given in M. Jammer (1966) The Conceptual Development of Quantum Mechanics (McGraw-Hill, New York). 

The first two chapters serve as an introduction to quantum theory. It is assumed that the student has already been exposed to elementary quantum mechanics and to the historical events that led to its development in an undergraduate physical chemistry course or in a course on atomic physics. Accordingly, the historical development of quantum theory is not covered. To serve as a rationale for the postulates of quantum theory, Chapter 1 discusses wave motion and wave packets and then relates particle motion to wave motion. In Chapter 2 the time-dependent and time-independent Schrodinger equations are introduced along with a discussion of wave functions for particles in a potential field. Some instructors may wish to omit the first or both of these chapters or to present abbreviated versions.

Atoms consist of electrons and protons in equal numbers and, in all cases except the hydrogen atom, some number of neutrons. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges, but greatly different masses. The mass of a proton is 1.67 X 10 24 grams. In atoms that have many electrons, the electrons are not all held with the same energy later we will discuss the shell stmcture of electrons in atoms. At this point, we see that the early experiments in atomic physics have provided a general view of the structures of atoms.
