Energy of atomization

The theory of chemical reactions has many facets iiicliidiiig elaborate qnaritiim mechanical scattering approaches that treat the kinetic energy of atoms by proper wave mechanical methods. These approaches to chemical reaction theory go far beyond the capabilities of a product like HyperChem as many of the ideas arc yet to have wide-spread practical im plemeiitation s.

According to Allen and Tildesley, the standard recipe to evaluate Af/ in step one of the algorithm described in Sec. IIIB involves computing the energy of atom i with all the other atoms before and after the move (see p. 159 of Ref. 25, italics by the present author) as far as simple fluids are concerned. The evaluation of Af/ can be made more efficient in this case by realizing that for short-range interactions U can be split into three contributions... 

Many other properties have been found to show periodic variations and these can be displayed graphically or by circles of varying size on a periodic table, e.g. melting points of the elements, boiling points, heats of fusion, heats of vaporization, energies of atomization, etc. Similarly, the properties of simple binary...

Absorption and emission spectroscopies provide experimental values for the quantized energies of atomic electrons. The theory of quantum mechanics provides a mathematical explanation that links quantized energies to the wave characteristics of electrons. These wave properties of atomic electrons are described by the Schrddinger equation, a complicated mathematical equation with numerous terms describing the kinetic and potential energies of the atom. 

Quantitative information about energies of atomic orbitals is obtained using photoelectron spectroscopy, which applies the principles of the photoelectric effect to gaseous atoms. Our Box (on the next page) explores this powerful spectroscopic technique. 

In the previous two sections we have described trends in the chemisorption energies of atoms and molecules on metallic surfaces. These express the final situation of the adsorption process. Here we consider what happens when a molecule approaches a surface. 

Hence, a scheme to calculate the H-bonding energy of atoms in a 3D arrangement can be carried out by the following steps ... 

Understanding fusion invites another question If fusing nuclei releases energy, how did the early atomic bombs work In those bombs, nuclei were not fused, they were broken apart by nuclear fission. So, where does the energy of atomic bombs come from An important piece of the answer came from a brilliant Jewish scientist who fled Nazi Germany shortly before World War II.
