Energy states, atom

To fill their energy shells and reach a lower energy state, atoms sometimes share more than one pair of electrons. Oxygen, for example, has six electrons in its outer valence shell. The most common form of atmospheric oxygen is 02. For both atoms to complete their electron shells, they must share two pairs of electrons. The reaction to form the molecule and its structure would then be represented as ...

VV e now wish to establish the general functional form of possible wavefunctions for the two electrons in this pseudo helium atom. We will do so by considering first the spatial part of the u a efunction. We will show how to derive functional forms for the wavefunction in which the i change of electrons is independent of the electron labels and does not affect the electron density. The simplest approach is to assume that each wavefunction for the helium atom is the product of the individual one-electron solutions. As we have just seen, this implies that the total energy is equal to the sum of the one-electron orbital energies, which is not correct as ii ignores electron-electron repulsion. Nevertheless, it is a useful illustrative model. The wavefunction of the lowest energy state then has each of the two electrons in a Is orbital ...

If all spins ( 1/2) in an atom or molecule are paired (equal numbers of spin +1/2 and -1/2), the total spin must be zero, and that state is described as a singlet (total spin, S = 0 and the state is described by the term 2S + 1 = 1). When a singlet ground-state atom or molecule absorbs a photon, a valence electron of spin 1/2 moves to a higher energy level but maintains the same... 

Multiphoton ionization. Occurs when an atom or molecule and its associated ions have energy states in which they can absorb the energy in two or more photons.

Atomic and Molecular Energy Levels. Absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation can occur by any of several mechanisms. Those important in spectroscopy are resonant interactions in which the photon energy matches the energy difference between discrete stationary energy states (eigenstates) of an atomic or molecular system = hv. This is known as the Bohr frequency condition. Transitions between...
