Unit-1 Atomic and Molecular Structure
Classical Mechanics: The Branch of science based on the Newton’s laws of motion and Max-
well’s Electromagnetic wave theory to explain the phenomenon related to motion and energy is
known as Classical mechanics or Newtonian Mechanics.
Classical Mechanics assume that energy is emitted or absorbed continuously whereas Plank’s
Quantum Theory assumes energy is emitted or absorbed continuously or discontinuously in the
forms of packets of energy, called quanta.
Classical mechanics says that it is possible to determine the position and velocity of a moving
particle simultaneously, but contradicted by Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Wave mechanics also called Quantum Mechanics/ Particle Mechanics as it deals with
the problems arises with the particles such as electrons, nuclei, atoms, molecules, etc.
There are several other conditions where the classical and the quantum mechanics are same
We will discuss and compare after studying the quantum mechanics.
Unit-1 Atomic and Molecular Structure
De Broglie Hypothesis
Newton said that Light is the stream of particles which are called photons, But failed to explain
the phenomenon of interference and Diffraction, only valid if the light has the wave nature
On the other hand, black body radiation and photoelectric effect explains that light has a particle
nature
Different experiments has been done to prove that the light has dual character,
Particle as well as wave.
Unit-1 Atomic and Molecular Structure
Unit-1 Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Unit-1 Sinusoidal Wave Equation
Consider the Motion of a wave in any particular direction say x axis
At any time t, the upward displacement of a wave is given by y as a function of position x and time
t, i.e. y = f (x, t)
Unit-1 Schrodinger Wave Equation
Electron has both nature: Particle as well as Wave
Motion of the electron in terms of an equation is called Wave Equation
Unit-1 Schrodinger Wave Equation
