Atomic Spectra

The document discusses atomic spectra and transitions between energy levels of electrons in an atom. It shows an atom with an electron configuration and energy level diagram. When electrons transition between energy levels, electromagnetic radiations are emitted. The wavelengths of these radiations depend on the initial and final energy levels and form spectral series like the Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, and Bracket series. Formulas are given for the wavelengths, energies, and ionization potentials related to electron transitions in atoms.

magnetic field due to motion of electrons in first orbit

total energy of an electron in first orbit= (K.E) +(P.E) =13.6eV+(-27.2eV)

= -13.6eV

0eV-(-13.6eV)=13.6eV....this is
ionization energy

free electron ionization energy=13.6eV/n2


ionization potential=ionization energy/e
