Abstract

In this work the Schrödinger equation of the hydrogen-like atom is analytically solved. Three sets of analytical solution are obtained if the factor r−l is not neglected. The first solution is the same as the traditional radial wave function; another one diverges; the last one is far different from the traditional solution. On the consideration of the finite size of the nucleus, the third wave function does not diverge while r approaches to zero. Its radial wave function has below characteristics: (1) the angular-momentum quantum number l must be greater than the principal quantum number n; (2) l must not be 0 or 1; (3) the electron-cloud distribution differs from the traditional one; (4) the electron is closer to the nucleus by comparison with that in traditional results. On the other hand, the validity of solutions needs to be verified experimentally. 1.

Further Study on the Analytical Solution of Schr dinger Equation of a Hydrogen-Like Atom

Zhong Zhang, Zhao Zhang

Based on the previous works, the Schrdinger equation of the hydrogen-like atom is analytically solved further. Three sets of analytical solutions are obtained if the factor r~ -nis not neglected. The first solution is the same as the traditional radial wave function, the second diverges, and the last one is quite different from the traditional solution. On the consideration of the finite size of the nuclear, the third wave function does not diverge when r approaches to zero. Its radial wave function has the following characteristics: (1) the angular-momentum quantum number l must be greater than the principal quantum number n; (2) l must not be 0 or 1; (3) the electron-cloud distribution differs from the traditional one; (4) the electron is closer to the nuclear than that in traditional results. On the other hand, the validity of solutions needs to be verified experimentally.

Hydrogen-like Atomic Wavefunctions: A First Sketch

Jochen Autschbach

Abstract This chapter reiterates the quantum numbers for atomic orbitals, known from general chemistry, and places them into the context developed so far. It is sketched how the Schrodinger equation (SE) for the hydrogen atom hydrogen-like systems (one electron plus a nucleus of charge Z) is set up. When the nucleus is treated as a fixed point charge, the SE is only for the electron. The solutions of the SE can be obtained by switching to spherical polar coordinates, such that the variables are separable in terms of the electron distance from the nucleus, r, and two angles. The kinetic energy of the electron then has a radial component, and an angular component. The latter is associated with the angular momentum quantum number, which is codified by the letters s, p, d, f, and so forth. A step by step solution of the SE is provided later, in chapter 19.

RADIAL WAVE FUNCTION AND SOLUTIONS OF HYDROGEN-LIKE ATOMS

Madraimova Zahro Dilmurod qizi, Worldly Knowledge Publishing Centre

This paper investigates the radial wave function of hydrogen-like atoms based on the Schrödinger equation. The radial equation is solved using Laguerre polynomials, and radial wave functions are calculated for the states n=1–5. For n=4 and n=5, the effect of the orbital quantum number on the function is analyzed graphically. The results show that the electron energy primarily depends on the principal quantum number.

The lightest and simplest arrangement of protons and electrons is a hydrogen atom. One of the wave characteristics of an atom can be known using the Schrodinger equation. Schrodinger's equations of spherical coordinates consist of radial equations and angular equations.

Hydrogen Atom

Ram Yatan Prasad, Pranita

This chapter begins with the simple solution of the Schrödinger equation for hydrogen atom for which the energy value has been derived. The Bohr radius of H atom has also been computed. After this, this chapter provides the generalised solution of the Schrödinger equation for H atom/hydrogen-like species in which F equation, R equation, and T equations have been derived in a simple and lucid way. This chapter also deals with the Laguerre differential equation, Laguerre polynomials, Rodrigues formula for the Laguerre polynomials, Laguerre associated equation and its solution, associated Laguerre polynomials, Rodrigues formula for the associated Laguerre polynomials, and solution of the radial equation. It also provides normalisation of the radial wave function and complete wave function; for the hydrogen atom, hydrogenic atomic orbital; electron density of 1 s electron; mathematical background of shape of orbitals; the most probable distance of electron from nucleus of hydrogen atom, and average distance of electron from the nucleus of hydrogen atom. The end of this chapter describes the references and adequate computational problems (solved problems and question on concepts).

The Hydrogen Atom

Vinod Kumar Khanna

During the solution of the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom by separation of variables, we come across three quantum numbers, namely the azimuthal quantum number l , the magnetic quantum number m l , and the principal quantum number n . The quantum number l arises as a separation constant during the breaking apart of radial and angular segments of the Schrodinger equation and the quantum number m l occurs while separating the azimuthal component from the polar component of the angular part. The quantum number n is necessary to render the series for the non-asymptotic part of the radial wave function convergent. The three quantum numbers are interdependent because after selecting n , the selection of l is restricted to allowed values and similarly after choosing l , limited values are permitted for m l . The fourth quantum number m s representing electron spin is not a direct consequence of solving the Schrodinger equation. The detailed solution procedure of the Schrodinger equation including the normalization of the wave function, restrictions on the values of quantum numbers, and allied analysis are explained.
