Angular wave function, limitations of slater's rule

Angular wave function: 

Wave function depends upon quantum no. l, m and often referred to atomic orbital.

the shape of these orbital depends upon angle 𝟅 and ⲫ.

     
                                             Mathematical expression for angular wave function for s & p orbital is given 

orbital               Angular wave function 

s                                     (1/4π) ^1/2
                
 pz                           (3/4π) ^1/2 cos 𝟅

px                     (3/4π) ^1/2 sin 𝟅 cos 𝟅

py                      (3/4π) ^1/2 sin 𝟅 sinⲫ. 



the expression for s orbital has no.  angle dependence ,hence s orbital are speherical symmetrical. 


limitation of slater's rule   
                                        1.it is observed that slater's rule becomes less reliable for atoms of heavier elements. 

2.  s & p orbital are grouped together for calculating effective nuclear charge. 

3.while due to higher penetration s- orbital should screen more than the orbital . 

4.all electrons in shell lower than (n-1) shielded the outer electron with equal contribution(1.00)  this not seen to be true.

Radial probability distribution for p and d orbital, radial wave functions

Radial probability distribution for p and d orbital Radial and Angular wave function:  the radial part of wave function depends upon quantum no.  n and  l  and gives the distribution of electron w. r. t distance .it is governed mainly exponential term     e^-Zr/na°(a not)   here  e   based on natural log.  Z   Atomic number r     distance from nucleus  n    principal quantum no. or radial quantum           no.  a°    0.529A° for hydrogen  ( Bohr radii)  the exact mathematical expression for radial part of wave function for 1s or 2s and 2p orbitals. n= 1 ,l=0 s orbital    R(r) =2× (z/a°) ^3/2 ×(2-zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a° n= 2 ,l=0 2s orbital    R(r) = (z/a°) ^3/2 ×(2-zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a° n= 2 ,l=1 2p orbital    R(r) = 1√3×(z/2a°) ^3/2 ×(zr/a°) ×e^-zr/2a ° the radial wave function can be represented by plotting radial function R(r)  apart distance(r)

Physical significance of sie and sie^2

Physical significance of sie and sie^2  The wave function sie has no physical significance,  it simply represents amplitude of wave   while square of amplitude sie^2 represent intensity of electron.  i. e sie ^2 gives probability of finding the electron in space .p the space is called atomic orbital  A zero value of sie^2 means probability of finding the electron is zero and high value of sie^2 means greater chances of finding the electron .  the value of sie^2 lies between 0&1. if sie^2 =1   100℅  sie^2=0    0℅

Linear combination of atomic orbital, Molecular orbital theory, Difference between bonding & anti bonding moleculer orbital.

Linea combination of atomic orbital  molecular orbital are formed by combination of atomic orbital  if ꌏ(A)  andꌏ(B)  are the wave function of atomic orbital of two combining atomic A and B  then according  to Linea combination of atomic orbital, these two wave function can be added or can be substracted .that means there are two modes of interaction (symmetric and antisymmetric)  We know ꌏ(s)  = ꌏ(A) +ꌏ(B)  ꌏ(a) = ꌏ(A)- ꌏ(B) ꌏ(s)  and ꌏ(a)  represent wave function of bonding and antibonding moleculer orbital. the formation of moleculer orbital ꌏ(s)  and ꌏ(a)  from two atomic orbital ꌏ(A) and ꌏ(B)  is represented as Molecular orbital theory (MO)  theory: main points of mo theory are: 1.whwn atomic orbital combine they formed molecular orbital. 2.Number of molecular orbital formed is equal to number of atomic orbital combine. 3.atomic orbital are uninuclear  while molecular orbital  are polynuclear. 4.The various molecular orbital are arranged in order of in increas
