 Atomic physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atomic physics (or atom physics) is physics of the electron hull of atoms.
The beginning of atomic physics is marked by the discovery and scrutinious study of spectral lines.
The study of these lines led to the Bohr atom model and on to our present understanding of the electron hull of the atom as described by the orbital atom model which is the basis of all understanding of chemistry.

 Science Fair Projects - Wave model
The wave model of the atom uses the basic idea of the Bohr model of the atom, where there is a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons, but the electrons are represented by a probability distribution, instead of by discrete mathematical points.
This model is based on quantum mechanics, specifically using the Schrödinger equation to calculate the probability distribution.
A common example of applying the Schrödinger equation is visualization of the wave model of the hydrogen atom.

 Bohr model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because of its simplicity, the Bohr model is still commonly taught to introduce students to quantum mechanics.
The most simple atom is hydrogen, which consists of one proton and one electron bound together by the electrostatic force.
The Bohr model is actually only accurate for one-electron systems such as the hydrogen atom or singly-ionized helium.

 THE BOHR MODEL OF THE ATOM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In 1911 Neils Bohr postulated that an electron in the hydrogen atom would be stable as long as it was in a circular orbit of specified radius and energy.
The energy and size of the orbital was described in terms of the quantum number n.
Ultimately, the Bohr model proved to be unable to explain all the details of the hydrogen atom and did not work for multi-electron atoms.

 The Bohr Model of the Atom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In 1913 Neils Bohr (1885-1962), a Danish physicist, proposed a theoretical model for the hydrogen atom.
He chose hydrogen because its atoms are the simplest, having only one electron about the nucleus, and because it produces the simplest spectrum with the fewest lines.
When the hydrogen atom absorbed energy, as it does in a gas discharge tube, the electron is raised from the orbit n = 1 to a higher orbit such as n = 2 or n = 3 or even higher.

 Bohr model
The simplest possible atom is hydrogen, which consists of a nucleus and one orbiting electron.
The Bohr model is sometimes known as the semiclassical model because although it does include some ideas of quantum mechanics it is not a full quantum mechanical description of the atom.
In order to fully describe an atom we need to use the full theory of quantum mechanics, which was worked out by a number of people in the years following the Bohr model.

 The Particle: Standing wave atom model
The whole atom is a standing wave in three dimensions, and all known effects have to be described by electromagnetic standing wave geometry.
Unlike the conventional model, where the space between electron shells is described as a void and empty space, in our model it is the space in between the inscribed and circumscribed spheres, which contain the inward and outward going spherical waves forming up the 3D standing wave shape.
The Moon model is thus consistent with much of the same experimental data which underlies the periodic table of the elements, and explains additional features not explained by the modern, electron-configuration presentation of the periodic table.

The orbital length of the nucleus in the binary mode is precisely 137 wavelengths of the proton.
The orbital velocity derived from the relationships is: (.1191767 cm./sec.) So what we have is an electron-proton binary system, in which the path lengths of both "partners" is 137 wavelengths of the involved particles and the orbital velocities are as stated.
One of the parameters of the nuclear orbital velocity is the mass of the proton.

 hybrid orbitals
Both of these facts are difficult to immediately rationalize given the spatial arrangement of the valence orbitals in C (the 2s and the three 2p orbitals), and the fact that the 2s orbital is filled in the ground state of the carbon atom.
The fundamental tenet of the HOM is that the atomic orbitals of differing energies will mix to form a new set of hybrid orbitals with energies determined by a weighted average of the atomic orbitals that combined.
The hybrid orbital model is often used to explain the delocalized structures that arise when it is possible to draw multiple resonance structures for a molecule.

Bohr stated that the electron in the hydrogen atom can be bound in a particular circular orbit, n, revolving about the proton, which is the atom's nucleus.
When Bohr created his model, the majority of the magnitudes of the quantum attributes of a free electron had yet to be discovered.

 Spiritual Secrets in the Carbon Atom
At the beginning of the 19th century, John Dalton theorised that an atom was an indivisible particle of an element.
In 1909, Ernest Rutherford showed that atoms were mostly empty space, revising the model of an atom to a tight positive nucleus containing the protons and neutrons with electrons around it; by 1913, Danish physicist Neils Bohr envisioned a planetary arrangement in which the electrons orbited the nucleus at different energy levels.
In this model, each electron energy level is denoted by numbers that take concentric shells as suggested by the Bohr model because there are overlaps in the ordering of the energy levels.

The Bohr model could explain the spectra of atoms with one electron in the outer shell very well, but was not very good for those with more than one electron in the outer shell.
Orbitals could be described as electron density clouds (see Atomic & Molecular Orbitals for a look at various orbitals).
The resulting model of the atom is called the quantum model of the atom.

 Bohr Model of the Atom
While the Bohr Model of the atom is primarily of historical interest to the working physicist, it displays the essential qualities of the atom as intuitively as possible.
We start with a model of the atom which looks like a solar system: in place of the sun we have the positively charged nucleus, and instead of planets we have negatively charged electrons (see the next chapter).
But Bohr's model leads to a decent agreement with experimental data (see Section C) and, as we shall see at the end of Chapter 9, it provides us with some clues to the nature of the electron itself.

Lay people often associate the term atomic physics with nuclearpower and nuclear bombs, obviously due to the synonymous use of atomic and nuclear in standard English.
The study of these lines led to the Bohr atom model and on to ourpresent understanding of the electron hull of the atom as described by the orbital atom model which is the basis of all understanding of chemistry.
These conclusion are however not at all straight-forward but rather required more than a century ofresearch, which has succeeded on putting chemistry on a sound fundament but also gave rise to many other applications.
