1
00:00:00,870 --> 00:00:04,050
This is now the fifth lecture of the condensed matter course.

2
00:00:05,250 --> 00:00:13,730
In the first four lectures. We studied vibrations in solids and we studied electrons in metals and we learned quite a bit about these topics.

3
00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:18,330
But we also developed a rather long list of puzzles, things that we couldn't understand.

4
00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:23,440
I wrote a list of them at the end of Last Lecture. Some of them included the sign of the hall coefficient.

5
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:26,460
We couldn't figure out why. It sometimes says one sign, sometimes there's another sign.

6
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:31,890
We also had a rather unreasonably long, mean, free path in Sommerfeld theory.

7
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:37,500
We couldn't understand. And if you go back to earlier into by theory, there were also some puzzles there.

8
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:40,709
We didn't understand why it was we introduced an ad hoc cut-off.

9
00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:44,640
We had some motivation for it, but it was certainly an ad hoc prescription.

10
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:52,229
And all of these problems stem from the same place. And the same place is that we're not taking seriously the microscopic structure of materials.

11
00:00:52,230 --> 00:00:59,520
We're not really considering that they're made up of individual atoms, and the atoms are bonded together in very particular and often periodic ways.

12
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:04,290
So much of the remainder of the term is going to be devoted to understanding

13
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:08,190
how the microscopic structure of materials affects its macroscopic properties.

14
00:01:08,430 --> 00:01:09,450
But before doing that,

15
00:01:09,450 --> 00:01:15,390
it's probably worth backing up and understanding why it is that the atoms stick together in the first place to make the materials.

16
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:18,960
So this brings us to the domain of chemistry.

17
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,470
And as much as we hate to admit it to both our friends and our enemies, chemistry actually is interesting.

18
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:34,330
It's a it's an important subject, both scientifically and certainly industrially technologically.

19
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,600
And it's actually has some fundamental deepness to it as well.

20
00:01:37,870 --> 00:01:41,470
And you could certainly spend three or four years studying chemistry or even longer.

21
00:01:41,710 --> 00:01:47,770
And we're going to study it for only a day or two. And that will probably be all we need to know in order to go on further.

22
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,610
Now, if you had chemistry before, some of these things might be a little bit familiar.

23
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:58,240
If you haven't had chemistry before, it's maybe not so much of a problem because most of what I'm going to introduce is fairly basic.

24
00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:03,010
But the main idea is to reconsider some of the chemistry from a physics perspective.

25
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:06,249
Some of the things that may have seemed strange when you even learned chemistry

26
00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:10,240
the first time will maybe seem a little bit more natural this time through,

27
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,320
and this will give us sort of foundation for understanding much of what comes comes later.

28
00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:21,400
So a good place to start is to realise that, you know, chemistry is all based on the Schrödinger equation.

29
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:28,329
The sorting equation solves everything. It tells you why the electrons stick to nuclei and why nuclei stick to each other and so forth.

30
00:02:28,330 --> 00:02:31,930
It's all a shorthand equation. But that's not actually a very useful way to think about things,

31
00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:36,400
because solving the Schrödinger equation for more than one or two particles becomes impossibly hard,

32
00:02:36,580 --> 00:02:41,739
and you can never develop any sort of intuition of what's going on. So what we should do is we should think about very,

33
00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:48,010
very simple cartoon level problems and try to figure out what the general rules are of chemistry from that.

34
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:59,910
A good place to start is with hydrogen, hydrogen or more generally, a hydrogen atom, meaning that it has a nucleus of charge.

35
00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:03,670
Some genuine nucleus. Nucleus of charge.

36
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,890
The. And one electron.

37
00:03:10,530 --> 00:03:15,300
And you'll remember from your atomic physics courses or your quantum mechanics courses

38
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,649
that the eigen states of this one electron are indexed by a number of quantum numbers,

39
00:03:19,650 --> 00:03:22,590
the principal quantum number and equals 1 to 3 and so forth.

40
00:03:22,950 --> 00:03:31,410
The angular momentum quantum number, which is takes the number, the value zero one to up to and minus one.

41
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:43,150
And these anchor momentum quantum numbers are sometimes called S, P, the F, G and so forth coming from spectroscopic notation.

42
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:46,960
Now for one chocolate bar. Does anyone know what speed and F stand for?

43
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:54,530
Something a gentleman officer had sharp his ass.

44
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:57,930
That gives you a quarter. Is this diffuse? Yes.

45
00:03:57,950 --> 00:04:01,509
You're almost there. Two more. Principal.

46
00:04:01,510 --> 00:04:04,989
Someone said principal. Someone who? Who got it? Who has it?

47
00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:11,410
Someone said it over there. Okay, so he gets it. So start principal diffuse and find from spectroscopic notation your chocolate.

48
00:04:11,410 --> 00:04:15,930
Sorry, stolen out from under you. G does anyone.

49
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,660
One more chocolate bar for ten. Which is for. It's not for anything.

50
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:25,720
Actually, it's. It's. It's for giraffe. They just need another letter after that.

51
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:30,160
Okay. Anyway, in addition to the angular momentum quantum numbers,

52
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:40,630
M takes the values minus l2l and then the spin quantum number can be plus or minus one half.

53
00:04:40,930 --> 00:04:48,130
The most important thing to keep track of is that if you have s electrons as eigen states, maybe say, how should I says?

54
00:04:48,460 --> 00:04:53,950
So in sl I guess of of eigen states can hold two.

55
00:04:56,050 --> 00:05:00,880
Has two possible eigen states partial? So why is it two?

56
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:05,440
Because x means l equals zero. That means m has to be equal zero.

57
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:13,630
But the spin can be plus or minus one half. So two possibilities. With a p shell there are six because p means l equals one.

58
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:21,580
M can be minus one zero one, that's three. And then the spin can take two values that make six D gives you ten and so forth.

59
00:05:23,020 --> 00:05:26,050
Now you have all these eigen states in a particular atom,

60
00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:31,659
and then you suppose to yourself that you have many electrons in that atom, not just a single electron.

61
00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:35,140
The atom. Also, I should I should probably give you the energies as well.

62
00:05:35,530 --> 00:05:45,130
The energies of these eigen states are minus the red berg over n squared times z squared if the charge of the nucleus is more than one.

63
00:05:45,460 --> 00:05:49,150
Plus small corrections. Things like fine and hyper fine fine structure.

64
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:52,780
But the main energy just comes from the principal quantum number. Okay,

65
00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:57,670
so now you have a bunch of electrons in your atom and you need to figure out which

66
00:05:57,970 --> 00:06:02,590
of these are eigen states you fill with electrons and which ones you leave empty.

67
00:06:02,590 --> 00:06:07,270
And there's several rules for figuring this out. The first of all is known as the outflow principle.

68
00:06:07,310 --> 00:06:16,030
Outflow principle. Which is basically just filled by shells.

69
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,350
So when you add the first electron to anatomy, starting one shell and you keep filling that shell until it's filled.

70
00:06:23,530 --> 00:06:27,730
When you finish filling that shell, you start filling the next challenges fill that one until it's filled.

71
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,160
Now, in what order do you feel the shells? Well, you fill the shells by Matt along as well.

72
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:40,060
Matt along roll, which has a nice pneumonic like this.

73
00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:55,900
You write out a table one asks to as to p3s3p3d4s4p4d, four f, five s and so forth, five p after that.

74
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,760
And then you fill in this diagonal way. This one is first. This is second.

75
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:04,680
This is third. This is fourth.

76
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:10,240
And so forth. And this would be theft. Down that way.

77
00:07:10,870 --> 00:07:16,840
Okay. So this order of filling shells is what gives you the structure of the periodic table.

78
00:07:17,140 --> 00:07:23,540
So let's take a look at our friend, the periodic table. Oops. I don't see the.

79
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:31,860
Uh oh. How? Sydney.

80
00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:37,340
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

81
00:07:40,110 --> 00:07:46,729
Okay, hold on. Boy.

82
00:07:46,730 --> 00:07:50,420
Now we have a real problem. Stop.

83
00:07:51,370 --> 00:08:05,220
Oh. Okay.

84
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:12,210
Well, okay. So the periodic table, let's go on and see if we can get this start up a little bit later.

85
00:08:14,130 --> 00:08:17,130
So everyone kind of that you have in your head what it looks like, right?

86
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,900
So you start out by filling the, the, the, the top row of the periodic table,

87
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:28,020
which has hydrogen helium in it is one electron fills fills hydrogen, the next one fills helium.

88
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:33,360
Then you start the next row with with lithium and beryllium that fills up the second shell.

89
00:08:33,570 --> 00:08:39,390
Then you have the next six elements boron carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.

90
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:44,670
I'm going to try this again. See if that's going to work.

91
00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:52,920
Brian Nitrogen carbon, neon, fluorine, neon, and then you're filling the two piece shell and so forth and so on,

92
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,150
and you fill them in all and all this order. And that gives you the structure of the periodic table.

93
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:04,860
But you might wonder to yourself, Well, wait a second, why is it that we're filling the four shell before the three D shell?

94
00:09:05,130 --> 00:09:13,080
Because according to that formula up there, the three shell should have lower energy than the fourth shell.

95
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,530
And so what gives us the right to fill up four as before?

96
00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:22,890
Before we fill up three D and for that matter, why are we filling a periodic table?

97
00:09:22,890 --> 00:09:26,870
Oh, thank God. So there's the periodic table, and we fill in this order.

98
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:37,590
There's the the first shell. The second shell tends to step three S, three P and there's four s filling up before the hour before the three D,

99
00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:43,140
you might ask the question, well, why is it we're filling up 2 hours before two P?

100
00:09:43,180 --> 00:09:46,410
Because according to that formula up there, they have more or less the same energy.

101
00:09:46,830 --> 00:09:57,710
So the the answer to this question is basically because V of R is not equal to one over R, it's not proportional to the Coulomb interaction anymore.

102
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,590
Well, why not? Well, it's not just a single electron and a nucleus.

103
00:10:01,890 --> 00:10:07,080
It's an electron interacting with all of the other electrons in the atom as well as the nucleus.

104
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,209
So as the electron gets closer to the nucleus, it sees more nucleus and less of the other electrons.

105
00:10:12,210 --> 00:10:16,020
And it gets as far as it gets farther away, it sees more of the other electrons.

106
00:10:16,020 --> 00:10:18,600
So you can think of as having some sort of effective potential,

107
00:10:18,810 --> 00:10:25,350
which is the interaction between the electron and both the nucleus and the cloud of the other electron.

108
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,889
So you need to modify the shape of this potential somewhat.

109
00:10:28,890 --> 00:10:34,290
And if you try to solve this or the radial quantum mechanics problem that you solved for the hydrogen atom,

110
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,620
but you change the shape of this potential, you'll all of a sudden discover that all these cells have different energies.

111
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:41,670
Now they shift around.

112
00:10:41,820 --> 00:10:51,030
And that's why these the ordering of these filling the orbitals is not what you would expect from just a simple hydrogen atom, actually.

113
00:10:51,390 --> 00:10:54,540
Whereas we're on the subject of the interaction with the other electrons,

114
00:10:54,660 --> 00:11:00,660
you might find it surprising that we can even describe the eigen states of the hydrogen of of a general electron,

115
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:06,090
the same way we can a general atom, the same way we can describe the eigen states of a hydrogen atom,

116
00:11:06,390 --> 00:11:11,010
because it's not it's just interacting with the nucleus. It's interacting with all of the other electrons as well.

117
00:11:11,310 --> 00:11:15,660
But the reason more or less you can do this is because you can treat all of the other electrons besides yourself.

118
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:19,410
It's just some sort of spherical cloud. So it's still sort of a severe problem.

119
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:25,140
So it follows more or less the same rules and you can still enumerate the possible ligand states in the same way.

120
00:11:25,980 --> 00:11:26,400
Okay,

121
00:11:26,730 --> 00:11:36,990
so this is the general structure of the periodic table and we can now move on to asking about chemical bonds between the atoms in the periodic table.

122
00:11:36,990 --> 00:11:43,180
Okay, there's filling up Madeline's rule. So there's a bunch of different types of bonding.

123
00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:49,549
There's a chart that looks like this in the in the in the book, which tells you five different types of bonding,

124
00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:55,100
ionic, covalent, metallic molecular hydrogen and some of their properties and what causes them.

125
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:58,770
It's probably worth familiarising yourself with this chart over the next you know,

126
00:11:58,790 --> 00:12:02,509
today we're going to try to cover Ionic and covalent the other types.

127
00:12:02,510 --> 00:12:10,339
We'll do a little bit later on in the and in the lecture series so that, you know, the basic, basic facts are on this.

128
00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:16,969
You should probably know these, but we will just start today with the simplest type of bonding, which is ionic.

129
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:21,330
Bonding. Ionic. Bonds.

130
00:12:22,290 --> 00:12:26,640
And the principle of an iconic bond is basically that an electron is transferred.

131
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:37,880
From one atom, from one atom by atom to another to another.

132
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:45,470
And then the ions attract, then ions attract.

133
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:56,540
So the kind of the kind of a sort of reaction that we we can have is a sodium atom plus a chlorine atom.

134
00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:02,740
An electron is transferred from the sodium to the chlorine.

135
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,890
So we get sodium plus plus chlorine minus.

136
00:13:06,190 --> 00:13:12,910
And then now we have to charge species and they attract each other and form sodium chloride.

137
00:13:14,010 --> 00:13:20,999
Sounds easy enough. Probably the easiest way to keep track of this kind of reaction or to evaluate this kind of

138
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,100
analyse this type of reaction is to think about the energies associated with each step.

139
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,750
So one piece of the energy is the ionisation energy, the ionisation,

140
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:44,580
which is the energy to pull the electron off the sodium atom, to make a sodium ion and an electron.

141
00:13:44,610 --> 00:13:46,440
So you start with the sodium atom neutral.

142
00:13:46,650 --> 00:13:52,590
You pull the electron apart from it and put it out infinitely and the sodium ion infinitely far away at infinity.

143
00:13:52,830 --> 00:13:57,780
And this will be the difference in energies, what's required to pull the electron off the atom.

144
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:01,320
There's also what's known as the electron affinity,

145
00:14:04,350 --> 00:14:13,470
which is the energy that you get back when you put the electron on the chlorine atom to make a chlorine ion.

146
00:14:14,130 --> 00:14:20,070
And then the last piece is known as the cohesive energy or the bonding energy,

147
00:14:23,610 --> 00:14:35,190
which is the energy you get out when you put together the sodium ion and the chlorine ion to get sodium chloride.

148
00:14:38,220 --> 00:14:47,280
So the total energy budget for this reaction is the ion, the ionisation energy you get back,

149
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,930
the affinity energy, the electron affinity, and you get back the cohesive energy.

150
00:14:53,250 --> 00:15:01,590
And if the total delta e is less than zero, if Delta is less than zero, then you get a reaction and then it reacts.

151
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,759
The reaction goes forwards. Now there's a couple of caveats about about this kind of argument.

152
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:15,389
The first caveat is that if you're a chemist, you are inevitably talking about gives free energies rather than just energies.

153
00:15:15,390 --> 00:15:20,730
And the reason it gives free energies is because you're doing your experiment at a finite temperature,

154
00:15:20,730 --> 00:15:24,270
probably room temperature and finite pressure, your room pressure.

155
00:15:24,570 --> 00:15:28,800
We're going to think just as if we're doing everything at zero temperature, zero pressure.

156
00:15:29,070 --> 00:15:32,190
So we can just think about energies, but it's more or less the same thing.

157
00:15:33,570 --> 00:15:36,150
The second thing one should be warned about if you're reading books,

158
00:15:36,450 --> 00:15:41,910
is that the word cohesive energy or bonding energy is used in several different senses in different books.

159
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:47,520
Everyone agrees that a cohesive energy or bonding energy is the energy to put two things together.

160
00:15:47,730 --> 00:15:50,220
But not everyone agrees what those two things should be.

161
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:58,090
So they'll talk about that cohesive energy for sodium chloride in some books will tell you that the whole delta is a cohesive energy,

162
00:15:58,110 --> 00:16:04,200
and some books will tell you that the cohesive energy is just the energy for putting together the sodium ion and the chlorine ion.

163
00:16:04,350 --> 00:16:08,549
So you get two different results depending on whether you're counting the whole Delta E and calling

164
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:12,720
that the bonding energy or if you're just talking about the energy to put together the two ions.

165
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,920
So that's another warning.

166
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:22,680
The last warning is that the results that you get for bonding energy will be extremely different depending if you're talking

167
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:30,270
about taking one ion of sodium and one ion and chlorine and putting them together to make a sodium chloride molecule.

168
00:16:30,450 --> 00:16:35,910
Or if you're talking about taking lots of them and putting them together to make a whole big chunk of sodium chloride.

169
00:16:36,030 --> 00:16:39,089
And the reason for this is because, you know, you're sodium atom.

170
00:16:39,090 --> 00:16:43,200
It's either bonded to one chlorine or its bonded to a lot of different chlorine.

171
00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:46,680
It will be a totally different energy depending on how many things you're bonded to.

172
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,300
So that's another thing to keep in mind, to be careful about.

173
00:16:51,690 --> 00:17:00,750
Okay. So in this set of energies that we try to keep track of, probably the easiest thing to understand is the bonding energy of that cohesive energy.

174
00:17:02,650 --> 00:17:14,260
Also known as the mad along energy or the Coulomb energy, because this Coulomb energy is basically just right out.

175
00:17:14,860 --> 00:17:21,420
It's basically just the Coulomb energy between the between the relevant ions in your, in your system.

176
00:17:21,430 --> 00:17:29,590
So I'm not equal to j q i QJ over four pi.

177
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:33,000
Epsilon not distance between I and J.

178
00:17:33,340 --> 00:17:38,410
So Q Why is the charge? Am I on this charge of iron?

179
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,330
J So if I have a bunch of if I have two ions.

180
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:51,070
J I just take its usual the usual coulomb if I have two ions, one positive charge, one a negative charge.

181
00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:56,530
I'm just summing up the usual Coulomb energy between those ions to get that cohesive energy.

182
00:17:56,830 --> 00:17:56,979
Now,

183
00:17:56,980 --> 00:18:05,170
this is a perfectly good way to express the the bonding energy or the energy you get by taking these two charge species and bringing them together.

184
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,600
But it obviously and actually it's fairly accurate as well for most ionic solids because

185
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,310
you a very good estimate of the amount of cohesive energy you get by this definition.

186
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:20,890
And so all you need to know is how far apart those ions are and you know, how much bonding energy you got.

187
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,650
Of course, there's a little bit of a problem with this expression, and that is it goes to minus infinity.

188
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,960
If you bring the sodium ion in the chlorine, I am extremely close and that's obviously doesn't make any sense.

189
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:36,580
So what's really happening here? Let's see it like this.

190
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:42,820
This is a r i j for between the two atoms and here's the energy.

191
00:18:43,060 --> 00:18:50,469
So this is the one over r curve that you expect for a Coulomb interaction and the actual physical energy you get.

192
00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:55,360
Looks like one over ah, it looks like one of our and then at some point it shoots off way up to infinity.

193
00:18:55,360 --> 00:19:06,010
So this is actual. So if you know the distance between the two atoms, you have a just by taking this energy here, which is the Coulomb prediction,

194
00:19:06,220 --> 00:19:12,700
it's extremely close to the actual bonding energy there because you because the shoot off is extremely rapid.

195
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,860
So what's causing this shoot off to infinity?

196
00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:21,130
Well, when you start pushing two atoms really close, really close together, you realise they're not just point charges anymore.

197
00:19:21,370 --> 00:19:24,129
They're going to start to overlap, their orbitals are going to start to overlap.

198
00:19:24,130 --> 00:19:28,670
Pauli Exclusion principle is going to get into the game because you're trying to put two, two, you know,

199
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:34,030
too many electrons in one place and the energy just shoots right off very, very, very rapidly.

200
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:39,760
But right here, by the minimum, the Coulomb estimate is still a pretty good estimate of the cohesive energy.

201
00:19:40,780 --> 00:19:45,130
So that's pretty much everything we need to know about the cohesive energy.

202
00:19:45,370 --> 00:19:48,430
Now, what about the ionisation energy and electron affinity energies?

203
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:52,900
Well, the ionisation energy or electron affinity energy has to do with the energy levels in the atoms.

204
00:19:53,110 --> 00:19:58,299
And in order to figure that out, we really need to solve the Schrödinger equation of those atoms in an electron,

205
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:02,420
in some effective potential, which has to do with the nucleus and also all of the other electrons.

206
00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:07,809
And it's kind of a hard problem, but even though we're not going to actually solve the shorter equation,

207
00:20:07,810 --> 00:20:11,380
there are some trends which are pretty easy to keep track of.

208
00:20:11,650 --> 00:20:16,450
So this, you know, if you've done chemistry, you probably know this already. But that this plot,

209
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:23,380
this picture of the periodic table shows you where the large electron affinities and the large ionisation energies of small ionisation energy are.

210
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,180
It's also down here. So the small, ionisation energies are sort of down in this corner.

211
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:33,310
This are the size of the splotches. How big B on his energy, the smallest one being caesium or France.

212
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:39,060
I'm down here. And the large ionisation energies way up here in the noble gases in helium.

213
00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:44,370
Electron affinities go the other way, with the exception of the noble gases, which have essentially no electron affinity.

214
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,740
The highest electron affinities are way over here in this corner, up by fluorine and chlorine and bromine.

215
00:20:50,790 --> 00:20:54,660
Over on the right hand side. So if you want a good ionic solid,

216
00:20:55,260 --> 00:20:59,969
what you need in an ionic reaction is you need to be able to easily pull the electron off

217
00:20:59,970 --> 00:21:04,260
of one species and then you want to get out a lot of energy for putting it on the other.

218
00:21:04,270 --> 00:21:10,680
So you want a small ionisation energy and a large electron. Metheny So good, so good.

219
00:21:12,060 --> 00:21:17,639
Ionic solids are things like, you know, fluorine, sodium fluoride, rubidium chloride,

220
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,600
things from way over here bound together with things from way over there.

221
00:21:21,870 --> 00:21:26,040
Now, chemists have an expression for this.

222
00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:30,630
They're a shell of electrons. An atomic shell wants to be filled.

223
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:38,920
So if you have a shell filled plus one electron like you would have in this first column, sodium has one electron in the three shell.

224
00:21:38,940 --> 00:21:46,590
Potassium has one electron in the four shell. That shell is easily pulled off because the shell is most happy when it's exactly filled.

225
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:53,190
Similarly, fluorine, it's one short of being filled, so it has a high electron affinity, it wants to be filled.

226
00:21:53,460 --> 00:22:01,320
So can we understand a little bit, you know, mostly filled shells on the on the right and they have high electron affinity and high ionisation energy.

227
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:06,270
And on the left it's small ionisation energy and small electron affinities.

228
00:22:06,570 --> 00:22:10,110
So can we understand in some physical way why this is?

229
00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:16,950
Actually, it's not too hard to figure out why that is, at least roughly, we can make a cartoon picture of it.

230
00:22:17,340 --> 00:22:19,590
So let's try to figure it out from looking at sodium.

231
00:22:19,980 --> 00:22:26,970
So sodium it has if you look at this table, a periodic table, it has 11 electrons, it's the 11th element.

232
00:22:27,330 --> 00:22:31,170
So what is it? What does it look like? It has a nucleus of charge plus 11.

233
00:22:31,710 --> 00:22:41,330
Plus 11 in the nucleus. And then. Then we have what we have ten electrons in the one and two s shells.

234
00:22:41,330 --> 00:22:46,100
So we'll draw a picture of one S and two s sorry,

235
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:54,200
and two P and in the 1s2 as two p shells we have a let a ten electrons with a charge of minus minus ten.

236
00:22:54,620 --> 00:23:00,500
Then we have this one electron in the three s shell out here. So this is one electron out here in the three s shell.

237
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:07,160
And to that one electron, if you imagine yourself being that one electron, how much nuclear charge do you actually see?

238
00:23:07,580 --> 00:23:14,660
Well, the total nuclear charge you would see this electron sees Z equals one.

239
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:23,000
Why? Well, because these ten electrons inside of it are more or less screening that positive charge in the nucleus.

240
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,180
So it sees a charge of only plus one.

241
00:23:26,690 --> 00:23:31,910
So if we wanted to use our hydrogen formula to figure out the binding energy,

242
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:41,660
we would say that the binding energy is a red burg times one squared over the seasons is three s divided by three squared and squared downstairs.

243
00:23:42,050 --> 00:23:52,300
Now this binding energy, ionisation energy is a little bit of an underestimate of the actual binding, binding energy of the three electron.

244
00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:59,719
And the reason for this is because sometimes that three s electron gets closer to the nucleus and realises that in fact it's not a charge of plus one.

245
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:05,420
It's actually a charge bigger than plus one. So it's bound a little bit tighter than this estimate would would tell us.

246
00:24:05,450 --> 00:24:11,810
Okay. But basically, at some level approximation, it's like one electron bound to just one charge.

247
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,380
Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay. Now, let's look at fluorine instead.

248
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,390
Fluorine is a little more complicated. Fluorine.

249
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,960
It's the ninth element right over here, almost filled to Shell.

250
00:24:24,620 --> 00:24:28,790
So what is what is fluorine? C Well, okay, so we have the nucleus with a charge,

251
00:24:28,790 --> 00:24:34,550
a plus nine and then we have the one s shell down here, one s shell, which has a charge of minus two.

252
00:24:35,150 --> 00:24:39,860
And then in the two shell, we have seven electrons out here.

253
00:24:40,620 --> 00:24:43,550
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven electrons.

254
00:24:43,580 --> 00:24:49,160
Now, suppose you're and they're more or less at the same radius because they're all in the two cell.

255
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:56,420
So suppose you're this electron. What do you see? You see a charge of Z equals.

256
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,890
Well, maybe you see plus seven. Because these electrons here aren't screening the nuclear.

257
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:07,170
So you only see two plus nine minus two. Now, plus seven is a little bit of an overestimate.

258
00:25:07,650 --> 00:25:13,730
You would you would then get a binding energy of a red berg seven squared over.

259
00:25:13,770 --> 00:25:20,040
Let's see. So this is a two electron out here. So it's over two squared, the principle quantum number squared of this electron.

260
00:25:20,430 --> 00:25:24,240
This is a huge overestimate of the actual binding energy in fluorine,

261
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:32,070
because sometimes these electrons do get inside of this electron and screen the nucleus better than we would estimate here.

262
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,620
But still, you see that there's a very good reason why it is an almost filled shell sees

263
00:25:37,620 --> 00:25:41,550
a big nuclear charge and an almost empty shell sees a small nuclear charge.

264
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:47,669
So this is behind the origin of why it is that we have this this cartoon phrase that an

265
00:25:47,670 --> 00:25:52,620
almost filled shell wants to be filled and an almost empty shell wants to be empty.

266
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:55,650
Does that make some sense? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Okay.

267
00:25:56,010 --> 00:26:00,270
All right. So it's basically an issue of how well screened the nucleus is.

268
00:26:01,170 --> 00:26:04,469
So this gives us a pretty good picture of what's going on within ionic bonds.

269
00:26:04,470 --> 00:26:13,320
There are differences in how much the electrons are, how much the atoms want to have an extra electron or want to give up another electron.

270
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:20,069
And so if you have an atom, if you have an atom like potassium in an atom like fluorine, the potassium is happy to give up its electron.

271
00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:24,330
The fluorine wants to get that extra electron. You get two ions, the ions then attract.

272
00:26:24,690 --> 00:26:27,150
So it's a great picture of ionic bonding.

273
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:34,320
However, you also have bonding between two electrons that want between two atoms that want the electrons just as much as each other.

274
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:41,160
For example, O2, two oxygen atoms will bond with each other and of course they want the electrons just as much as each other.

275
00:26:41,580 --> 00:26:48,780
So this is give brings us to the picture of what they call covalent bonding, covalent bonds.

276
00:26:52,820 --> 00:27:00,410
Which is okay. There is a chemists have this picture of covalent bonds.

277
00:27:00,710 --> 00:27:09,380
Which are they? They like to say that the atoms will share an electron and because they're sharing electrons, that binds the atoms together.

278
00:27:09,410 --> 00:27:17,120
Now, can we understand a little bit better from physics what it is that we mean by this, that sharing electrons binds atoms together?

279
00:27:17,450 --> 00:27:22,250
So there's a nice picture of this, which basically comes from just particle in a box physics.

280
00:27:22,490 --> 00:27:31,240
All right, put it over here. Particle in a box. In box, we're going to analyse hydrogen.

281
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:37,660
Plus hydrogen goes to hydrogen too, just based on what we know about particle in a box.

282
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,120
Now, what am I talking about when I'm talking about a hydrogen atom being a particle box?

283
00:27:43,150 --> 00:27:48,360
Let's draw a little box here. That box is supposed to represent the attraction to the nucleus.

284
00:27:48,370 --> 00:27:53,370
So a hydrogen atom is basically its electron bound to the nucleus.

285
00:27:53,370 --> 00:27:57,309
So, okay, it's not exactly in a square box, but it's still some binding to the nucleus.

286
00:27:57,310 --> 00:28:05,799
So we'll put our electron in our box, give it a boxer size L and the ground state energy of the hydrogen of the

287
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:13,000
electron in that box of size L is h bar squared over 2 a.m. pi over l squared.

288
00:28:13,540 --> 00:28:24,670
Now we have another hydrogen atom here, so we'll give him a box size l and he has the same energy h per square with two m pi over l squared.

289
00:28:25,090 --> 00:28:30,100
Now over here where we have h two, we get a bigger box, maybe a size two, l.

290
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:37,800
For the hydrogen molecule. And what are the. So we have a ground state wave function for the bigger box here.

291
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:45,209
And the ground state wave function is an energy bar squared over two m pi over two L squared,

292
00:28:45,210 --> 00:28:49,260
which is lower because we have to put two electrons in this bouncing wave function now.

293
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:59,190
But we can do that because there are two spins and we discover that this side of the equation is lower than the sum of these two equations.

294
00:28:59,610 --> 00:29:04,739
So what's going on here? What's going on here is that we're allowing the electron wave function to spread

295
00:29:04,740 --> 00:29:09,090
out from being confined here and confined here to being less confined here.

296
00:29:09,270 --> 00:29:15,450
And by letting the wave function spread out, we're lowering its energy. This is just, you know, Heisenberg uncertainty.

297
00:29:15,570 --> 00:29:20,790
You make Delta X bigger, Delta P gets smaller with smaller delta P, you can have a lower kinetic energy.

298
00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:24,000
So by spreading out the wave function, you lower the kinetic energy.

299
00:29:25,290 --> 00:29:31,500
Now we can consider the same thing with helium and we'll see that actually something is very different about helium.

300
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:40,980
So helium you have a box, you have a ground state wave function and you have two electrons and that's here again, a box.

301
00:29:42,370 --> 00:29:48,310
Ground, same wave function, but two electrons in it. And then the question is, does it go to helium two?

302
00:29:49,690 --> 00:29:56,000
Okay, now here we have a bigger box. We get a ground state wave function, we can put two electrons in it.

303
00:29:56,450 --> 00:30:02,999
Then we have to start filling up an excited wave function as well because we fill the lowest the ground state wave functions.

304
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,979
We have to fill this guy as well and now we're not getting so much matter if I'm not

305
00:30:07,980 --> 00:30:12,299
getting anything at all because we had to as well as filling the lowest energy state,

306
00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:17,070
we have to fill a higher energy state as well. The lower energy state is known as the bonding orbital.

307
00:30:17,910 --> 00:30:24,850
Bonding orbital. And the higher energy state is known as the anti bonding orbital.

308
00:30:24,970 --> 00:30:31,870
So generally bonding orbitals are ones whose energy is lower than the original

309
00:30:31,870 --> 00:30:36,550
wave functions and antibodies are higher or equal to the original wave functions.

310
00:30:36,970 --> 00:30:43,330
So this is why helium, very roughly why it is of helium, doesn't bond, but hydrogen does.

311
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:53,020
Now, this is obviously very cartoonish, but we can do a better job by using what's known as molecular orbital theory.

312
00:30:53,230 --> 00:30:56,440
Molecular or atomic orbital theory. Atomic.

313
00:30:57,220 --> 00:31:16,470
Orbital theory. The theory also known as type binding theory, also known as linear LCA o LCA which equals linear combination.

314
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:24,620
Of atomic orbitals, of atomic orbitals.

315
00:31:29,170 --> 00:31:35,290
Now. I think if you took the atomic course last term, you may have even done this calculation.

316
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,780
And we're going to do it again, but we're going to do it simpler than you did it last term.

317
00:31:38,830 --> 00:31:43,300
And the reason I'm simplifying it is so it's easier to see the physics underlying.

318
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,740
Okay. And we're going to use sort of we're going to use some of these techniques later on in the term.

319
00:31:47,950 --> 00:31:58,550
So it's good to make them as simple as possible. So the first thing we do is we imagine having two nuclear positions are one and our two and oops.

320
00:31:58,570 --> 00:32:01,630
Okay. So I should tell you which problem we're analysing.

321
00:32:01,810 --> 00:32:10,150
Right. We're going to do the so the problem we're going to look at look at look at H two plus.

322
00:32:10,570 --> 00:32:15,459
So this is two protons and one electron, two protons and one electron.

323
00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:19,660
I think you've looked at this problem before last term. Okay.

324
00:32:20,350 --> 00:32:25,330
So we're going to see that allowing this electron to d localise between the two,

325
00:32:26,140 --> 00:32:31,870
the two nuclei is going to lower its energy and therefore form a bond between the two nuclei.

326
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,810
Now, the first thing we're going to do is we're going to use Born Oppenheimer. Approximation born Oppenheimer.

327
00:32:41,710 --> 00:32:52,840
J. Robert Oppenheimer was the father of the American Bond and Bomb Project upon Project Nation and Max Born.

328
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:58,800
We've discussed him already, Father, one of the fathers of quantum mechanics, and Olivia Newton-John's grandfather for one chocolate bar.

329
00:32:58,810 --> 00:33:04,360
Does anyone know what a living in John's biggest hit song was? I'll give you a hint.

330
00:33:04,370 --> 00:33:07,569
It has something to do with the subject we're studying. Yeah?

331
00:33:07,570 --> 00:33:11,149
Yeah. Who said that? The same person. Okay, you get this one. I agree. Get physical.

332
00:33:11,150 --> 00:33:18,709
Yeah. Ten weeks at number one. Okay. Anyway, so the Oppenheim approximation is basically fix.

333
00:33:18,710 --> 00:33:23,780
Ah, one an hour to fix the position of the nuclei and let the electron move.

334
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:29,110
And that's okay because the nuclei are extremely heavy and they would move very slowly.

335
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,659
So the electron can come to its eigen state very quickly and you know,

336
00:33:32,660 --> 00:33:38,510
and then you can sort of resolve it wherever you put the nuclei and look for wherever the nuclei have their lowest possible energy.

337
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:48,170
So then we write a Hamiltonian, Hamiltonian for our electron P squared over two M plus the interaction,

338
00:33:48,410 --> 00:33:52,910
the Coulomb interaction with the first nucleus, plus the Coulomb interaction with the second nucleus.

339
00:33:54,110 --> 00:34:05,210
Where V here v is the usual minus is squared over for pi epsilon, not r minus r one, so forth.

340
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:10,160
I'm going to abbreviate this thing as this term is K for kinetic energy.

341
00:34:10,490 --> 00:34:13,490
This term is V one for interaction with the first nucleus.

342
00:34:13,790 --> 00:34:17,930
This is V two for interaction with the second nucleus.

343
00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:24,800
Now, this is a hard problem because there's both because of both nuclei, but it would be a lot simpler if we just threw away one of the nuclei.

344
00:34:24,830 --> 00:34:26,330
Pretend it's not there. Okay.

345
00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:38,900
So let's solve that, that problem first so we can then have K plus V one as our Hamiltonian and we'll call the Eigen State one epsilon, not one.

346
00:34:39,380 --> 00:34:46,980
So what's what's the answer to that problem was just a hydrogen atom, you know, of on on or on nucleus one.

347
00:34:47,030 --> 00:34:56,120
So one is the ground state of the electron on Nucleus one, the electron in the shell, if you like, you can do the same thing for two.

348
00:34:56,390 --> 00:35:03,850
So this is if we only have Nucleus two, we would get an eigen state on Nucleus two.

349
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:08,690
So I can draw these if I want. So here is our one, here's our two.

350
00:35:08,930 --> 00:35:14,090
Then there would be a wave function here of the electron sitting there as if this guy were there,

351
00:35:14,420 --> 00:35:20,180
and then there would be an out wave function there too, sitting there as if this guy weren't there.

352
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:20,840
It's that clear.

353
00:35:21,110 --> 00:35:29,840
So the two states, the two atomic orbitals I'm thinking about is the electron on orbit on Nucleus one, as if Nucleus two are not there at all.

354
00:35:29,990 --> 00:35:34,520
And the electron on Nucleus two as if a nucleus one, we're not there at all.

355
00:35:34,730 --> 00:35:45,110
Good, good. Yeah. Okay. So you can also think about one and two is being the eigen states if the two orbitals of the two nuclei taken very,

356
00:35:45,110 --> 00:35:50,269
very far apart, in which case you have two possibilities.

357
00:35:50,270 --> 00:35:55,940
The the electron sits on orbital one, on nucleus one, or the electron sits on nucleus two.

358
00:35:55,940 --> 00:36:02,120
And what we expect is going to happen is that when we bring them together, there's going to be a lower energy state,

359
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:09,740
the bonding state, where the electron localises between the two, between the two nuclei.

360
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:19,280
And there may also be an anti bonding state, anti bonding, which is higher energy when we bring them together.

361
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:26,630
This kind of diagram is used a lot by chemists, is known as a molecular orbital diagram, molecular orbital diagram,

362
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:35,540
which tries to keep track of what happens to the eigen states when you start moving things together or apart.

363
00:36:37,150 --> 00:36:39,790
All right. So how are we going to solve this problem?

364
00:36:39,820 --> 00:36:45,190
Well, we're going to do it with a trial wave function, a variational trial, wave function, wave function.

365
00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:50,200
And I believe you've studied variational methods before.

366
00:36:50,890 --> 00:36:58,120
So the wave function we're going to use is of the form phi one times one plus PHI two times two.

367
00:36:58,420 --> 00:37:03,870
And we're going to try to find the best coefficients, Phi one and PHI two, which will lower the energy as much as possible.

368
00:37:04,190 --> 00:37:12,100
This is a variational principle. You try to get the best approximation to the ground state as you can by varying the coefficients arbitrarily.

369
00:37:12,340 --> 00:37:15,940
Okay. Now, this actually gives the method its name.

370
00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:20,130
The name of the method, linear combination of atomic orbitals. That's exactly what we're doing.

371
00:37:20,140 --> 00:37:23,200
These are the atomic orbitals, and we're making a linear combination of them.

372
00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:29,500
Okay. It's also known as tight binding because the electrons sitting on orbital one, we think of it as our nucleus one.

373
00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:33,820
We think it is tightly bound to nucleus one and this one is tightly bound to Nucleus two.

374
00:37:33,970 --> 00:37:36,370
And then we make some linear combination of those two.

375
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:45,429
One of the reasons people really like this method of analysing problems is because you can you can actually make the approximation

376
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:50,680
more and more accurate by adding more and more things to the right hand side with more and more variational parameters.

377
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,319
So instead of just keeping track of two possibilities,

378
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,910
the electron is on over the one the ground state of nucleus one and ground state of Nucleus two.

379
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,299
You can start also adding coefficients and other possible states.

380
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:07,270
The electron can be in excited states on an orbital one, a nucleus one excited states on nucleus two.

381
00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:09,040
And you make a bigger and bigger basis set.

382
00:38:09,220 --> 00:38:17,230
And as you make the the more possibilities on the right hand side, more and more you get closer and closer to the exact wave function on on the left.

383
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:27,229
Okay. So now we have to actually write down our effective Schrödinger equation for this trial wave function,

384
00:38:27,230 --> 00:38:30,240
and that's something you're actually going to do for homework.

385
00:38:30,260 --> 00:38:35,540
I'll write out. The answer is, it looks very much like a shorthand equation.

386
00:38:35,540 --> 00:38:39,740
It's something you probably believe without too much justification.

387
00:38:41,180 --> 00:38:47,990
It looks entirely like a shorthand equation. The only difference is that this h h i j is a two by two matrix.

388
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,490
I. H j.

389
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:56,780
I forgot to tell you something that we're assuming we put it over here. So this is a bad assumption.

390
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:02,480
Bad assumption? Things out of order here.

391
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:06,680
The bad assumption is that i j is delta.

392
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,610
I j in other words, one two equals zero.

393
00:39:11,330 --> 00:39:14,450
That one and two are orthogonal wave functions.

394
00:39:14,690 --> 00:39:18,440
Now that's a good approximation if the way if the nuclei are far apart.

395
00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:22,520
But if you put the nuclei really close together, it's no longer a good assumption.

396
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,320
The reason we're making this bad assumption is because it makes our life a lot easier.

397
00:39:27,620 --> 00:39:32,899
And as in many cases, making this bad assumption isn't going to throw out the crucial physics.

398
00:39:32,900 --> 00:39:38,700
So we're going to keep this bad assumption for now. There's an exercise in the book if you want to go through it and do it more properly,

399
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:41,900
but you'll get the crucial physics right by making this bad assumption.

400
00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:47,450
So we're going to go ahead and do it. I believe when you did it last term, you did not use this bad assumption.

401
00:39:47,450 --> 00:39:53,270
The algebra gets much worse. So it's going to try to keep the algebra as simple as possible by making that bad assumption.

402
00:39:53,600 --> 00:40:01,670
Given that bad assumption, this is the Schrödinger equation that you have to solve and it looks pretty much like a Schrödinger equation.

403
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,510
You know, there's a Hamiltonian wave function, energy wave function.

404
00:40:05,690 --> 00:40:12,260
The only difference is it's not the full Hamiltonian, it's just the way the Hamiltonian projected to our restricted space,

405
00:40:12,410 --> 00:40:18,500
which includes only the wave function one and the wave function two. So it's a projected Schrödinger equation, if you like.

406
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:23,510
So to solve this, all we need to do is we need to come up with this a two by two matrix two by two.

407
00:40:23,780 --> 00:40:28,220
In our case, we need to write out the matrix elements here. So let's do that one.

408
00:40:28,610 --> 00:40:32,210
H one is one.

409
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,140
K plus v one. Do I still have the Hamiltonian?

410
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:43,550
Hamiltonian still up there? I hope it doesn't go off the board. One plus 1v21.

411
00:40:44,510 --> 00:40:49,960
This term is easy because one the cette one is an eigen state of k plus v one.

412
00:40:49,970 --> 00:40:53,300
That's how we defined it. And its eigenvalue is epsilon not.

413
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:57,280
So in fact one on one is one we can find it to be.

414
00:40:57,290 --> 00:41:02,240
So this piece here just gives us epsilon, not this part here.

415
00:41:02,540 --> 00:41:08,480
We don't know what that is. I'm going to call it V Cross and physically, what is it?

416
00:41:08,990 --> 00:41:13,640
V Cross? We have an electron sitting on orbital one over here.

417
00:41:14,180 --> 00:41:23,750
And so here's the electron sitting and here's Orbital two and V cross is the interaction between the electron sitting on state one,

418
00:41:24,350 --> 00:41:28,010
sitting on Nucleus one interacting with Nucleus two. That's when V crosses.

419
00:41:28,430 --> 00:41:33,319
I believe last term you may have called it direct interaction.

420
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,040
I may have called it J. Does that sound familiar from last year?

421
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:43,550
Yeah. Okay. The reason I'm not calling it direct and J is because in condensed matter, those words are used for something somewhat different.

422
00:41:43,820 --> 00:41:48,110
And I'm trying to avoid confusion about that. So I'm going to call it V Cross instead.

423
00:41:48,110 --> 00:41:52,400
I mean, there's some relation between the two nomenclature, but not enough is worth keeping it.

424
00:41:52,730 --> 00:41:57,950
So throw that out. We're going to call it V Cross. Now on to H2.

425
00:41:57,980 --> 00:42:07,219
We need that also very similar to K plus V two, two plus two, v one, two.

426
00:42:07,220 --> 00:42:10,790
And again this thing is epsilon nought plus v cross.

427
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:28,700
The more interesting piece is 1h2 which is one K plus v22 plus 1v12.

428
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:38,120
Okay. So this thing is easy actually because k plus v two is epsilon not two and then two and one have been assumed orthogonal.

429
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,920
So that gives zero. Okay. So that's simplifies our life a lot.

430
00:42:43,550 --> 00:42:51,410
This one here, I'm going to call hopping. Hopping, and generally it's called minus T.

431
00:42:51,770 --> 00:43:00,910
I believe last year you call the exchange. And I'd probably called it tapas or something.

432
00:43:02,020 --> 00:43:07,870
So again, I'm not going to use that nomenclature because we use an exchange for something else.

433
00:43:08,980 --> 00:43:15,190
Now, why is it called hopping? If you think in terms of the time dependent Schrödinger equation.

434
00:43:15,490 --> 00:43:20,260
It's this kind of term that's sort of off diagonal, takes you from 2 to 1.

435
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,620
So a hopping term can give dynamics to an electron can.

436
00:43:23,620 --> 00:43:31,480
Let's take an electron that starts on on nucleus two and lands it on Nucleus one, so allows it to hop from one nucleus to the other.

437
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:36,490
Hence, name hopping, reasonable name. Okay, so given this, we're almost there.

438
00:43:37,540 --> 00:43:46,830
We have our two by two Hamiltonian matrix epsilon nought plus V cross minus T minus T.

439
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,230
If it's if it's complex, it would get a t star here, then epsilon last.

440
00:43:51,250 --> 00:43:54,190
But the cross is a nice little formation matrix.

441
00:43:54,460 --> 00:44:05,890
We can diagonals it we get the eigenvalues I guess equal epsilon not plus v cross plus or minus absolute value of T.

442
00:44:07,110 --> 00:44:10,650
Now. I left off one little piece, which I'm now going to put back in.

443
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:21,790
The thing I left off was the e nuclear nuclear that the energy, the two nuclei are interacting with each other as well.

444
00:44:21,810 --> 00:44:25,980
So if I change the distance between the two nuclei, they would have some Coulomb interaction.

445
00:44:26,310 --> 00:44:30,630
But it turns out that in nuclear, a nuclear is very approximately equal to minus V cross.

446
00:44:31,290 --> 00:44:35,280
And that actually should be obvious from what you know about electrostatic.

447
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:43,020
If you have a spherical charge, a cloud of charge around another spherical cloud in charge of cloud of charge,

448
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:48,660
you can considering the whole charge as being at the origin. And the whole charge is that the origin is zero.

449
00:44:49,050 --> 00:44:52,410
The E cancels the plus one, the minus one cancels plus one.

450
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,740
So this ends up these two pieces cancel each other.

451
00:44:55,950 --> 00:45:01,980
So I'm just going to write E plus or minus. The two possible energies are in OT plus or minus absolute T.

452
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:11,340
So this is something that seems fairly natural that the amount of gaining or lowering of the energy we get when we go,

453
00:45:11,370 --> 00:45:17,520
when we allow the electron to hop between the two orbitals is given by how much we allow them to hop.

454
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,030
So by spreading out the electron wave function, you lower its energy.

455
00:45:21,210 --> 00:45:29,130
The more you spin out the wave function, the more you lower the energy. So we can even I mean, we do it here.

456
00:45:30,570 --> 00:45:33,090
Yeah. We can even write down the two eigen states of this.

457
00:45:33,090 --> 00:45:45,540
If you diagonals that that matrix and find its eigenvectors, you would find that the sy plus one over root two one plus one minus two.

458
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:53,100
This is the anti bonding, the higher energy anti bond, the higher energy wave function,

459
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:59,010
and then the lower energy wave function, one over two, one plus two.

460
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:06,209
And in fact, those forms of the wave function should look a lot like what we had and the particle in the box.

461
00:46:06,210 --> 00:46:15,240
So the particle in the box, we had a bonding orbital bond here and we have an anti bonding orbital here and here with a node in the middle.

462
00:46:16,470 --> 00:46:21,360
And now we have two nuclei. The bonding orbital looks like this.

463
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:27,720
It's symmetric bond. Bond, and the anti bond looks like this.

464
00:46:30,820 --> 00:46:34,320
Plus plus anti bond.

465
00:46:36,430 --> 00:46:42,340
So it's very similar to what we have in the particle box. In both cases, the existence of the node raises the energy.

466
00:46:42,910 --> 00:46:49,480
Okay, so since the amount of energy you gain or lose depends on the amount of hopping.

467
00:46:50,630 --> 00:47:00,350
As a function of r one minus R2 the distance between the nuclei, you might expect that the hopping goes up as you put the two nuclei closer together.

468
00:47:00,710 --> 00:47:08,240
So you would expect that the anti bonding looks like this, the bonding looks like this, and that's more or less right.

469
00:47:08,930 --> 00:47:13,220
But actually more accurate is something that looks like this.

470
00:47:13,610 --> 00:47:18,830
er1 minus r two anti bonding goes like this.

471
00:47:21,170 --> 00:47:31,010
And bonding goes like this. Again, when the two nuclei get too close together, that all of a sudden becomes extremely repulsive.

472
00:47:31,250 --> 00:47:35,480
And the reason it becomes repulsive is because a lot of our approximations break down.

473
00:47:35,750 --> 00:47:39,010
This approximation breaks down into the two nuclear.

474
00:47:39,030 --> 00:47:44,280
The two atomic orbitals we're using are no longer orthogonal and further that statement I made up there

475
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:51,140
about the two charge clouds cancelling breaks down once the positive charge gets inside the other electrons.

476
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:56,959
You know, once the other nucleus gets inside the charged cloud of the electron, then you can no longer count.

477
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,720
And you remember this rule that if you're inside some charge, you don't count it.

478
00:47:59,720 --> 00:48:03,350
And if you're outside the charge, if you count it when you're talking about a spherical charge, distribution,

479
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:09,980
anything that's inside you closer to the centre, you count and you put all the at the centre and anything is outside you that you throw away.

480
00:48:10,250 --> 00:48:14,030
So if the nucleus gets inside the charged cloud of the electron,

481
00:48:14,330 --> 00:48:18,560
then it starts to see the other nucleus and it starts to be repelled by the other nucleus.

482
00:48:18,830 --> 00:48:31,470
So the energy of the bond goes goes way up. One more thing here before we before we end, you can also consider a very similar physics.

483
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,940
If you have two different atoms, so you have hydrogen and fluorine.

484
00:48:35,940 --> 00:48:39,600
And here I've drawn one up here and one down here because they're energies.

485
00:48:39,720 --> 00:48:44,540
If you just have an electron hydrogen, it's much higher energy than the electron on fluorine.

486
00:48:44,550 --> 00:48:47,910
Or maybe I should add sodium and fluorine, sodium and fluorine.

487
00:48:47,910 --> 00:48:54,569
It doesn't matter. Just, you know, on something that has a low ionisation energy or wants the electron a lot less and something

488
00:48:54,570 --> 00:48:58,860
with a high electron affinity or a high ionisation energy wants the electron a lot more.

489
00:48:58,980 --> 00:49:03,050
And you can allow an electron to do localised between the sodium and the fluorine.

490
00:49:03,270 --> 00:49:14,010
If you do that, the only thing that changes here is that these two energies on the diagonal become e sodium and e fluorine like that.

491
00:49:15,450 --> 00:49:22,740
And those two can be different from each other. If you diagnose this matrix now, you'll find two different energies again.

492
00:49:23,010 --> 00:49:26,460
So we'll draw that as a bonding and an anti bonding orbital.

493
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:34,140
So as antibodies are bonding down here, again, allowing the electron to go back and forth changes the total energy.

494
00:49:34,140 --> 00:49:42,890
And here's anti bonding up here. But these coefficients will not be the same that for the antibody orbital.

495
00:49:43,130 --> 00:49:47,750
This this coefficient being a minus alpha will be bigger.

496
00:49:48,170 --> 00:49:54,830
Better. It will be bigger than alpha. There'll be a higher probability that the electron will be over here for the antibody orbital,

497
00:49:55,040 --> 00:50:05,840
whereas for the bonding orbital beta alpha like this, the the most of the weight of the wave function will be over here on fluorine.

498
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,410
It's sort of a simple two by two matrix diagonal ization problem. There's an exercise in the book on this as well.

499
00:50:12,460 --> 00:50:16,690
So the idea is that but just by looking at this two by two matrix,

500
00:50:16,870 --> 00:50:21,700
you can see how you go from a covalent bond where the electron is distributed equally between the two,

501
00:50:22,060 --> 00:50:32,020
the two nuclei to an ionic bond where really the lower energy orbital puts the electron almost entirely over here on on the lower energy species.

502
00:50:32,380 --> 00:50:35,020
Okay, I guess I stop there. I'll see you tomorrow.
