Postulates of quantum mechanics – Postulate: 1 The state of a submicroscopic system is described by a function that
depends on the coordinates of the particles (s) and on the time. The function which is called state function or wave function contains all
the information that can be obtained about the system. The has the important property that (r, t) *(r, t) is the probability
that the particle lies in the volume element d located at r at time t, where d = dx, dx.dy or dx.dy.dz. The wave function must be singled value, continuous and finite.
Postulate: 2 To every physically ‘observable’ measurable property (i.e. position, momentum, energy, etc.), there corresponds a linear Hermitian operator. The operators corresponding to the above quantities are as follow:- Observable Operator Symbol Operator
Position (x) x x
Position (r) r r
Momentum (P) p

Postulate: 3
The possible values of any physical quantity of a system (i.e. energy, angular momentum, etc) that can result from measurements of the physically observable property are given by the eigen values ‘a’ in the operator equation.
A = a
Where A is the operator corresponding to that physical quantity and ( ) a well behave function is the eigen function. According to this
postulates, the value of dynamical variables can be quantized. If the system is in an eigen state of A with eigen value ‘a’ then any measurement of the quantity A will yield ‘a’.
Although measurements must always yield an eigen value, the state does not have to be an eigen state of A initially. An arbitrary state can be explained in the complete set of eigen vectors of A ( A i = ai i)

If a system in a state described by a normalized wave function , then
the average value of the observable corresponding to A is given by,

Postulate: 5 The time dependent Schrödinger equation exist for every system which is given by
t
hiH tr
),(ˆ
Where H is the Hamiltonian (i.e. energy) operator of the system. If the Hamiltonian is independent of time, we have the possibility of states of definite energy E. For such states the state function must satisfy. EH ˆ
Postulate: 6 The total wave function must be antisymmetric with respect to the interchange of all coordinates of one fermion with those of another. Electronic spin must be included in this set of coordinates. The pauli exclusion principle is a direct result of this antisymmetric principal. Fermions – A subatomic particles, such as a nucleon, which has half integral spin and follows the statistical description given by Fermi and Dirac. Eigen function (A well beheave function) and Eigen value For a stationary or standing wave in a stretched string, the amplitude function f(x) can have significance only for certain definite value of . These functions must satisfy the following condition.
a) f (x) must be equal to zero at each end of the string as amplitude of vibration is zero at the points where string is fixed.
9
CHEMISTRY CHE521, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AND QUANTUM MECHANICS
PG SEMESTER II, PAPER :- V
b) f (x) must be single valued and also finite i.e. at every point on the vibrating string, the amplitude has a definite value at any given instant.
There will be many expression for f (x) or satisfying the Schrödinger
equation all of which, how ever are not acceptable. Only those value of wave function are acceptable and are of significance which
correspond to some definite values of the total energy E. Such values of total energy E is called Eigen values which can also be called proper or characteristic values. The corresponding values of wave function f(x) or are called Eigen functions or also the wave
functions. In this case of stretched string, the eigen functions of Schrödinger equation will be those which must satisfy the following conditions. i) must be singled valued. That means for each value of the variable x,
y and z there is only one definite value of the function .
ii) must be finite.
iii) must be continuous. That means there must not exist any sudden
changes in as its variable is changed.
iv) must become zero at infinity.
Eigen value comes from the German, “Eigen wert” which means “proper of characteristics value”. Similarly, eigen function comes from “Eigen Function” the meaning of which is “proper or characteristic function” Corresponding to each eigen value there is an eigen function. The solution of the Schrödinger equation for a given energy Ei involves also finding the specific function i which describe the energy state. The
solution of time independent Schrödinger equation takes the form, iii EH ˆ
The eigen value concept is not limited to energy. When applied to a general operator Q, it can take the form,
10
CHEMISTRY CHE521, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AND QUANTUM MECHANICS
PG SEMESTER II, PAPER :- V
iii qQ ˆ
Where, Q = Operator
i = Eigen function
iq = Eigen value
if the function i is an eigen function for that operator. The eigen value
iq may be describe and in such cases we can say that the physical
variable is ‘quantized’ and that the index is play the role of a “quantum number” which characterizes the state. Operators; Angular momentum operators; Linear operator; Hermitian operator; Theorem of operators Operators:- The mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics is built upon the concept of an operators. It is a mathematical instruction or procedure to be carried out on a function so as to get another function. It is written in the form, (Operator).(Function) = (Another function) The function on which the operation is carried out is called “operand”. The operator when written alone is meaning less or has no significance. The dot (.) used in the left hand side does not mean that the function is multiplied with the operator. e.g. Operator . Operand/function = New function
i) xxdx

the result of the operation when the
operator applies on operand x3. Similarly, taking the square root, cube root or multiplication by a constant K etc. are different operators which can be carried on any function. In case the symbol used for the operator is not self explanatory, a suitable letter or some symbol for the operation may be used with putting the symbol caret over it.
Algebra of operators:- The operators follow certain rules similar to those of algebra which includes addition, substraction, multiplication, square and commutation. Addition or substraction (Sum and difference ) of two operators If A & B are two different operators and f(x) is operand then, ( A + B )fx = A (fx) + B (fx) Similarly, ( A - B ) fx = A (fx) - B (fx)
e.g. if D = dx
d
then, 53)5(ˆ5.3ˆ 333 xxDxD
Or, 53)5( 33 xxdx
d = 3x2 + (3x3 – 15 )= 3x3 + 3x2 -15
Multiplication (Product) of two operators Multiplication of two operators means operations by the two operators one after the other. But the operation will be carried out from right to left. e.g. If A & B are two different operators and f(x) is the operand, then the expression ( A B f(x)) implies that at first f(x) will be operated by the
12
CHEMISTRY CHE521, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AND QUANTUM MECHANICS
PG SEMESTER II, PAPER :- V
operator B to get the result say f ′(x) and then f ′(x)will be operated by the operator A to get the final result say f ′′(x) as, A B f(x)implies that, B f(x) = f ′(x) Then, A f ′(x)= f ′′(x) So we can say that A B f(x)= f ′′(x). If the same operation is to be done a number of times in continuations, it to be shown by a power of operator. It can also be called square of an operator, i.e. the product of the operator with itself. e.g. A f(x)= A 2f(x) It may be noted that, usually A B f(x) B A f(x)
Let us suppose A = x & B = dx
d & f(x)= x2
Then, A B f(x)= x. dx
d (x2) = x.2x=2x2
But, B A f(x)=dx
d .x.(x2) = dx
d x3=3x2
Hence A B f(x) B A f(x) Because in both the case L.H.S & R.H.S the result as the order of using operation is from right to left. Commutation or Commutator:- There is a major difference between the algebra (mathematical) and operator algebra. In ordinary algebra the number obey the commutative law of multiplication, but the operators do not necessarily do so. e.g. ab = ba if a & b are numbers , but BA ˆˆ AB ˆˆ as explained in case of multiplication of operators. If two operators BA ˆ&ˆ are said to be commute then they must have to satisfy the following relation with reference to a function.
BA ˆˆ f(x) = AB ˆˆ f(x)
13
CHEMISTRY CHE521, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY AND QUANTUM MECHANICS
PG SEMESTER II, PAPER :- V
We can define the commutator [ BA ˆ,ˆ ] of the operators A and B as the
operator BA ˆˆ - AB ˆˆ . If BA ˆˆ = AB ˆˆ then [ BA ˆ,ˆ ] = 0 which is the condition for commutation and in
such case [ BA ˆ,ˆ ] denotes the commutator of BA ˆ&ˆ or can say that BA ˆ&ˆ
commute and if BA ˆˆ AB ˆˆ then BA ˆ&ˆ do not commute.
e.g. The operator 3 and dx
d make no difference, the order in
which we apply.

And AB ˆˆ f(x) = xxdx

So, BA ˆˆ f(x) = AB ˆˆ f(x). Hence BA ˆ&ˆ commute. The significance of commuting operators lies in the fact that the observables corresponding to their eigen values can be determined precisely simultaneously. Linear operators:- An operator A is said to be a linear operator if for the two function f and g when it satisfy the following relation. )()(ˆ xgxfA = )(ˆ)(ˆ xgAxfA
Or, )()(ˆ21 xgCxfCA = )(ˆ)(ˆ
21 gfACxfAC
Where C1 & C2 are real or complex constants, and f(x) and g(x) are function of x.

In other words an operator A is said to be linear if the application on the sum of two functions gives the result which is equal to the sum of the operations on the two functions separately. The multiplicative, differential and integral operators are linear, while operators corresponding to taking square, square root, logarithm etc are non-linear because we may not get the same result with the operator on the sum of two functions and the sum of operations on two functions separately. e.g. Differential:

These operators must meet an additional requirement. A quantum mechanical operator satisfying the following condition is known as Hermitian condition. Let if an operator A has two eigen functions and , and if
dAdA ˆˆ ; When and are real.
Or, dAdA*
* ˆˆ ; When and are complex, * is the
complex conjugate of .It is the volume element of space in which the
function is defined , then the operator A is called Hermitian operator. Let A be the linear operator representing the physical property A. the average value of A is
(A) = dA ˆ*

PG SEMESTER II, PAPER :- V
Where is the state function of the system, since the average
value of a physical quantity must be a real number, we demand that, (A) = (A)*
Or,
∫ Ψ ∗ A Ψ d τ = ∫ Ψ( A Ψ )*d τ This equation holds for any function that can represent a possible
state of the system. That means it must hold for all well-behaved function . Thus a linear operator that satisfies for all well-behaved
function is called ‘Hermitian operator”. e.g. let =eix and = sin x are the two acceptable eigen functions, then,

d is a Hermitian operator.
Anti Hermitian:- An operator A is said to be Anti Hermitian, if A *= - A . When a Hermitian is multiplied by ik, where K is a real constant it becomes anti- Hermitian and vice-versa. Properties or Theorem of Hermitian Operator:- There are some important theorem about the eigen function and eigin value of Hermitian operators. 1. The eigen value of Hermitian operators are real. Let us consider the eigen value equation aA ˆ ………(i); Where A is Hermitian operator its eigen
function and ‘a’ is the eigen value. Then we have to prove that ‘a’ is real
The complex conjugate of above equation (i) is ***

Now let us multiply the equation (i) by * and equation (ii) by , and
then on integrating we get, dadadA *** ˆ
Or, dadadA *****
ˆ
Since, A is Hermitian
dAdA*
* ˆˆ
Therefore, da* = da **
Or, a = a* hence ‘a’ is real. 2. The eigen function corresponding to the non-degenerate (different) eigen values of a Hermitian operator are orthogonal. Let 1 & 2 are the two eigen function of a Hermitian operators A
corresponding to two eigen values a1 & a2 respectively. The condition of orthogonality is, 0,,0,0 2

The eigen value equations are, A 1 = a1 1 and A

Let us multiply the first equation A1 = a1 1 by *

We know that A is Hermitian, then,

Hence 0*

If, however a1 = a2 i.e. Ψ1 & Ψ2 are degenerate, then the integral d*
21
must not be zero and in such a case 1 & 2 may not be orthogonal.
3. If a Hermitian operator A commutes with an arbitrary operator B and 1 & 2 are the two eigen functions of A with non degenerated
eigen function then, 0|ˆ| 21 B
Let us suppose, 2211ˆˆ bAandaA
Since, 0ˆˆˆˆ]ˆ,ˆ[ ABBABA
We have, 212121 |ˆˆ||ˆˆ|||ˆ,ˆ|| ABBABA

Since )( ba 0, as in the case of non-degenerated eigen functions,
Ψ 1 & Ψ2 a b Thus, 0|ˆ| 21 B
4. If two Hermitian operators BA ˆ&ˆ possess a common eigen function, then they commute. According to theorem we have, ;ˆˆ bBandaA both BA ˆ&ˆ
possessing common eigen function .
Therefore, aBbAABBABA ˆˆˆˆˆˆ]ˆ,ˆ[

Thus the Hermitian operators BA ˆ&ˆ commute. 5. If two Hermitian operators BA ˆ&ˆ commute then they must have common eigen function. This is reverse of theorem – 4 described above. According to theorem, we have 0]ˆ,ˆ[ BA , now let us assume that aA ˆ

We have, 0)ˆ()ˆ(ˆˆˆˆˆ]ˆ,ˆ[ BaBAABBABA

or, )ˆ()ˆ(ˆ BaBA
This implies that B is an eigen function of A with the eigen value ‘a’. It
can happen under following conditions only. i) B is a multiple of i.e. bB ˆ , thus is an eigen function of B with
the eigen value b. ii) B and are degenerate eigen function of A .
Although we have taken BA ˆ&ˆ to be Hermitian operators but the theorem 4 & 5 are valid for only linear operator .Theorem 5 assumes special significance when an arbitrary operator A commutes with the Hermitian operators H of a system. Then in such case , which is an
eigen function of H will be also an eigen function of A.
Angular Momentum Operator:- Theory of angular momentum:-
To understand angular momentum operator, we must have knowledge about the theory of the angular momentum which is an important physical quantity associated with rotational motion as well as in the quantum mechanical treatment of atomic structure. In a circular
motion the momentum p is replaced by L (angular momentum) and F
is replaced by N (𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑞𝑢𝑒). For a particle of mass ‘m’ rotating around a point o, the angular momentum ( L
) is defined as the vector product,
( L
) = pr
………..(i)
Where r , a vector denotes the distance of the
particles from O and p another vector denotes the linear
momentum of the particle. The vector L
is directed outwards from o at right angles to the
plane of the rotation i.e. the plane of the vectors pandr .
The angular momentum vector

Here Lx, Ly and Lz are the components of L along x, y, and z axes. Classical mechanics puts no restriction on the magnitude of the angular momentum and its components Lx, Ly and Lz can be determined simultaneously precisely. But in quantum mechanics, however, simultaneous determination of two physically observable quantities depends on, whether the corresponding operators commute. Angular Momentum operators:-
Now we know, from equation (v)

By replacing px, py and pz in above equation bytheir operators, the operators for Lx, Ly and Lz may be written as,

The total angular momentum L = iLx +j Ly+kLz is a vector operator.So,

The operators xL , yL and zL so not commute among themselves but
each of them commutes with 2L . The commutation relations shown by (viii) indicates that no two components of angular momentum can be measured simultaneously with an arbitrary precision. However, square of the total angular momentum as well as Lx, Ly and Lz can be simultaneously specified. i.e. 0]ˆˆ[ 2 qLL Where q = x, y, z.
In this way, it can be shown that 2L commutes with xL , yL and zL

There are certain simple systems for which the Schrödinger equation can be solved exactly. These systems are an idealization of naturally occurring systems, but the consideration of them furnish an insight into the method of quantum mechanics and give results which are useful in the discussion of many problems of physical and chemical interest. e.g. Free particle, the particle in a box, the rigid rotater, the harmonic oscillator etc. Upto Graduation level we have already learned systems like free particle and the particle in one dimensional and three dimensional boxes. The free particle is a simplest imaginable system would be a particle of mass in moving in the x-direction under the influence of no forces. All possible values of Energy Ex from 0 to are possible and we have thus a continuous spectrum of energy values for this system. The Particle in a box:- In this system we considered a particle of mass m constrained to move in a fixed region of space, which for simplicity we have taken a rectangular box with edges of box a, b and c and volume v = a b c. The P.E (V) have been taken equal to zero inside the box and at the boundaries of the box and in the remaining of space we considered v . The value of eigen function xyz and Eigen value Exyz
were evaluated by solving Schrödinger equation and the final results were therefore,

fixed distance from each other by a rigid massless rod of length r. It is simply called two-particle rigid rotor or rotator. It is a suitable model for diatomic molecules which we may consider a dumb bell which consists of two balls of masses m1 & m2 representing the atoms connected by a rigid rod of length ‘r’ that represents the chemical bond between the atoms. This is known as the rigid rotator model. We consider the rotation of this rigid rotator about an axis perpendicular to its own axis and passing through the centre of gravity as shown below:-
Now let us ignore the masses of electrons and the vibration of the nuclei and thus a diatomic molecule may be compared to a rigid rotator. The rotational motion of such a diatomic rotator, corresponds to the motion of two masses in such a way that the centre of masses and the inter nuclear distance remain unchanged. Let the centre of mass be considered to be at the origin of the coordinate system. If during rotation the two masses m1 & m2 moves with linear velocities v1 & v2 respectively and the distance r1 & r2 remains unchanged, then the K.E.(T) due to rotation is given by

Rotation of rigid diatomic molecule can occur in a plane (with fixed axis of rotation) or in a space (i.e. with free axis) Rotation in Plane (Fixed axis) If a diatomic molecule rotates in the xy plane rotational axis concides with z-axis. The angular momentum will have only the z-components Lz (Lx = Ly = 0 because the molecule cannot move out of plane). The rotational energy of the molecule will be equal to the Kinetic Energy (i.e. v = 0). The Hamiltonian for such a system will be,

Rotation in space means that the axis of rotation is in free to take any
direction in space. In this case, there are two angular variables and
is the angle which the axis of rotation makes with z-axis, and is the angle in the xy plane between the x axis and the projection of the rotation axis in the xy plane. Since the inter nuclear distance does not change, the potential energy v is zero. Then, the rotation energy, which is the same as the kinetic energy , is given by,

Simple Harmonic Oscillator Classical concept:- When a particle oscillates about its mean position along a straight line under the action of a force which (a) is directed towards the mean position and (b) is proportional to the displacement at any instant from this position, the motion of the particle is said to be simple harmonic and oscillating particles is simple harmonic oscillator or a linear harmonic oscillator. The H.O. is an important example of periodic motion because it seems as an exact or an approximate model for many problems in classical or quantum mechanics. At temp. above the 00K the atom in a crystal are temporarily displaced from their normal positions in the structure due to absorption of thermal energy. These atoms in a molecule execute vibratory motion along a bond with bond length and bond angles changing periodically. Consequently, inter atomic forces obeying Hook’s law act on displaced atom. The vibration execute by such atom are similar to those of a simple harmonic oscillator. If the equilibrium position of a linear harmonic oscillator of mass m be the origin ‘o’, and the straight line of its motion be the x-axis, and If 𝑥 be the displacement from ‘o’, then the restoring force,

The quantum mechanical treatment of molecule needs non relativistic Hamiltonian of molecule containing n electron and N nuclei. Nucleus is regarded as positively charged point mass. As we know,
VTH ˆˆˆ VandTH ˆˆ,ˆ are Hamiltonian, kinetic energy and potential energy
operators respectively. T and V are Kinetic energy and potential energy of system consisting of electrons and nuclei. T = K.E. of nuclei + K.E. of electrons = Tn + Te (Say) V = P.E. of system due to interaction of electrons and electrons, proton and proton (i.e. nuclei) and electrons and nuclei. i.e. V= Vee + Vnn +Vee Now writing for their operators we have,

Since, we know that electrons are much lighter than nuclei. Even the
lightest nuclei i.e. proton is 1836
1 times heavier than an electron, the
latter moves appreciably faster than the former and instantaneously adjust to new nuclear position. Born and Oppenheimer proposed, on the assumption that electrons move independently of nuclei move, the solution of Schrödinger wave equation for a system of mobile electrons and nuclei by merely solving the equation of electronic motion for different fixed inter nuclear position. This is Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Let Rr, the composite function of electronic and nuclear motion be
separable into R(r) and (R).
R(r) represents the electronic function of r for given R (inter nuclear
distance) and (R) the nuclear function of R.

Equation (18) and (19) describe the nuclear motion (vibrational and rotational) in potential field of E(R) = Ee + Vnn.
Born-Oppenheimer Approximation is utilized to solve the equation (8). It involves two steps. In the first step equation (10) is solved for various values of R i.e. various nucleus conformations. It gives the value of Ee. Now adding Vnn to it we get E(R) which is the function of R. solution of equation (19) gives the total energy of the molecule. A plot of E(R) versus R is customarily called potential energy curve of diatomic molecules and multidimensional potential energy surface for polyatomic molecules. For a diatomic molecule R is internuclear distance and for polyatomic molecules R includes bond angle, bond lengths and dihedral angles, all possible internal co-ordinates. Solution of Schrödinger Equation (electronic) of molecules: As the equation (10), the the electronic Schrödinger equation follows, eeeeneeeee EVVTH ˆˆ

Solutions of systems like H2+, H2 etc for evaluation of their electronic
wave functions e and energies Ee or E led to achievement of solution of bigger molecules. Two approximate methods have been in use for solution of electronic Schrödinger equation since early days. These are known as Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT) and Valence Bond Theory (VBT). MOT was proposed independently by Hund and Milliken in 1928. Huckel, Lennard-Jones, Longuet-Higgins and Coulson also contributed significantly to development of MOT. Pioneering work on the H2 molecule by Heitler and London in 1927 laid the foundation of VBT, further developed by Pauling and Slater. In both MOT and VBT the approximate wave function of electrons in molecular system are expressed in term of atomic wave function which are atom-centered or some other functions having same symmetry as that of atomic wave function/ orbital. The atom-centered functions from together the basis set for the molecules. The Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT)
On the basis of the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation a molecule is treated as an entity where the electron are not centered to particular nucleus / nuclei rather these are delocalized over all the nuclei i.e. each electron remains under influence of potential field due to all the nuclei.

We need MO function e in order to solve the equation (21) and (22). LCAO-MO approximation method provides an approximate trial function in order to solve aforesaid equations. The atomic orbital wave functions are chosen as basic functions to construct trial function by linear combination of atomic orbital wave functions centered on each nucleus. The linear combination a.o’s with coefficients give one electron molecular orbital wave function often called LCAO-MO. Larger will be the number of basic functions, more accurate will be the MO wave function. Such as,

The Valence Bond Treatment (H2 molecule) The valence bond method is the quantum mechanical treatment of Lewis theory of electron pair bond formation. Heitler and London did not propose any new type of molecular orbital in which electrons are associated with all the nuclei present in a molecule. Rather, the atomic orbitals were retained i.e. electrons were assumed to be centred on their respective nuclei and on this basis, molecular wave function was framed. Let us designate two nuclei by A and B and two electrons by (1) and (2) in H2 molecule. When nuclei A and B are at infinite distance there may be two following possibilities.

The Huckel Molecular Orbital Theory: A number of semi empirical methods have been developed for quantum mechanical treatment of polyatomic molecules which take cognizance of the fact that inner shells (orbitals) of constituent atoms in a molecule remain practically unchanged during formation of a molecule. Most of the integrals in semi empirical methods are evaluated approximately and sometimes by fitting experimental data HMO theory is the oldest and the most popular semi empirical method to deal with planar conjugate hydrocarbons quantum mechanically such as ethylene, allyl systems,1:3 butadiene, cyclo propenylsystems. Cyclobutadiene, benzene napthalene etc., they contain usually alternate single and double bond in their lewis structures. Single c-c bond containing 𝜎-bond and c=c double bod containing 𝜎 and 𝜋 bonds. In Huekel theory only the 𝜋 –electrons are considered. Essential features of the Huckel theory- Let us considers conjugated planar organic molecule in which all atoms
lie in xy plane .
XY Plane

Ψi = 𝛴 Cpi Φp (1)
Where Ψi is a Huckel MO and N is the number of c-atoms. In neutral molecule it is equal to number of 𝜋 electons. The H-atoms are excluded as they do not contain a 2pz orbital. The atomic orbitals are assumed to be orthonormal i.e <∅p|∅q>= 𝛿pq.

Where �� is a some sort of effective one electron Hamiltonian operator which is not explicitly defined and ∈I is the orbital energy. Multiplying both by ψi at the both sides of equation (2) and integrating we have,
Where the matrix element Hpq = <∅p|��| ∅𝑞 >all diagonal elements Hpp are set to be ∝ called the coulomb integral. The off diagonal elements Hpq are set equal to zero for p-q =+2,+3 ---- ie for non adjacent c-atoms and these are set equal to 𝛽 Where p-q= ±1 ie for adjacent c-atoms in chain as well as structure molecule. 𝛽 is called lresonance integral.

The Huckel theory is an independent particle model. Thus, the Hamiltonian operator and the wave function of a system of N 𝜋 −𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑠 are given by
�� (1,2------N)= �� (1) + �� (2) +------------��(n) -------------(12) Ψ (1,2, --------N)= Ψ (1). Ψ (2) --------------- ΨN (N)-------------(13) In the framework of the Huckel theory the schrodinger equation for system is given by
