Vn,e1 acts on e1 and does not on e2
Vn,e2 acts on e2 and does not on e1
This is the difficult part that couples electrons.
The coupling of the electron is called “the electronic correlation”. Each electron depends on the position of the other electron (not only on its average distribution).
6
First approach: Complete neglect of Ve1,e2
Consequence: We neglect a repulsion overestimation of the atom stability
Atomic orbitals are solutions for one electron: 1s
Let try the product of two orbitals: 1s2 = 1s(e1) 1s(e2) Sum of monoelectronic operators
Sum
7
Conclusions
•The atomic wave function is a 2-electron function.
•The product of two orbitals (1-e function) is a solution •The corresponding energy is the sum of the energies.
1s2s (e1,e2) = 1s(e1) 2s (e2) E = E1s + E2s
1s2s is an atomic configuration.
Its energy is higher than that for 1s2
1s2 is the ground state; 1s2s is an excited state

9
Second approach: Ve1,e2 replaced by it mean value: -5/4 Z (E1sH)
Replacing the repulsion by a constant still allows the orbitalar approximation
-5/4Z(13.6) is a constant and do not depend on the electron position.
The first IP = 20.4 eV (24.5 eV) experimentallyThe second IP is again that of the hydrogenoid
10
Third approach: The Slater Model
Each monoelectronic operator is the hamiltonian for the hydrogenoid,
replacing Z by Z*=Z-2 (Z-)2 E1s(H) = - 77.69 eVIP = 23.29 eV assuming = 0.31

The atom with many electrons
Orbitalar approximation : Every wave function describing a polyelectronic atom will be expressed as a product of atomic orbitals.The expression 1s(1) 1s(2) 2s(3) 2s(4) 2p(5) 2p(6)… describes an atomic configuration.
We neglect the electronic correlation. Electrons are not coupled.
We neglect part of the antisymmetry that should respect the polyelectronic wave function: 1s(1) 1s(2) - 1s(2) 1s(1) The exchange of two electrons should givethe same expression changing sign.A requirement for the Pauli Principle
12
Four rules to determine the atomic configurations for the ground state
•The Pauli principle: fundamental principle of physics = always verified•The principle of stability. Just commonsense. Obvious to have the ground state•The Klechkovsky rule. Practical. Necessary to order the atomic levels. Many exceptions •The Hund rule (s). To remind that for high spin states, one of them is lower in energy
Pauli principle: Two different electrons cannot be in the same state (Two electrons cannot have the same four quantum numbers). This imposes the maximum occupancy for orbitals and spin-orbitals.One orbital is occupied by no more than 2 electrons (with opposite spin). When occupied a spin-orbital has only one electron.
13
The Slater model
Generalization of the method used for 2-electrons
Requires defining the screen factors, Allows respecting the Pauli principle and the
principle of stability
It provides its own ordering of atomic levels.

The Klechkovsky rule
This rule provides a more reliable ordering of the atomic levels than using the Slater model. It helps building the Mendeleev table. It is not always satisfied.
The atomic orbitals are ordered according to n+l values
For equivalent n+l, they are ordered according to n values: first smaller n (larger l)

Extraction of s orbitals marks a periodic discontinuity (see H, Li, Na, K, Cs and Rb).

By ordering the elements according to increasing atomic weight in vertical rows so that the horizontal rows contain analogous elements, still ordered by increasing atomic weight, one obtains the following arrangement, from which a few general conclusions may be derived.1. The elements, if arranged according to their atomic weights, exhibit a
periodicity of properties.
2. Chemically analogous elements have either similar atomic weights (Pt. Ir, Os), or weights which increase by equal increments (K, Rb, Cs).
3. The arrangement according to atomic weight corresponds to the valence of the element and to a certain extent the difference in chemical behavior, for example Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F.
D. Mendelejeff, Zeitschrift für Chemie 12, 405-6 (1869)
The opposite orientation of now
37
4. The elements distributed most widely in nature have small atomic weights, and all such elements are marked by the distinctness of their behavior. They are, therefore, the representative elements; and so the lightest element H is rightly chosen as the most representative.
5. The magnitude of the atomic weight determines the properties of the element. Therefore, in the study of compounds, not only the quantities and properties of the elements and their reciprocal behavior is to be taken into consideration, but also the atomic weight of the elements. Thus the compounds of S and Tl [Te was intended], Cl and J, display not only many analogies, but also striking differences.
6. One can predict the discovery of many new elements, for example analogues of Si and Al with atomic weights of 65-75.
7. A few atomic weights will probably require correction; for example Te cannot have the atomic weight 128, but rather 123-126.
8. From the above table, some new analogies between elements are revealed. Thus Bo [Ur was intended] appears as an analogue of Bo and Al, as is well known to have been long established experimentally.

41
Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) Better, than a list a classification
He classified the known elements into four groups: Elastic fluids
Lavoisier included light, heat, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen in this group.
Nonmetals This group includes "oxidizable and acidifiable nonmetallic elements".
Lavoisier lists sulfur, phosphorus, carbon, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and boric acid.
Metals These elements are "metallic, oxidizable, and capable of neutralizing an acid to form a salt." They include antimony and arsenic (which are not
considered metals today), silver, bismuth, cobalt, copper, tin, iron, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, gold, platinum, lead,
tungsten, and zinc. Earths
Lavoisier's salt-forming earthy solid "elements" included lime, magnesia (magnesium oxide), baryta (barium oxides), alumina (aluminum oxide),
and silica (silicon dioxide).

Atom formation
• It is not related to the stability (otherwise rare gas atoms would be abundant)
• It results from the formation of the nuclei
The big bang story
50
4 steps after the big bangabout 13.7 billion years ago.
• 1) 0-100 seconds after– T is cooling and particles form. There are
many particles in a confined space. They meet to form nuclei (later on after expansion it will not be possible; after 3 minutes space is too dilute for nuclear reactions)
– Universe contains a lot of hthat destroy nuclei. (109 for 1 H+); only H and He nuclei are formed.
• 2) 300 000 years after– T is still cooling. Radiations become
ineffective. H and He atoms are formed. They still represent 98% of the mass of the universe (1 He for 12 H everywhere)
George Gamow in 1948 Russian-American1904-1968
51
4 steps after the big bang
• 3) 30 000 000 000 years– Stars are formed because of gravitation– They are atom foundries– Atoms are unstable because of shocks. Nuclei meet
again and form larger ones– 3 He make a C (occurrence is weak but time is long in
a confined space: combustion of H forming He takes 9000 millions of years; that of He to C, 300 millions of years
– Fusion are exothermic up to Z=26 (Fe) thus elements (Z =1-100) are made. Beyond Z=26, the star uses its own energy. After a while, stars die
52
4 steps after the big bang
• 4) Stars explose in supernova.– Pieces of Stars feed the universe. Heavy
atoms represent 2% of the total– Universe is cold and atoms are stable; they
gather to make molecules and condense into new stars and planets.
