Quantum Chemistry

Quantum chemistry deals with the properties of chemical systems and their reactions. The branch of chemistry which is more concerned with quantum chemistry is physical chemistry. It is a more sophisticated field of theoretical physics which is concerned towards the application of physical concepts towards various chemical aspects such as, formation of atoms, chemical structure descriptions, chemical bond strength, hybridization, conjugation etc. Quantum chemistry mainly studies the various states i.e., ground state, excited state, transition states of the individual atoms or molecules taking place during any chemical reaction. The laws of motion explained by various scientists, which are termed as “classical mechanics” were not acceptable in terms of electrons, protons, atoms, light etc. Thus, a new theory named “quantum mechanics” emerged to understand the basic framework of various atomic and subatomic particles.

6.92 The photoelectric effect can he used to measure the value of Planck's constant. Suppose that a photoelectric effect experiment was carried out using light with v=7.501014s1 and ejected electrons were detected with a kinetic energy of 2.501011 J. The experiment was then repeated using light with v=1.001015s1 and the same metal target, and electrons were ejected with kinetic energy of 5.001011 J. Use these data to find a value for Planck’s constant. HINTS: These data are fictional and will give a result that is quite different from the real value of Planck's constant. Be sure that you do not use the real value of Planck's constant in any calculations here. It may help to start by thinking about how you would calculate the metal's binding energy if you already knew Planck's constant.
