When sodium metal dissolves in compressed liquid ammonia, a highly conductive blue solution is formed. This effect occurs because of solvated electrons that are effectively confined within a packet of solvent molecules. In this question, we will estimate the properties of this system. a. Assuming the blue color appears due the absorption of 620 nm light, determine the energy of this light to give an estimate of the spacing between energy levels. b. If 620 nm is also the de Broglie wavelength of the electron determine its velocity.

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.
