All About AtomsAll About Atoms
Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter that make up everyday objects. A desk, the air, even you are made up of atoms! There are 90 naturally occurring kinds of atoms. Scientists in labs have been able to make about 25 more.

41-2 Some Properties of AtomsBasic properties of atoms:
1. Atoms are stable.
2. Atoms combine with each other.
Atoms Are Put Together Systematically
The numbers of elements in the six periods are:
2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32.
Results of Mass Spectrometry
In atomic physics,mass spectrometers are primarily of interest as instruments for analysing the isotopic composition of chemical elements. An element often has several isotopes,for example chlorine:an isotope with mass number 35 occurs with an abundance of 75.4%;the other stable isotope with mass number A=37 has na abundance of 24.6%.The resulting relative atomic mass of the isotope mixture is Arel=35.457. There are elements with only one stable isotope,for example ; and others with two stable isotopes,
and finally there are elements with many stable isotopes.
Atoms Have Angular Momentum and Magnetism
In quantum physics,each quantum state of an election in an atom involves an angular momentum and magnetic dipole moment that have opposite directions.
(those vector quantities are said to be coupled)

Atoms Emit and Absorb LightThe light is emitted or absorbed as a photon with energy:
The Einstein-de Haas Experiment
This clever experiment designed to show that the angular momentum and magnetic moment of individual atoms are coupled.Observation of the cylinder’s rotation verified that the angular momentum and the magnetic dipole moment of an atom are couple in opposite directions. Moreover,it dramatically demonstrated that the angular momenta associated with quantum states of atoms can result in visible rotation of an object of everyday size.

To 41-9
In quantum physics,spin angular momentum is best thought of as a measurable intrinsic property of the election.
Table 41-1,shows the four quantum numbers n,l, ml, and ms, that completely specify the quantum states of the electron in a hydrogen atom.The same quantum numbers also specify the allowed states of any single election in a multielectron atom.

41-5 The stern-Gerlanch Experiment41-5 The stern-Gerlanch Experiment In the Stern-Gerlanch experiment,as it is now know,silver is vaporized in an oven, and some of the atoms in that vapor escape through a narrow slit in the oven wall,into an evacuated tube.Some of those escaping atoms then pass through a second narrow slit,to form a narrow beam of
The Experimental surpriseStern and Gerlach found was that the atoms formed two distinct spots on the glass plate,one spot above the point where they would have landed with no deflection and the other spot just as far below that point.This two-spot result can be seen in the plots of Fig.41-9,which shows the outcome of a more recent version of the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
atoms. The beam passes between the poles of an electromagnet and then lands on a glass detector plate where it forms a silver deposit.
When the field was turned off,the beam was,of course, undeflected and the detector recorded the central-peak pattern shown in Fig.419.When the field was turned on,the original beam was split vertically by the magnetic field into two smaller beams,one beam higher than the previously undeflected beam and the other beam lower.As the detector moved vertically up through these two smaller beams,it recorded the two-peak pattern show in Fig.41-9.

41-7 The Pauli Exclusion Principle41-7 The Pauli Exclusion PrinciplePauli exclusion principle : For elections,it states that
No two elections confined to the same trap can have the same set of values for its quantum numbers.
This principle means that no two elections in an atom can have the same four values for the quantum numbers n,l,ml, and ms. In other words,the quantum numbers of any two elections in an atom must differ in at least one quantum number.

The Characteristic X-ray Spectrum
The peaks arise in a two-part process(1) An energetic electron strikes an atom in the target and,while it is being scattered,the incident electron knocks out one of the atom’s deep-lying (low n value) electrons.If the deep-lying election is in the shell defined by n=1,there remains a vacancy,or hole,in this shell.
(2)An electron in one of the shells with a higher energy jumps to the K shell,filling the hole in this shell.During this jump,the atom emits a characteristic x-ray photon.

To produce laser light,we must have more photons emitted than absorbed.So there requires more atoms in the excited state than in the ground state,as in Fig.41-20b. However,since such a population inversion is not consistent with thermal equilibrium, we must think up clever ways to set up and maintain one.
