Students must be familiar with importing and manipulating a provided MATLAB live script.
It could be easily translated into a quantum mechanics-focused course. This activity is situated mid-way through the one semester course at the start of a discussion of quantum theory. However, they recognised that its exact application was much too complicated to be solvable at the time. The founders of quantum mechanics realised how this equation underpins essentially the whole of chemistry. Knowledge of the classical description of translational motion is also important. The Schrdinger equation is the master equation of quantum chemistry. A conceptual understanding of the time-independent Schrodinger equation, including relevant terminology related to 1D solutions (e.g.,particle in a box model), is essential to this activity. In terms of disciplinary skills, students will have been introduced to the underlying concepts of quantum mechanics. Students will have completed the 2 hour MATLAB on-ramp prior to this activity. The students will begin this problem set during a synchronous class session in Zoom (50 min class period), and will complete the activity on their own outside of class (approximately 2 hours in total). This activity is designed for a one-semester physical chemistry course for BA chemistry majors at a primarily undergraduate institution. MATLAB also allows students to easily manipulate relevant variables to determine how those variables impact the solutions.
MATLAB improves student learning in this case because it allows students to perform complex mathematical calculations quickly. MATLAB is utilized in this activity by providing students with a MATLAB live script that they will input and manipulate as they solve the provided problems. Compare/contrast the particle in a box and particle in a parabolic well models in terms of energy level spacing and wavefunction. Explain the assumptions that must be made in the prior objective. Apply the particle in a box model to conjugated pi bond systems to approximate their energy levels Answer (1 of 6): This answer understands the term Schrdinger’s equation in its general sense, that is, the governing equation of quantum mechanics, of possibly many particles. Relate the number of nodes in a wavefunction to the quantum number n. The negative eigenenergies of the Hamiltonian are sought as a solution, because these represent the bound states of the atom.
What follows is a step-by-step approach to solving the radial portion of the Schrodinger equation for atoms that have a single electron in the outer shell. For the particle in a box model, describe the impact of n and box size on energy level. Solving the Radial Portion of the Schrodinger Equation. Utilize a provided MATLAB script to determine exact energy values of the time-independent Schrodinger equation
