CHEM1101 - Resources for Week 5
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Spectroscopy
relate absorption and emission of photons to changes in electron energy levels
calculate emission and absorption wavelengths from energy levels
identify constraints on analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS)
describe how the hollow cathode lamp operates, and why it is central to sensitive AAS measurements
use the Beer-Lambert law
understand the relationship between absorption and observed colour
relate electronic absorbance and emission spectra to electronic structure
recall the meanings of HOMO and LUMO, and determine the lowest energy electronic transition
describe the process of molecular spectroscopy
compare and contrast atomic and molecular spectroscopy
calculate energy levels for one-electron atoms
Band Theory - MO in Solids
recognise that interactions of σ-orbitals gives rise to a valence bands, and σ* orbitals give rise to a conduction band in covalent networks
use, define and explain the concepts of conduction band, valence band, band gap, hole, acceptor level, donor level, n -doping and p -doping
explain the relationship between band gap and electrical and optical properties
explain how n or p doping gives rise to conductivity of electrons and hole
explain why the conductivity of semiconductors increases with temperature
recognise a diagram of the band structure of insulators, metals and types of semiconductor.
recall that the number of molecular orbitals increases with the number of atoms in a molecule
