Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles. It is most generally used to find the composition of a sample by generating a mass spectrum representing the masses of sample components. The mass spectrum is measured by a mass spectrometer. wao0O0_qM
An analytical technique for identification of chemical structures, determination of mixtures, and quantitative elemental analysis, based on application of the mass spectrometer. Francis Aston - devised first mass spectrograph
› In a mass spectograph ions pass down an evacuated path inside a magnet Four factors which determine particle’s path in mass spectrometer 1. accelerating voltage 2. magnetic field strength 3. masses of particles 4. charge on particles
Mass spectrometers consist of three basic parts: an ion source, a mass analyzer, and a detector system. The stages within the mass spectrometer are: › Production of ions from the sample › Separation of ions with different masses › Detection of the number of ions of each mass produced › Collection of data to generate the mass spectrum
This technique is applicable in: identifying unknown compounds by the mass of the compound molecules or their fragments determining the isotopic composition of elements in a compound determining the structure of a compound by observing its fragmentation quantifying the amount of a compound in a sample using carefully designed methods studying the fundamentals of gas phase ion chemistry (the chemistry of ions and neutrals in vacuum) determining other important physical, chemical, or even biological properties of compounds with a variety of other approaches
Since different chemicals have different masses, this info is used to determine what chemicals are present in a sample. For example, table salt: NaCl, may be vaporized, turned into gas and ionized into ions, electrically charged particles (Na + and Cl - ), in the first phase of the mass spectrometry.
The sodium ions are monoisotopic, with mass 23 u. Chloride ions have two isotopes of mass 35 u (~75%) and mass 37 u (~25%). Since they have a charge, the speed and direction may be changed with an electric or magnetic field. An electric field accelerates the ions to a high speed. Next they are directed into a magnetic field which applies a force to each ion perpendicular to the plane of the particles' direction of travel and the magnetic field lines.
This force deflects the ions (makes them curve instead of traveling in a straight line) to varying degrees depending on their mass-to-charge ratio. Lighter ions get deflected more than the heavier ions. This is due to Newton’s 2 nd law of Motion. The acceleration of a particle is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore, the magnetic field deflects the lighter ions more than it does the heavier ions.
The detector measures the deflection of each resulting ion beam. From this measurement, the mass-to- charge ratios of all the ions produced in the source can be determined. So the chemical composition of the original sample (both sodium and chlorine are present in the sample) and the isotopic compositions of its constituents (the ratio of 35 Cl to 37 Cl atoms) can be determined.

Ex. 5) What is the frequency of green light of wavelength 5200 Å ? Max Planck › energy is quantized › light has particle character Planck’s equation Ex. 6) What is energy of a photon of green light with wavelength 5200 Å ?
Albert Einstein explained the photoelectric effect in 1905 › 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics electrons are particle like b/c energy from a photon transfers to e - during collisions. If you increase energy, more electrons get kicked off. Each individual photon makes a spark, 1 e - per photon. The more intense the light, the more photons. Light strikes the surface of various metals and causes electrons to be ejected.
emission spectrum electric current passing through a gas in a vacuum tube (at very low pressure) causes the gas to emit light emission or bright line spectrum
absorption spectrum shining a beam of white light through a sample of gas gives an absorption spectrum shows the wavelengths of light that have been absorbed
use spectra to identify elements can even identify elements in stars
Light of a characteristic wavelength (& frequency) is emitted when electron falls from higher E (orbit) to lower E (orbit) origin of emission spectrum light of a characteristic wavelength (& frequency) is absorbed when electron jumps from lower E (orbit) to higher E (orbit) origin of absorption spectrum
how atoms talk to us” › we have to interpret their language Bohr, Schrodinger, and Heisenberg were some of the first scientists to translate the language of atoms Ex. 7) An orange line of wavelength 5890 Å is observed in the emission spectrum of sodium. What is the energy of one photon of this orange light?
Werner Heisenberg › Uncertainty Principle It is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position & momentum of an electron. Why? The act of measuring a very small particle changes its position, so it is impossible to precisely determine both the position and momentum of that object. › electron microscopes use this phenomenon › devices for detecting motion of electron disturbs its position
There are four quantum numbers which describe the relative position and energy of an electron in an atom. 1. Principal quantum number 2. Angular momentum quantum number 3. Magnetic quantum number 4. Spin quantum number
Symbol “n” – refers to energy level n = 1, 2, 3, … The principal quantum number describes the relative distance from the nucleus. It is often referred to as Energy Level or Shell. electron’s energy depends principally on n
angular momentum, tells shape of the atomic orbitals Atomic Orbitals - regions of space where the probability of finding an electron around an atom is highest ~ volume that the electrons occupy 90-95% of the time symbol ℓ to find ℓ plug into n-1 n=1 n=2 n=3 …. n=8 ℓ =0 ℓ = 0, 1 ℓ = 0, 1, 2 ℓ = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
represents the sublevels within an energy level: s, p, d, f (code letters for the shapes of orbitals) è s=0 è p=1 è d=2 è f=3 Quantum number - ℓ ℓ = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, (n-1) ℓ = s, p, d, f, g, h, (n-1)
u s orbitals are spherical in shape. u Every energy level has an s orbital s orbitals have angular momentum quantum number ( l ) equal to 0.
p orbitals are shaped like dumbbells or peanuts. They are oriented along the x, y, and z coordinates. They have an angular momentum quantum number ( l ) equal to 1. 3 per n level, p x, p y, p z l = 1
p orbitals
start with n = 3 4 clover leaf shaped and 1 peanut shaped with a doughnut around it on Cartesian axes and rotated 45 o 5 per n level l = 2 m l = -2,-1,0,+1,+2 5 values of m l m l = Magnetic quantum number (info in a few slides)
start with n = 4 most complex shaped orbitals 7 per n level, complicated names l = 3 m l = -3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2, +3 7 values of m l important effects in lanthanides & actinides
3 rd quantum number symbol m l Helps tell orientation of orbitals m l = - l to + l
l =0 m l =0 › only 1 value s orbital l =1 m l = -1, 0, 1 › 3 values p orbitals l =2 m l = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 › 5 values d orbitals l =3 m l = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 › 7 values f orbitals
4 th quantum number, symbol = m s › m s = +1/2 or -1/2 tells us the spin and orientation of the magnetic field of the electrons
spin effects › every orbital can hold up to two electrons › one spin up one spin down spin describes the direction of their magnetic field e- have charges two allowable magnetic states
paired electrons have spins unaligned › no net magnetic field diamagnetic - repelled by a magnetic field, all electrons are paired unpaired electrons have their spins aligned or › enhanced magnetic field paramagnetic - attracted to a magnetic field, has unpaired electrons
1. Always fill orbitals in lowest energy level first. (Aufbau Principle) Aufbau Principle - The electron that distinguishes an element from the previous element enters the lowest energy atomic orbital available. (in other words fill one energy sublevel before moving up) 2. No two e- can have same 4 quantum numbers in an atom. (Pauli Exclusion Principle) Wolfgang Pauli › No two electrons in an atom may have identical sets of 4 quantum numbers.
3. Spread e- out on a sublevel if possible. (Hund’s Rule) Electrons will spread themselves out among the orbitals individually and give unpaired, parallel spins. The pairing of electrons is an unfavorable process; energy must be expended in order to make it occur. Exception: If you can achieve full or half-full orbitals by moving one e- between s ~ d or s ~ f orbitals, do so. It’s lower in energy because there is an increased stability due to the decrease in the screening of electron/nuclear attractions

Ground State – lowest energy/most stable state of an atom, molecule, or ion. Fills one sublevel before moving up, follows Aufbau Principle. Excited State – orbitals skipped, does not follow Aufbau Principle Forbidden State – very wrong or not possible
Isoelectronic – different elements that have the same electron configuration b/c of gaining or losing electrons. Shielding effect - negatively charged electrons prevents higher orbital electrons from experiencing the full nuclear charge by the repelling effect of inner-layer electrons Effective nuclear charge - the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom

Extra credit 1) In a universe far far away, the laws of quantum mechanics are the same as ours with one small change. Electrons in this universe have three spin states, -1, 0, and +1, rather than the two, +1/2 and -1/2, that we have. What two elements in this universe would be the first and second noble gases? (Assume that the elements in this different universe have the same symbols as in ours.)
