  2. History of atomic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_atomic_theory

    Modern atomic theory is not based on these old concepts. [2] [3] In the early 19th century, the scientist John Dalton noticed that chemical substances seemed to combine with each other by discrete and consistent units of weight, and he decided to use the word atom to refer to these units. [4]

  3. Standard Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model

    The local SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) gauge symmetry is an internal symmetry that essentially defines the Standard Model. Roughly, the three factors of the gauge symmetry give rise to the three fundamental interactions. The fields fall into different representations of the various symmetry groups of the Standard Model (see table). Upon writing the ...

    The electric charge Q, third component of weak isospin T 3 (also called T z, I 3 or I z) and weak hypercharge Y W are related by = +, (or by the alternative convention Q = T 3 + Y W). The first convention, used in this article, is equivalent to the earlier Gell-Mann–Nishijima formula. It makes the hypercharge be twice the average charge of a ...

  5. Hund's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hund's_rules

    We need to consider only the outer 3p 2 electrons, for which it can be shown (see term symbols) that the possible terms allowed by the Pauli exclusion principle are 1 D , 3 P , and 1 S. Hund's first rule now states that the ground state term is 3 P, which has S = 1. The superscript 3 is the value of the multiplicity = 2S + 1 = 3.

  6. Bohr–Sommerfeld model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr–Sommerfeld_model

    The Bohr–Sommerfeld model (also known as the Sommerfeld model or Bohr–Sommerfeld theory) was an extension of the Bohr model to allow elliptical orbits of electrons around an atomic nucleus. Bohr–Sommerfeld theory is named after Danish physicist Niels Bohr and German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld .

  7. Rydberg–Ritz combination principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg–Ritz_combination...

    The combination principle is explained using quantum theory. Light consists of photons whose energy E is proportional to the frequency ν and wavenumber of the light: E = hν = hc/λ (where h is the Planck constant, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength. A combination of frequencies or wavenumbers is then equivalent to a combination ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulong–Petit_law

    Molar heat capacity of most elements at 25 °C is in the range between 2.8 R and 3.4 R: Plot as a function of atomic number with a y range from 22.5 to 30 J/mol K.. The Dulong–Petit law, a thermodynamic law proposed by French physicists Pierre Louis Dulong and Alexis Thérèse Petit, states that the classical expression for the molar specific heat capacity of certain chemical elements is ...
