Spectroscopy - The study of the interaction of substances with electromagnetic radiation. The energy can be very great such as that of gamma rays or relatively weak such as that of microwaves. Different substances have such differing spectra that spectroscopy is usually used for positive identification. For example when new elements were being discovered the visible emission spectra were used for confirmation.

Photochemistry - The study of chemical reactions caused by the absorption of light.
Laws of Photochemistry
1. Only light absorbed by a molecule or atom can effect a chemical change.
2. Absorption of light is a one quantum process therefore the sum of the efficiencies of the primary processes must be unity.
This law holds for atmospheric processes, but not for some laboratory processes in which the photon flux is so great that a second photon can be absorbed before the energy from first photon is expelled.

So what are those funny symbols behind the O atoms and O2 molecules? Term Symbols. Spectroscopy: A Quick Qualitative Description Term symbols show the energy state of atoms and molecules, as described by the quantum numbers.
Atomic Quantum Numbers:n – principal quantum number. Value: 1, 2, 3, ....Tells which shell of an atom the e- resides. The farther from the nucleus the higher the n.
l the azimuthal quantum number. Value: 0 to n-1.Describes the orbital angular momentum of the shape of the orbital.
s – the spin quantum number. Value: ±½.
j – the total (spin plus azimuthal) quantum number. Important for heavier atoms.

Start 10/28/14 Internal Energy of Molecules
E total = E rot + E vib + E elect
The equipartition principle says that the total energy of a molecule will be the sum of the internal energy terms (rotational, vibrational, and electronic) and the external (translational) energy.
Rotational energy can be expressed as: E rot = B J(J + 1)
Where B = h/(82Ic), often in units of cm-1, with I as the moment of inertia.
Vibrational energy of an anharmonic oscillator can be expressed as:
E vib = hvib( + ½) – hvib( + ½)2 + hvib( + ½)3 + …
Where vib is a constant dependent on the bond strength and length.

Atoms and molecules tend toward the lowest energy levels. Finding the lowest levels for molecules is complicated, but for atoms:• Lowest n• Highest l • Highest s (no two electrons in the same shell until they are all occupied by at least one electron).• Lowest j

Selection Rules for Atomic Transitionsn = 0, 1, 2, … (no restrictions)l = ± 1j = 0, ± 1S = 0 This is the strongest rule: no multiplicity change.
S ≠ 0 is a “forbidden” transition.
Let us examine O atoms as an example.

The Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum are a good example of absorption spectroscopy. Elements in the solar and terrestrial atmospheres absorb radiation. They have funny historical names not to be confused with spectroscopic designations. D1 & D2 are Na doublets, a is O2; C, F, G', and h are H-atoms.

For a purely rotational transition, the molecule must have a permanent dipole. N2 and O2 have no long-wave IR purely rotational spectra while CO, NO, HCl, and H2O do and are thus greenhouse gases. For a combination vibration/rotation, the molecule must have at least an induced dipole. CO2 and CH4 have easily induced dipoles. The stronger the dipole the greater the absorption coefficient.

Line Shapes
Natural broadening, an inherent property of all atoms and molecules, is the result of the Heisenberg uncertainty Principle.
Et = h/2
N = 2/(2ct)
N = (2t)-1
The slowest transitions (rotations) must be accompanied by the least uncertainty in energy and are thus sharpest. For similar types of transitions the line width depends on the stability of the upper level. In the emission of light from an excited molecule, if the higher energy state is stable it will have a long lifetime and a small energy spread leading to sharp lines. Conversely if the excited state is unstable and the emission happens in a short time the line will be relatively broad.

Line Shapes
Doppler broadening, caused by thermal motions toward or away from the observer, is the same as thermal broadening. an inherent property of all atoms and molecules, is the result of the Heisenberg uncertainty Principle.
DRT½
Pressure broadening, caused by collisions between molecules, is also called Lorentz broadening. Collisions perturb the energy level of excited molecules and generally reduce their energy thus broadening and red shifting the lines. Ozone in the troposphere is subject to more pressure broadening than in the stratosphere and thus has broader (and asymmetric) absorptions lines, allowing ozone near the tropopause to absorb radiation that passes through the stratospheric ozone maximum. The 9.6 m band of O3 adds to the greenhouse effect.

Spectroscopy of Simple MoleculesExample 1. HCl
HCl has a strong dipole and strong transitions near 3.5 mm. There is only one degree of vibration freedom, and the observed transition corresponds to = 0 = 1. Rotations have such a low energy that they are already excited at room temperature with the maximum J = 3 and J = 12 common. In diatomics, J = 0 is forbidden and there is no Q branch.

Transmission spectrum of CO2
This is the bend near 15 m; there is a a Q-Branch because J = 0 is allowed. Strong absorption means CO2 is a greenhouse gas and NDIR spectroscopy is a great technique for detection. How are the wings related to temperature?

According to the Spin Conservation Rule (Wayne 1991, p. 86-94) the products of ozone (1A) must both be singlets or both triplets. This is also critical for O(1D) and OH production. Spin angular momentum sums vectorially:Products |S O2 + SO|, |S O2 + SO – 1|,…|S O2 – SO| = 2, 1, 0 for 3P + 3S,but can only be zero for 1D + 1, so the latter is favored.

1.The spectra of atoms and molecules are related to their ability to interact with electromagnetic radiation, and to their shape and structure.
2.We use the observed spectra to determine the energy levels and geometry of atoms and molecules.
3.Extraterrestrial radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere except in window regions such as the visible and IR near 10 m.
4.Transitions and reactions are influenced by selection rules, esp. spin conservation.
5.The energy and lifetime set the natural line shape:a. Rotations are slow, low energy, and very sharp.b. Vibrations are intermediate.c. Electronic transitions are very fast, high energy, and broad.

Reactions in Solution (Also called multiphase or heterogeneous
reactions) Dr. Salawitch will show that the reaction
N2O5 + H2O → 2HNO3
Has favorable enthalpy and Gibbs Free Energy, but proceeds only in the condensed (aqueous) phase. Why does it not go in the gas phase?
This reaction involves breaking two bonds and forming two new bonds. That is too many. There is no gas-phase configuration that puts the two molecules into a favorable configuration.

Reactions Rate GuidelinesBreaking bonds requires energy.Forming bonds releases energy.Both processes require proximity.
Reactions where only one bond is broken (such as thermal dissociation or photolysis) proceed quickly if there is enough energy.
HO2NO2 → HO2 + NO2
Reactions where only one bond if formed (such as ozone formation) have negative activation energy and proceed more quickly at high pressures and low temperatures.
O + O2 + M → O3 + M
Reactions where only one bond is broken and one other is formed (such as thermal dissociation or photolysis) proceed quickly if there is enough energy released.
OH + VOC → R + H2O

Reactions Rate Guidelines, continued
Reactions where there are two bonds broken or two bonds formed proceed more slowly.
NO + NO + O2 → 2NO2
Reactions where the total of bonds broken and formed exceeds three proceed slowly or not at all in the gas phase. Here G is a ‘false friend’.
O3 + H2S → H2O + SO2
NH3 + O3 → H2O + HNO2
SO2 + H2O2 → H2SO4
(Count the bonds broken and formed.) None of these reactions proceed quickly in the gas phase. The final reaction is important in cloud water however.

Lecture Summary• Changes in enthalpy andentropy,H and S, are powerful indicators of
reaction probabilities and rates and are nearly independent of temperature.• Gibbs free energy provides the criterion of feasibility, but does not dictate
rates.• The residence time (lifetime), , is the inverse of the first order rate constant,
k.• If second or third order reactions can be approximated as first order then
lifetimes can be estimated.• For reversible reactions, kf/kr = Keq
• Photolysis rates can be both calculated and measured directly. • Tropospheric ozone production depends on the rate of formation of NO2 from
NO + RO2 and on UV flux, j(NO2). • The concentration of NO an UV flux are usually limiting.
