The magnetic moment vectors `mu_(s) and mu_(l)` associated with the intrinsie spin angular momentum S and orbital angular momentum l, respectively, of an electron are predicted by quantum theory (and verified expenmentally to a high accuracy) to be given by:
`mu_(s)=-(e//m) S,`
`mu_(1)=-(e//2m)l`
Which of these relations is in accordance with the result expected classically? Outline the derivation of the classical result.

Just as Bohr.s model of atom was developed on the basis of planck.s quantum theory, wave mechanical model of atom has been developed on the basis of quantum mechanics. The herat of quantum mechanism is Schrodinger wave equation which in turn is based on Heisenberg.s uncetainity principle and de broglie concept of dual nature of matter and radiation. Bohr model could explain the main lines of hydrogen or hydrogenic spectra but could not explain their fine structure. To explain this, it was suggested that each level consists of a number of sublevels, it was suggested that each level consists of a number of sublevels, the transitions between which gave rise to closely spaced lines. The numbers representing the main energy level are called Princiapl Quantum Number (n) while those representing sublevels are called Azimuthal Quantum numbers (l) and these determine the angular momentum of the electron. The orbital angular Number (m) which is just like a further split of a sublevel into finer sublevels. Lastly the electron may rotate or spin about its own axis given rise to Spin Quantum number (s) which determines the angular momentum of the electron.

In the Bohr atom model the electrons move around the nucleus in circular orbits. Obtain an expression the magnetic moment (mu) of the electron in a Hydrogen atom in terms of its angular momentum L.

It is tempting to think that all possible transitions are permissible, and that an atomic spectrum arises from the transition of the electron from any initial orbital to any other orbital. However, this is not so, because a photon has an intrinsic spin angular momentum of sqrt2 (h)/(2pi) corresponding to S = 1 although it has no charge and no rest mass. On the other hand, an electron has got two types of angular momentum : Orbital angular momentum, L=sqrt(l(l+1))h/(2pi) and spin angular momentum, arising from orbital motion and spin motion of electron respectively. The change in angular momentum of the electron during any electronic transition mush compensate for the angular momentum carries away by the photon. to satisfy this condition the difference between the azimuthal quantum numbers of the orbital within which transition takes place must differ by one. Thus, an electron in a d-orbital (1 = 2) cannot make a transition into an s = orbital (I = 0) because the photon cannot carry away enough angular momentum. An electron as is well known, possess four quantum numbers n, I, m and s. Out of these four I determines the magnitude of orbital angular momentum (mentioned above) while (2n m determines its z-components as m((h)/(2pi)) the permissible values of only integers right from -1 to + l. While those for I are also integers starting from 0 to (n − 1). The values of I denotes the sub shell. For I = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,..... the sub-shells are denoted by the symbols s, p, d, f, g, .... respectively The spin-only magnetic moment of free ion is sqrt(8) B.M.
