Sommerfeld described that a portion of
electron energy is associated with its orbital
motion. To enumerate the orbital angular
momentum, he introduced a new quantum
number named azimuthal quantum number.
The letter 'k' denotes it. And its value varies
from 1 to n, where n is a principal quantum
number.
Sommerfeld corrections to
Bohr atomic model
E l l i p t i c a l e l e c t r o n o r b i t s
In Sommerfeld extension, the path of
the electron's rotation is an ellipse
with a major and a minor axes of 2a &
2b lengths. Out of the two foci on the
major axis, the nucleus locates in only
one of them.
I n t r o d u c t i o n o f a z i m u t h a l
q u a n t u m n u m b e r
The considerable variation in the electron’s
velocity on the elliptical orbit added a new
relativistic correction term to the total energy of
the electron. Now, the modified Sommerfeld’s
energy equation is below.


E n e r g y c o r r e c t i o n t e r m
R e l a t i v i s t i c e l e c t r o n m o t i o n
In the Sommerfeld model, the electron travels
at nearly the speed of the light. Hence, its
motion is relativistic. Moreover, the velocity of
the electron moving in the elliptical orbit is
different at the various parts of the ellipse. And
it causes a relativistic variation in the electron’s
mass. It changed the path of the electron from
a simple ellipse to a more complicated rosette
structure.
E x p l a n a t i o n f o r f i n e s t r u c t u r e s
If you observe the energy equation, you can
understand that the electron's energy not only
depends on the principal quantum number but also
on the azimuthal quantum number. This correction
brought a variation in the energy of the elliptical
orbits. The electron transitions to energy levels that
have a slight difference in energies will show
spectral line splitting. The splitting of the spectral
lines into two or more components with a mild
variation in their wavelengths is known as fine
structures.
Even though Bohr successfully explained the structure of an atom
with circular stationary orbits, it could not explain the fine structures
of spectral lines. In 1916, Sommerfeld extended the Bohr model to
explain spectral line splitting.
