- 6. The Atom and Unanswered QuestionsRecall that in Rutherford's model, the atom’s mass is concentrated in the nucleus and electrons move around it.The model doesn’t explain how the electrons were arranged around the nucleus.The model doesn’t explain why negatively charged electrons aren’t pulled into the positively charged nucleus.
- 7. The Atom and Unanswered QuestionsIn the early 1900s, scientists observed certain elements emitted visible light when heated in a flame.Analysis of the emitted light revealed that an element’s chemical behavior is related to the arrangement of the electrons in its atoms.In order to understand this relationship and the nature of atomic structure, it will be helpful to first understand the nature of light.

- 9. Wave Nature of LightAll waves can be described by several characteristics.The wavelength(λ) is the shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave. (crest to crest, trough to trough)The frequency(ν) is the number of waves that pass a given point per second.Hertz- SI unit for frequency= one wave/secEnergy increases with increasing frequency
- 10. Wave Nature of LightAll waves can be described by several characteristics.The amplitude is the wave’s height from the origin to a crest.Independent of wavelength and frequency
- 11. Wave Nature of Light

- 15. Wave Nature of Light
- 16. Particle Nature of LightThe wave model of light cannot explain all of light’s characteristics.Matter can gain or lose energy only in small, specific amounts called quanta.A quantum is the minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom.
- 17. Particle Nature of LightMax Planck (1858-1947) – matter can gain or lose energy only in small amounts.E=hvPlanck’s constanthas a value of 6.626 x10–34 J ● s.Energy can only be emitted or absorbed in whole number multiples of h.

- 32. Quantum Theory of the AtomObjectives:Compare the Bohr and quantum mechanical models of the atom.Explain the impact of de Broglie's wave article duality and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle on the current view of electrons in atoms.Identifythe relationships among a hydrogen atom's energy levels, sublevels, and atomic orbitals.
- 33. Bohr’s Model of the AtomBohr correctly predicted the frequency lines in hydrogen’s atomic emission spectrum.The lowest allowable energy state of an atom is called its ground state.When an atom gains energy, it is in an excited state.
- 34. Bohr’s Model of the AtomBohr suggested that an electron moves around the nucleus only in certain allowed circular orbits.The smaller the electron’s orbit the lower the atom’s energy state or level
- 35. Bohr’s Model of the AtomBohr suggested that an electron moves around the nucleus only in certain allowed circular orbits.The larger the electron’s orbit the higher the atom’s energy state or level.
- 36. Bohr’s Model of the AtomEach orbit was given a number, called the quantum number. The orbit closest to the nucleus is n=1
- 37. Bohr’s Model of the AtomExample: Hydrogen’s single electron is in the n = 1 orbit in the ground state. Atom does not radiate energy.When energy is added, the electron moves to the n = 2 orbit. Atom is excited. When electron moves from an excited state to ground state, a photon is emitted.
- 38. Electron States
- 39. Quantum Mechanical ModelThe Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom – this model progressed through a series of scientific findings:Louis de Broglie (1892–1987) hypothesized that particles, including electrons, could also have wavelike behaviors.Like vibrating guitar strings – multiples of half waves. Orbiting electron – whole number of wavelengths.
- 41. λrepresents wavelengthsh is Planck's constant.m represents mass of the particle.vrepresents velocity.Quantum Mechanical ModelThe de Broglie equationpredicts that all moving particles have wave characteristics.
- 42. Example ProblemWhy do we not notice the wavelengths of moving objects such as automobiles?
- 43. Quantum Mechanical ModelHeisenberg showed it is impossible to take any measurement of an object without disturbing it.The Heisenberg uncertainty principlestates that it is fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time.Means that it is impossible to assign fixed paths for electrons like the circular orbits as previously thought.
- 44. Quantum Mechanical ModelHeisenberg showed it is impossible to take any measurement of an object without disturbing it.The Heisenberg uncertainty principlestates that it is fundamentally impossible to know precisely both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time.The only quantity that can be known is the probability for an electron to occupy a certain region around the nucleus.
- 45. Quantum Mechanical ModelSchrödinger expanded on the de Broglie wave particle theory and created the quantum mechanical model that we know today.treated electrons as waves in a model called the quantum mechanical model of the atom.Schrödinger’s equation applied equally well to elements other than hydrogen.
- 46. Quantum Mechanical ModelBoth models limit an electron’s energy to certain values. Unlike the Bohr model, the quantum mechanical model makes no attempt to describe the electron’s path around the nucleus.Electrons are located around the nucleus at a position that can be described only by a probability map. A boundary surface is chosen to contain the region that the electron can be expected to occupy 90% of the time.
- 47. Quantum Mechanical ModelThe wave function predicts a three-dimensional region around the nucleus called the atomic orbital.
- 48. Quantum Numbers and the Revised ModelThe revised model defines the relationship between an electron’s energy level, sublevel and atomic orbitals.Four quantum numbers make up the identification of each electron in an atom.
- 49. Atomic OrbitalsPrincipal quantum number (n) indicates the relative size and energy of atomic orbitals. n specifies the atom’s major energy levels, called the principal energy levels.

- 57. 4:3 Energy and Wavelength Relationships
- 58. Atomic EmissionAtomic emission spectra corresponds to the release of energy from an electron changing atomic energy levels.Hydrogen’s emission spectrum comprises three series of lines. One series of lines are ultraviolet (Lyman series) and one series is infrared (Paschen series). Visible wavelengths comprise the Balmer series.
- 59. Bohr’s Model of the Atom
- 60. Atomic EmissionThe Bohr atomic model attributes these spectral lines to transitions from higher-energy states with larger electron orbits (ni) to lower-energy states with smaller electron orbits (nf).The change in energy of this jump can be calculated with:ΔE = -2.178 x 10-18 J (1/n2final – 1/n2initial)
- 61. Example ProblemsFor the Balmer series, electron orbit transition occur from larger orbits to the n=2 orbit (nfinal= 2). Calculate the change in energy and wavelengths for the following electron transitions. ninitail = 3,4,5, and 6.

Electron ConfigurationObjectives:Applythe Pauli exclusion principle, the aufbau principle, and Hund's rule to write electron configurations using orbital diagrams and electron configuration notation.Define valence electrons, and draw electron-dot structures representing an atom's valence electrons.
- 64. Electron ConfigurationThe arrangement of electrons in the atom is called the electron configuration.
- 65. Electron ConfigurationThree rules/ principals define how electrons can be arranged in atom’s orbitals. The aufbau principle states that each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available.
- 67. Electron ConfigurationThe Pauli exclusion principle states that a maximum of two electrons can occupy a single orbital, but only if the electrons have opposite spins.Electrons in orbitals can be represented by arrows in boxes and each electron has an associated spin.
- 68. Electron ConfigurationHund’s rulestates that single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal-energy orbital before additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy the same energy level orbitals.Electrons don’t like roommates.
- 69. Electron Arrangement-Electron arrangement can be represented by two common different methods. Orbital Diagram – boxes labeled with principle energy level and sublevel associated with each orbital. Arrows are drawn up and down in the box to represent electrons and their spins.

- 76. Valence ElectronsValence electronsare defined as electrons in the atom’s outermost orbitals—those associated with the atom’s highest principal energy level.Electron-dot structureconsists of the element’s symbol representing the nucleus, surrounded by dots representing the element’s valence electrons.
- 77. Electron Dot StructureElectrons are placed one at a time on the four sides of the symbol and then paired until used up. Side order doesn’t matter.Example: Na Cl

- 87. Study Guide Key ConceptsBohr’s atomic model attributes hydrogen’s emission spectrum to electrons dropping from higher-energy to lower-energy orbits. ∆E = E higher-energy orbit - E lower-energy orbit = E photon = hνThe de Broglie equation relates a particle’s wavelength to its mass, its velocity, and Planck’s constant. λ = h / mνThe quantum mechanical model of the atom assumes that electrons have wave properties.
