PROBLEMS WITH RUTHERFORD’S MODEL
It didn’t explain WHY metals and metal
compounds give off characteristic colors
when they are flame tested
It didn’t explain why metals glow when
heated – first red, orange yellow and then
white
It didn’t explain the CHEMICAL properties
of elements

BOHR’S THEORY
Electrons are located at
specific energy levels
surrounding the nucleus
Each rung on the ladder
represents an energy
level
The higher the energy
level – the farther it is
from the nucleus
Bohr thought the electrons moved in
fixed ORBITS around the nucleus –
we know this is not true today

BOHR MODEL
 First model of the electron structure
 Gives levels where an electron is most likely to be found
 Incorrect today, but a key in understanding the atom

• Bohr’s model gave hydrogen atom energy levels
consistent with the hydrogen emission spectrum.
• Ground state – lowest possible energy state (n = 1)
• Bohr’s model is incorrect. This model only works for
hydrogen.
• Electrons do not move around the nucleus in
circular orbits.

SCHRÖDINGER'S THEORY
 He agreed that electrons
have a specific amount of
energy
 He believed that the
distance between rungs on
the ladder were not
consistent – they get closer
together as you move
higher up
 Quantum – the amount of
energy needed to move
from one energy level to
another
The electrons
move in regions of
probability
around the
nucleus called
ORBITALS

Quantum theory, also called wave mechanics,
describes the arrangement and space occupied
by electrons. Orbitals refers to the three-
dimensional regions in space where there is a high
probability of finding an electron around an atom.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ELECTRONS
 Extremely small mass
 Located outside the nucleus
 Moving at extremely high speeds in a
sphere
 Have specific energy levels

ENERGY OF ELECTRONS
 When atoms are heated, bright lines appear
called line spectra
 Electrons in atoms arranged in discrete
levels.
 An electron absorbs energy to “jump” to a
higher energy level.
 When an electron falls to a lower energy level,
energy is emitted.

RELATIVE ORBITAL SIZE
 Difficult to define precisely.
 Orbital is a wave function.
 Picture an orbital as a three-dimensional electron
density map.
 Hydrogen 1s orbital:
 Radius of the sphere that encloses 90% of the
total electron probability. 13
• We do not know the detailed pathway of an electron.
• The electrons move in regions of probability around the
nucleus called ORBITALS

THE ELECTRONS MOVE IN REGIONS OF PROBABILITY
AROUND THE NUCLEUS CALLED ORBITALS
DEFINING THESE ORBITALS:
Quantum Numbers are used to define:
 The energy of the electron
 The electron’s relative distance from the nucleus
 The size and shape of the ORBITAL
 The pairings of the electrons

QUANTUM NUMBERS
Principle Quantum Number (n) – define the
energy of the electron
n=1 is closest to the nucleus – low energy
n=2 is farther than n=1, slightly more energy
n=3 is farther than n=1 and n=2, still
increasing in energy
n=4 …..
Remember – The difference in energy
between energy levels decreases as “n”
increases

SUBLEVELS
Within each principle energy level (n) – there are
sublevel(s).
The larger the value of ‘n’, the more sublevels you
can have.
Sublevels – named by their shape

• The periodic table is structured so that elements with the same type of valence electron
configuration are arranged in columns.
• The left-most columns include the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals. In these elements
the valence s orbitals are being filled
• On the right hand side, the right-most block of six elements are those in which the valence p
orbitals are being filled
• In the middle is a block of ten columns that contain transition metals. These are elements in which
d orbitals are being filled
