Hold clos to y... S rainbow from lights. Turn so rainbow is horizontal. In atomic discharg lamps, lots of lctrons givn bunch of nrgy (voltag). Bash into atoms. ( Non lights, Mrcury strt lamps) 120 Volts voltag diffrnc or mor with long tub Moving lctrons Colliding with atoms Cathod What colors from whit light? What colors from hydrogn? What from sodium? What from mrcury? What colors from non? Hydrogn Hydrogn Whit light = whol spctrum Each typ of atom producs uniqu st of colors. Calld its spctrum, plural spctra. Na Hydrogn Each typ of atom producs uniqu st of colors. Discussion: if w know that diffrnt colors of light rprsnt diffrnt nrgis, what dos this man about atoms? Studnt suggstions: a. b. c. d Rviw of atom discharg lamps non signs. Enrgy lvls mtal, bulb filamnt, or not stuck in atom (lik sun). If hot, jump btwn all diff. lvls. Wiggl around, all colors. In discharg lamps, lots of lctrons givn bunch of nrgy (voltag). Bash into atoms. ( discharg tub ) 120 V or mor with long tub Enrgy lvls in isolatd atom. kick up, only crtain wavlngths whn com down. 36 Discussion: Givn what w know about light, what dos this imply about lctrons in atoms? Implis that lctrons only chang btwn vry spcific nrgis. Only way for individual atoms to giv off nrgy is as light. Each tim a photon is mittd an lctron must b changing in nrgy by that amount (rlasing nrgy). (basics, applications) Atoms ar lazy always want to go back to lowst nrgy stat. 2. Excitd atom..lctron 3. Elctron 1. Fast lctron in atom gos to highr jumps back to hits atom nrgy low nrgy Lss KE Highr nrgy Ground stat Excitd stat 10ns 37 5

Whn lctron movs to location furthr from th nuclus, a. nrgy of lctron dcrass bcaus nrgy is rlasd as positiv and ngativ chargs ar sparatd, and thr is a dcras in lctrostatic potntial nrgy of lctron sinc it is now furthr away b. nrgy of lctron incrass bcaus it taks nrgy input to sparat positiv and ngativ chargs, and thr is an incras in th lctrostatic potntial nrgy of th lctron. c. nrgy of lctron incrass bcaus it taks nrgy input to sparat positiv and ngativ chargs, and thr is a dcras in th lctrostatic potntial nrgy of th lctron. (Forc on lctron is lss, but Potntial Enrgy is highr!) 39 Nuclus F Elctron Highr Enrgy Enrgy lvls nrgy lvls of lctron stuck in atom 3 2 nrgy of colliding 1 lctron Elctron fls forc toward nuclus. Must work against that forc to mov lctron farthr away, so incras in PE. Whn lctron movs to location furthr from th nuclus, Answr is b. nrgy of lctron incrass bcaus it taks nrgy input to sparat positiv and ngativ chargs, and thr is an incras in th lctrostatic potntial nrgy of th lctron. It s lik pushing a bouldr out of a ditch (stp at first and shallow latr on). 40 So lctrons at highr nrgy lvls ar furthr from th nuclus! G (ground) If th colliding lctrons hav an nrgy btwn that of lvl and lvl 3 whn thy hit th atom a. no lvls will b xcitd, and so no light will com out. b. 1 color of light will com out c. 2 colors of light will com out d. 3 colors of light will com out. 4 colors com out. ans. d. nough nrgy to xcit lvl 2, thn gt 2 1 followd 41 by 1 G, but also can go 2 G. Enrgy lvl diagrams rprsnt nrgy lctron can go to. diffrnt hight = diffrnt nrgy For Hydrogn, transitions to ground stat in ultraviolt! No light mittd with colors in this rgion bcaus no nrgy lvls spacd with this nrgy. Enrgy Important Idas 1) Elctrons in atoms only found in spcific nrgy lvls 2) Diffrnt st of nrgy lvls for diffrnt atoms 3) 1 photon mittd pr lctron jump down btwn nrgy lvls. Photon color dtrmind by nrgy diffrnc. 4) lctron spnds vry littl tim (10 8 s) in xcitd stat bfor hopping back down to lowst unfilld lvl. 5) If lctron not stuck in atom, can hav any nrgy. Hydrogn Lithium Elctron nrgy lvls in 2 diffrnt atoms Lvls hav diffrnt spacing. Atoms with mor than on lctron lowr lvls filld. 42 (not to scal) 43 6
