Atomic Structure All matter is composed of atoms. Understanding the structure of atoms is critical to understanding the properties of matter. properties of solid materials depend on the geometrical atomic arrangements, and the interactions between constituent atoms.
history of the atom 460 BC Democritus developed the idea of atoms! he pounded up materials in his pestle and mortar until he had reduced them to smaller and smaller particles which he called ATOMA (greek for indivisible) It took ~2400 years from when it was conceived to the time experimental evidence prove of the atom existence.
history of the atom 1808 John Dalton suggested that all matter was made up of tiny spheres that were able to bounce around with perfect elasticity and called them ATOMS
history of the atom 1898 Joseph John Thompson / Cambridge found that atoms could sometimes eject a far smaller negative particle which he called ELECTRON 1906 Nobel prize in Physics
History of the atom 1910 Ernest Rutherford / Cambridge student of Thompson 1908 Nobel prize in Chemistry proposed a more detailed model with a central nucleus: positive charge was all in a central nucleus. With this holding the electrons in place by electrical attraction
History of the atom 1913 Niels Bohr / Danish / a football fanatic 1922 Nobel prize in physics studied under Rutherford at the Victoria University in Manchester. Bohr refined Rutherford's idea by adding that the electrons were in orbits. Rather like planets orbiting the sun. With each orbit only able to contain a set number of electrons.
Bohr s atom Rutherford s model predicted a rainbow of colors rather than discrete lines obtained from an atomic line spectra. To explain the line spectra, Bohr proposed that electrons of specific energy moved in circular orbits around the nucleus and could not exist between these orbits.
Atomic Structure Atoms are composed of protons positively charged particles neutrons neutral particles nucleus electrons negatively charged particles in orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
Atomic Structure Every different atom has a characteristic number of protons in the nucleus. atomic number (Z) = number of protons For an electrically neutral atom, atomic number = number of electrons. Atoms with the same atomic number have the same chemical properties and belong to the same element.
Atomic Structure Z ranges from 1 for hydrogen to 92 for uranium (the highest for the naturally occuring elements).
Atomic Structure The atomic mass (A) of a specific atom: the sum of the number of protons and neutrons within the nucleus. mass number: A = Z + N number of protons is the same for all atoms of a given element, number of neutrons (N) may be variable.
Atomic Structure The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).
Atomic Structure/isotopes atoms of some elements have two or more different atomic masses, called isotopes.
Atomic Structure Atomic weight: Weighted average of the atomic masses of the atom s naturally occurring isotopes. Boron consists of the isotopes: 19.7% B-10 (5p+5n) and 80.3% B-11 (5p+6n). atomic weight for Boron, B = (19.7 x 10)+(80.3 x 11)]/100= 10.8 amu Bromine isotopes: 50.5% Br-79 and 49.5% Br-81. atomic weight for Bromine, Br = [(50.5 x 79)+(49.5 x 81)]/100= 80.0 amu
Atomic Structure In one mole of a substance there are 6.022 x10 23 (Avogadro s number) atoms or molecules. Atomic weight = weight of 6.023 x 10 23 atoms For example, the atomic weight of iron is 55.85 amu/atom, or 55.85 g/mol. 1 amu/atom = 1g/mol = 1 dalton Atomic mass unit (amu): 1 12 of the atomic mass of carbon atomic mass of C:12.011 amu / of H:1.008 amu

Bohr Atomic model electrons are assumed to revolve around the atomic nucleus in discrete orbitals, and the position of any particular electron is more or less well defined in terms of its orbital. Electrons are permitted to have only specific values of energy.
Bohr Atomic model
excitation vs relaxation An electron may change energy by making a quantum jump either to an higher energy (with absorption of energy) or to a lower energy (with emission of energy). relaxation excitation
Quantum Mechanics Unfortunately, extremely small particles (electrons) do not follow the laws of classical (Newtonian) physics. The new physics that mathematically treats small particles is called Quantum Mechanics.
electron distribution wave-mechanical model an electron is no longer treated as a particle moving in a discrete orbital; electron is considered to exhibit both wavelike and particle-like characteristics. The position of an electron is described by a probability distribution // electron cloud.
Quantum Mechanics Wave behavior is described with the wave function ψ, incorporating the wave and particle features of electrons (Erwin Schrödinger) The probability of finding an electron in a certain area of space is proportional to ψ 2 electron density. Austrian; 1933 Nobel prize in physics
Quantum Mechanics
Heisenberg s uncertainty principle more precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known A macroscale analogy High Shutter Speed Can judge location, but not speed. Low Shutter Speed Can judge speed, But not location
Heisenberg s uncertainty principle we cannot precisely measure the momentum and the position of an electron at the same time. As the momentum of the electron is more and more certain, the position of the electron becomes less and less certain, and vice versa. n = 2.5 cannot exist as a principal quantum number. There must be an integral number of wavelengths (n) in order for an electron to maintain a standing wave. If there were to be partial waves, the whole and partial waves would cancel each other out and the particle would not move.
Quantum Mechanics The Schrödinger equation specifies possible energy states an electron can occupy. The energy states and wave functions are characterized by a set of quantum numbers. Instead of orbits in the Bohr model, quantum numbers and wave functions describe atomic orbitals in quantum mechanics.
quantum numbers every electron in an atom is characterized by four quantum numbers. There are three quantum numbers necessary to describe an atomic orbital. The principal quantum number (n) designates size The angular moment quantum number (l) describes shape The magnetic quantum number (m l ) specifies orientation
Principal Quantum Number (n) n designates the size of the orbital. Larger values of n correspond to larger orbitals. The allowed values of n are integers: 1, 2, 3 and so forth. A collection of orbitals with the same value of n is frequently called a shell. n K L M N O P... 1 2 3 4 5 6
Angular moment Quantum Number (l) l signifies the subshell l describes the shape of the orbital. l values range from 0 to n 1 Example: If n = 2, l can be 0 or 1. n 1 2 3 4 5 6 l subshell 0 0,1 0,1,2 0,1,2,3 0 4 0 5 s s,p s,p,d s,p,d,f s,p g s,p h energy state 1 3 5 7 9 11
Magnetic Quantum Number (m l ) describes the orientation of the orbital in space. m l are integers that depend on l: l, 0, +l m l identifies # of energy states for each subshell For an s subshell: a single energy state For p, d, and f subshells: 3, 5, and 7 energy states

Atomic orbitals An s subshell has one orbital which is spherically shaped. If you were to measure where the electron was within an s subshell many, many times and plot the results on a graph you would get something like this.
Atomic Orbitals p orbitals: a dumbbell shape with electrons on either side of the nucleus in tear drop shaped lobes Three orientations: l = 1 (as required for a p orbital) m l = 1, 0, +1
Atomic Orbitals The d orbitals: Five orientations: l = 2 (as required for a d orbital) m l = 2, 1, 0, +1, +2
Atomic orbitals d-orbitals are followed by the seven f-orbitals. 7 orientations: l = 3 (as required for a d orbital) m l = -3, 2, 1, 0, +1, +2, +3

Electron Spin Quantum Number-ms used to specify an electron s spin. There are two possible directions of spin. Allowed values of m s are +½ and ½.
Pauli exclusion principle No Two Electrons in an Atom Can Have the Same Four Quantum Numbers; the same values for n, l, m l, and m s. Although the first three quantum numbers identify a specific orbital and may have the same values, the fourth is significant and must have opposite spins. a set of quantum numbers is specific to a certain electron.
Quantum numbers / Q An electron with n = 2, l = 1, ml = 1, and ms = +1/2 is found in the same atom as a second electron with n = 2, l = 1, ml = 1. What is the spin quantum number for the second electron? Since the first three quantum numbers are identical for these two electrons, we know that they are in the same orbital. As a result, the spin quantum number for the second electron cannot be the same as the spin quantum number for the first electron. This means that the spin quantum number for the second electron must be ms = 1/2.
Quantum numbers / Q An electron with n = 5, l = 4, m l = 3, and m s = 1/2 is found in the same atom as a second electron with n = 5, l = 4, m l = 3. m s =? Since the first three quantum numbers are identical for these two electrons, we know that they are in the same orbital. As a result, the spin quantum number for the second electron cannot be the same as the spin quantum number for the first electron. This means that the spin quantum number for the second electron must be ms = +1/2.
Quantum numbers / Q Can an electron with n = 1, l = 0, ml = 0, and ms = +1/2 exist in the same atom with a 2nd electron with n = 2, l = 0, ml = 0, and ms = +1/2? Since these two electrons are in different orbitals, they occupy different regions of space within the atom. As a result, their spin quantum numbers can be the same, and thus these two electrons can exist in the same atom.

Solution Ca 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4s 2 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4s 2 Remember that the 4s orbital fills before the 3d orbitals.
learning check electron configuration for an arsenic atom (Z = 33) in the ground state. Z = 18 for Ar. The order of filling beyond the noble gas core is 4s, 3d, and 4p. Fifteen electrons go into these subshells because there are 33 18 = 15 electrons in As beyond its noble gas core. 2 2 2 6 6 10 Solution As [Ar]4s 2 3d 10 4p 3 2 3 Arsenic is a p-block element; therefore, we should expect its outermost electrons to reside in a p subshell.

Valence electrons They occupy the outermost shell. They participate in the bonding between atoms They dictate the physical and chemical properties if the outermost or valence electron shell are completely filled: stable electron configurations occupation of the s and p states for the outermost shell by a total of eight electrons, in neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr); inert, or noble, gases, which are virtually unreactive chemically.
Valence electrons unfilled valence shells assume stable electron configurations by gaining or losing electrons to form charged ions, or by sharing electrons with other atoms. This is the basis for some chemical reactions, and also for atomic bonding in solids.
Valence electrons Under special circumstances, the s and p orbitals combine to form hybrid spn orbitals, where n indicates the number of p orbitals involved, which may have a value of 1, 2, or 3. The IIIA, IVA, and VA group elements of the periodic table often form these hybrids. The driving force for the formation of hybrid orbitals is a lower energy state for the valence electrons. For carbon the sp 3 hybrid is of primary importance in organic and polymer chemistries.

Hund s rule electrons fill orbitals one at a time. we must fill each shell with one electron each before starting to pair them up. the charge of an electron is negative and electrons repel each other. An electron will try to create distance between itself and other electrons by staying unpaired. This further explains why the spins of electrons in an orbital are opposite (i.e. +1/2 and -1/2).
