It s all about color In terms of atomic models, so far: Dalton (1803) = Tiny, solid particle Thomson (1897) = Plum Pudding model Electrons stuck on the outside of a big positive charge Rutherford (1911) = Positively-charged nucleus with electrons moving around it Rutherford s model of the atom not quite right Could not explain chemical properties of elements Could not explain color changes when metal is heated
Bohr Model of the Atom Niels Bohr s model of the atom Electron found only on specific, circular paths around nucleus Each orbit has fixed energy level Hypothesis: When electrons are excited (added energy), jump into higher energy levels. When they moved back into lower energy levels - gave off light. Electrons do not exist between levels (think of rungs on a ladder) Electrons absorb and emit only certain quanta (amounts) of energy Quantum of energy = fixed amount of energy required to move from one energy level to another energy level
Bohr s Model Nucleus Electron Orbit Energy Levels Chapter 5
Bohr s Planetary Model of the Atom Electrons must have enough energy to keep moving around the nucleus Electrons orbit nucleus in defined energy levels, just like planets orbit the sun Each energy level assigned a principal quantum number n. Lowest energy level called ground state (n=1) Higher energy levels (n=2, 3, 4...) excited states Model worked OK for hydrogen but not so good for other elements Nucleus n = 1 n = 2
Increasing energy Bohr s Model Fifth Fourth Third Second First Nucleus Chapter 5 Further away from the nucleus means more energy. There is no in between energy Energy Levels
Electron starts on lowest energy level (ground state) Add energy to electron moves to excited state Lowest energy level = ground state Higher energy levels = excited states Energy levels are not evenly spaced Energy Level 3 Energy Level 2 Energy Level 1 Nucleus
Electron starts on lowest energy level (ground state) Add energy to electron moves to excited state Energy Lowest energy level = ground state Higher energy levels = excited states Energy levels are not evenly spaced Electron returns to lower state emits/gives off quantum of energy Energy Level 3 Energy Level 2 Energy Level 1 Nucleus
Bohr used this theory to explain the lines in the atomic emission spectra for hydrogen Chapter 5

Quantum-Mechanical Model of the Atom Since the Bohr model had a very limited use, a new and very different model of the atom exists The Quantum Mechanical Model (1926) contains: Quantum energy levels Dual wave/particle nature of electrons Electron clouds In the new model, don t know exactly where electrons are - only know probabilities of where they could be
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle = impossible to know both the velocity (or momentum) and position of an electron at the same time
Quantum-Mechanical Model of the Atom Orbital = region around nucleus where an electron with a given energy level will probably (90%) be found Four kinds of orbitals s - spherical in shape, lowest orbital for every energy level p - dumbbell shaped, second orbital d - complex flower shape, third orbital f - very complex shape, highest orbital
s-orbitals All s-orbitals are spherical. As n increases, the s-orbitals get larger.
p- orbitals Three p-orbitals: p x, p y, and p z Lie along the x-, y- and z- axes of a Cartesian system. Dumbbell shaped, gets larger as n increases
d and f - orbitals There are five d and seven f-orbitals.
Quantum Mechanical Model Principle Energy Levels (n) Labeled from 1-7 First energy level is n=1 Contains sublevels (s, p, d and f) Each energy level contains the number of sublevels equal to its value for n If n=3, there are three sublevels
Chapter 5
Quantum Mechanical Model In each sublevel there are atomic orbitals Atomic orbitals describe a space where an electron is likely to be found Type of subshell Shape of orbitals Number of orbitals Orbital names s Spherical 1 s p Dumbbell 3 p x, p y, p z d Cloverleaf (and one donut) 5 f Multi-lobed 7
Quantum Mechanical Model Each orbital can contain two electrons. Since negative-negative repel, these electrons occupy the orbital with opposite spins.
Quantum Mechanical Model The total number of orbitals of an energy level is n 2. For the third principle energy level, n=3, which means there are 9 orbitals These orbitals are 3s, 3p x, 3p y, 3p z and the 5 d orbitals Remember, we no longer think of orbitals as concentric circles, but we can say that n=4 extends farther from the nucleus than n=1.
Valence Electrons Only those electrons in the highest principle energy level
Energ y Electron Configuration and Orbital Notation Aufbau Principle electrons fill lower energy orbitals first, bottom-up n=1 fills before n=3 Will an electron fill the 1s or the 2s orbital first? 2s 2p x 2p y 2p z 1s
Energ y 1s Electron Configuration &Orbital Notation Hund s Rule electrons enter same energy orbitals so that each orbital has one electron before doubling up Each of the first electrons to enter the equal energy orbitals must have the same spin If we have 7 electrons, how will they fill in the below orbitals? 2s 2p x 2p y 2p z
Energ y 1s Electron Configuration and Orbital Notation Pauli Exclusion Principle an orbital can contain no more than 2 electrons. Electrons in the same orbital must have different spins. If we have 8 electrons, how will they be arranged? 2s 2p x 2p y 2p z
Apartment Analogy Atom is the building Floors are energy levels Rooms are orbitals Only two people per room
Orbital Diagrams Draw each orbital as a box. Each electron is represented using an arrow. Up arrows clockwise spin Down arrows counter-clockwise spin Determine the total number of electrons involved. Start with the lowest energy level (1s) and start filling in the boxes according the rules we just learned.
