ERNEST RUTHERFORD’S MODEL

Discovered dense + nucleus

•e-s move like planets around sun

•Mostly empty space

Didn’t explain chemical properties of elements

Niels Bohr

THE BOHR MODEL

Niels Bohr

I pictured the electrons found in specific circular paths around the nucleus, and can jump from one level to another.

Furthermore, each level has a fixed amount of energy different from other levels

BOHR’S MODEL

fixed energy e- have called Energy levels

Like rungs of laddere- can’t exist btwn energy levels

energy levels not evenly spaced

• High levels closer (less energy needed to jump)

Bohr’s model of the atom 5:17

THE QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL• e-’s don’t move like big objects

• Rutherford & Bohr model• Energy - “quantized” (in chunks)

• exact energy needed to move e- 1 energy level called a quantum

• energy never “in btwn” • quantum leap in energy must exist

• Erwin Schrodinger (1926) mathematically described energy & position of e- in atom

ELECTRON CONFIGURATIONS…….3 rules explain how e-’s fill their

orbitals:

1) Aufbau principle – e-’s enter lowest energy level first.

2) Pauli Exclusion Principle - 2 e-’s max/orbital (hotel room) - different spins

PAULI EXCLUSION PRINCIPLENo 2 electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers.

Wolfgang Pauli

To show different direction of spin, a pair in the same orbital is written as:

QUANTUM NUMBERS

Each e- has unique set of 4 quantum #’s describing it

1) Principal quantum #2) Angular momentum quantum #3) Magnetic quantum #4) Spin quantum #

ELECTRON CONFIGURATIONS

3) Hund’s Rule- When e-’s occupy orbitals of same energy, they won’t pair up until they must

write e- configuration for Phosphorus

all 15 e-’s must be accounted for

The first 2 e-’s go into the 1s orbital

• Study of light led to quantum mechanical model

• Light is electromagnetic radiation

• EM radiation: gamma rays, x-rays, radio waves, microwaves

• Speed of light = 2.998 x 108 m/s

• “c” - celeritas (Latin for speed)

• All EM radiation travels same in vacuum

IF THE LIGHT IS NOT WHITE

heating gas with electricity will emit colors

• this light thru prism is different

ATOMIC SPECTRUM

elements emit own characteristic colors

• composition of stars determined thru spectral analysis

• atomic emission spectrum

• Unique to each element, like fingerprints!

• ID’s elements

LIGHT IS A PARTICLE?Energy is quantizedLight is energy…..light must be quantized

• Matter emits e- when it absorbs energy• Albert Einstein Nobel Prize in chem

THE MATH IN CHAPTER 5There are 2 equations:

1) c = 2) E = h Put these on your 3 x 5

notecard!

EXAMPLES1) What is the wavelength of

blue light with a frequency of 8.3 x 1015 hz?

2) What is the frequency of red light with a wavelength of 4.2 x 10-5 m?

3) What is the energy of a photon of each of the above?

CHANGING THE ENERGYLet’s look at a hydrogen atom, with only one electron, and in the first energy level.

Changing the energyHeat, electricity, or light can move e-’ up to different energy levels. The electron is now said to be ““excitedexcited””

Changing the energyAs electron falls back to ground state,

it gives energy back as lightlight

Each step has different energy

further they fall, more energy released = higher frequency

orbitals also have different energies inside energy levels

WHAT IS LIGHT?Light is a particle - it comes in chunks.

Light is a wave - we can measure its wavelength and it behaves as a wave

combine E=mc2 , c=, E = 1/2 mv2 and E = hthen we can get:

= h/mv (from Louis de Broglie)Calculates wavelength of a particle.

called de Broglie’s equation • He said particles exhibit properties of waves

WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITYJ.J. Thomson won the Nobel prize for describing the electron as a particle.

His son, George Thomson won the Nobel prize for describing the wave-like nature of the electron.

The electron is a particle!

The electron is an energy

wave!

CONFUSED? YOU’VE GOT COMPANY!

“No familiar conceptions can be woven around the electron;

something unknown is doing we don’t know what.”

Physicist Sir Arthur Eddington

The Nature of the Physical World

1934

THE PHYSICS OF THE VERY SMALL

Quantum mechanics explains how very small particles behave

•Quantum mechanics is an explanation for subatomic particles and atoms as waves

Classical mechanics describes the motions of bodies much larger than atoms

HEISENBERG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLEimpossible to know exact location and velocity of particle

better we know one, less we know other

Measuring changes properties.

True in quantum mechanics, but not classical mechanics

HEISENBERG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE

You can find out where the electron is, but not where it is going.

OR…

You can find out where the electron is going, but not where it is!

“One cannot simultaneously determine both the position and momentum of an electron.”

Werner Heisenberg

IT IS MORE OBVIOUS WITH THE VERY SMALL OBJECTS

To measure where e-, we use light

But light energy (photon) moves e- due to small mass

And hitting e- changes frequency of light
