3.2 Analysis
What did the activity demonstrate?
What developments of a better atomic model were derived from the idea of
Bohr?
What is Quantum Mechanical Model?
Describe in detail the Quantum Mechanical Model?
3.3 Abstraction
This activity demonstrates what scientists found out that it is not possible to know the
exact position of the electron. So, Bohr’s idea that electrons are found in definite
orbits around the nucleus was rejected.
Three physicists led the development of a better model of the atom. These were
Louie de Broglie, Erwin Schrodinger, and Werner Karl Heisenberg. De Broglie
proposed that the electron (which is thought of as a particle) could also be thought
of as a wave. Schrodinger used this idea to develop a mathematical equation to
describe the hydrogen atom. Heisenberg discovered that for a very small particle
like the electron, its location cannot be exactly known and how it is moving. This is
called the uncertainty principle.
The quantum mechanical model views an electron as a cloud of negative charge
having a certain geometrical shape. This model shows how likely an electron could
be found in various locations around the nucleus.
The quantum mechanical model also gives information about the energy of the
electron. The model also describes the region of space around the nucleus as
consisting of shells. These shells are also called principal or main energy levels. The
principal energy levels or shells may have one or more sublevels. These sublevels are
assigned with letters: s, p, d, f, and g.
3.4 Application
Create a concept map showing the development of atomic models from
that of Rutherford up to the Quantum Mechanical Model.
