Quantum Theory

and the Atom


ELECTRONS IN ATOMS AND THE PERIODIC TABLE

PREPARED BY: TYPE YOUR NAME HERE


LEARNING OBJECTIVE

 Explainhow the Quantum


Mechanical Model of the atom
describes the energies and
positions of the electrons
Learning Goals

 Compare the Bohr and quantum mechanical


models of the atom.
 Explain the impact of de Broglie’s wave
particle duality and the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle on the current view of
electrons in atoms.
 Identify the relationships among a hydrogen
atom’s energy levels, sublevels, and atomic
orbitals.
Bohr’s Model of the
Einstein’s theory of light’s dual
Atom
nature accounted for several
unexplainable phenomena, but it
did not explain why atomic
emission spectra of elements were
discontinuous.
Bohr’s Model of the Atom

In1913, Niels Bohr, a Danish


physicist working in
Rutherford’s laboratory,
proposed a quantum model for
the hydrogen atom that
seemed to answer this
question.
Bohr’s Model of the
Atom
The lowest allowable energy state
of an atom is called its ground
state.
When an atom gains energy, it is
in an excited state.
Bohr’s Model of the
Atom
 Bohr suggested that an electron moves around
the nucleus only in certain allowed circular
orbits.
Bohr’s Model of the
Atom
Eachorbit was given a
number, called the
quantum number.
Bohr orbits are like steps
of a ladder, each at a
specific distance from the
nucleus and each at a
specific energy.
Bohr’s Model of the
Atom
Hydrogen’s single electron is in the
n = 1 orbit when it is in the ground
state.
When energy is added, the electron
moves to the n = 2 orbit.
Bohr’s Model of the
Atom
The electron releases energy as it
falls back towards the ground
state.
Bohr’s Model of the
Atom
 Bohr’smodel explained the hydrogen’s
spectral lines, but failed to explain any
other element’s lines.
 For
this and other reasons, the Bohr
model was replaced with a more
sophisticated model called the quantum-
mechanical or wave-mechanical model.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
 Louisde Broglie (1892–1987)
hypothesized that particles, including
electrons, could also have wavelike
behaviors.
 Electrons do not behave like particles
flying through space.
We cannot, in general, describe their exact
paths.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
 Heisenberg showed it is impossible to
take any measurement of an object
without disturbing it.
 TheHeisenberg uncertainty principle
states that it is fundamentally impossible
to know precisely both the velocity and
position of a particle at the same time.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
The only quantity that can
be known is the probability
for an electron to occupy a
certain region around the
nucleus.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
 Schrödingertreated electrons as waves
in a model called the quantum
mechanical model of the atom.
 Schrödinger’sequation applied equally well
to elements other than hydrogen (unlike
Bohr’s model).
Quantum Mechanical
Model
Orbitals are different from
orbits in that they
represent probability maps
that show a statistical
distribution of where the
electron is likely to be
found.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
 Inthe quantum-mechanical
model, a number and a letter
specify an orbital.
 The lowest-energy orbital is
called the 1s orbital.
Itis specified by the number
1 and the letter s.
Hydrogen’s Atomic
Orbitals
The number is called the
Principal quantum number (n)
and it indicates the relative size
and energy of atomic orbitals.
n specifies the atom’s major
energy levels, called the principal
energy levels.
Hydrogen’s Atomic
Orbitals
 Energy sublevels are contained within the
principal energy levels.
Hydrogen’s Atomic
Orbitals
 Each energy sublevel relates to orbitals of
different shape.

Hydrogen’s Atomic
Orbitals
 Orbitals are sometimes represented by dots,
where the dot density is proportional to the
probability of finding the electron.
 The dot density for the 1s orbital is greatest
near the nucleus and decreases farther away
from the nucleus.
 The electron is more likely to be found close to
the nucleus than far away from it.
Hydrogen’s Atomic
Orbitals
Hydrogen’s Atomic
Orbitals
 Atany given time, hydrogen’s
electron can occupy just one
orbital.
 When hydrogen is in the ground state,
the electron occupies the 1s orbital.
 When the atom gains a quantum of
energy, the electron is excited to one
of the unoccupied orbitals.
Quantum Numbers

A set of quantum numbers gives an


information about the atomic orbital
where an electrons may be found
 A. principal
 B. Azimuthal
 C. Magnetic
 D. Spin
A. Principal quantum number (n)
- indicates the energy level
n= 1,2,3,4 ….

B. Azimutham Quantum Number (ℓ)


- specifies the sublevel or subshell
ℓ= 0 to n-1
c. Magnetic quantum number (mℓ)
- indicates the specific orbital within the sublevel
where the electron is found
-ℓ to +ℓ

Example: 0
n=1, ℓ = 0 , mℓ =

n =2, ℓ = 0,1 , mℓ =
0, -1, 0, +1
D. Spin quantum Number
- according to Pauli Exclusion
Principle, only a maximum of
two electrons can occupy an
orbital, and they must have
opposite spins to minimize
repulsion between them.
+ ½ or - ½
