The Electromagnetic Spectrum
10
• At high temperatures or voltages, elements in the gaseous state emit light of different colors.
• When the light is passed through a prism or diffraction grating a line spectrum results.
The Bohr AtomThe Bohr Atom
11
Line spectrum of hydrogen. Each line corresponds to the wavelength of the energy emitted when the electron of a hydrogen atom, which has absorbed energy falls back to a lower principal energy level.
These colored lines indicate that light is being emitted only at certain wavelengths.
Each element has its own unique set of spectral emission lines that distinguish it from other elements.

Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist, in 1912-1913 carried out researchon the hydrogen atom.
Niels BohrNiels BohrNiels BohrNiels Bohr
13
Electrons revolve around the nucleus in orbits that are located at fixed distances from the nucleus.
10.4
An electron has a discrete energy when it occupies an orbit.
The Bohr Atom
14
When an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy level a quantum of energy in the form of light is emitted by the atom.
10.4
The color of the light emitted corresponds to one of the lines of the hydrogen spectrum.
The Bohr Atom
15
Different lines of the hydrogen spectrum correspond to different electron energy level shifts.
10.4
The Bohr Atom

Light is not emitted continuously. It is emitted in discrete packets called quanta.

An electron can have one of several possible energies depending on its orbit.

The Bohr Atom
18
Bohr’s calculations succeeded very well in correlating the experimentally observed spectral lines with electron energy levels for the hydrogen atom.
• Bohr’s methods did not succeed for heavier atoms.
• More theoretical work on atomic structure was needed.
The Bohr Atom
19
In 1924 Louis De Broglie suggested that all objects have wave properties.
– De Broglie showed that the wavelength of ordinary sized objects, such as a baseball, are too small to be observed.
– For objects the size of an electron the wavelength can be detected.
20
In 1926 Erwin Schröedinger created a mathematical model that showed electrons as waves.
– Schröedinger’s work led to a new branch of physics called wave or quantum mechanics.
– Using Schröedinger’s wave mechanics, the probability of finding an electron in a certain region around the atom can be determined.
– The actual location of an electron within an atom cannot be determined.
21
Based on wave mechanics it is clear that electrons are not revolving around the nucleus in orbits.
• Instead of being located in orbits, the electrons are located in orbitals.
• An orbital is a region around the nucleus where there is a high probability of finding an electron.
23
According to Bohr the energies of electrons
in an atom are quantized.
The wave-mechanical model of the atom also predicts discrete principal energy levels within the atom
Energy Levels of ElectronsEnergy Levels of Electrons
24
The first four principal energy levels of the hydrogen atom.
As n increases, the energy of the electron increases.
10.7
Each level is assigned a principal quantum number n.
25
Each principal energy level is subdivided into sublevels.
10.7, 10.8
26
Within sublevels the electrons are found in orbitals.
An s orbital is spherical in shape.
The spherical surface encloses a space where there is a 90% probability that the electron may be found.
10.10
27
An electron can spin in one of two possible directions represented by ↑ or ↓.
The two electrons that occupy an atomic orbital must have opposite spins.
This is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principal.
10.10
An atomic orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
28
Each p orbital has two lobes.
Each p orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
A p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
10.10
A p sublevel is made up of three orbitals.
29
The three p orbitals share a common center.

The five d orbitals all point in different directions.

The Hydrogen Atom
In the ground state hydrogen’s single electron lies in the 1s orbital.
Hydrogen can absorb energy and the electron will move to excited states.
10.12
• The diameter of hydrogen’s nucleus is about 10-13 cm.
• The diameter of hydrogen’s electron cloud is about 10-8 cm.
• The diameter of hydrogen’s electron cloud is about 100,000 times greater than the diameter of its nucleus.
34
To determine the electronic structures of atoms, the following guidelines are used.

1. No more than two electrons can occupy one orbital
10.10
Pauli exclusion principle
36
1 s orbital
2. Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals available. They enter a higher energy orbital only after the lower orbitals are filled.
3. For the atoms beyond hydrogen, orbital energies vary as s<p<d<f for a given value of n.
2 s orbital

4. Each orbital in a sublevel is occupied by a single electron before a second electron enters. For example, all three p orbitals must contain one electron before a second electron enters a p orbital.

In 1869 Dimitri Mendeleev of Russia and Lothar Meyer of Germany independently published periodic arrangements of theelements based on increasing atomic masses.
Mendeleev’s arrangement is the precursor to the modern periodic table.

Horizontal rows are called periods.
Period numbers correspond to the highest occupied energy level.

Elements in the A groups are designated
representative elements.
10.14
Elements in the B groups are designated transition
elements.
Elements with similar properties are organized in groups or families.
Groups are numbered with Roman numerals.
57
10.15
For A family elements the valence electron configuration is the same in each column.
The chemical behavior and properties of elements in a family are associated with the electron configuration of its elements.

With the exception of helium which has a filled s orbital, the nobles gases have filled p orbitals.
To write an electron configurationusing a noble-gas core:
2. Write the elemental symbol of the noble gas in square brackets, followed
by the remaining configuration
1. Find the highest atomic-numberednoble gas (Group 8A element)less than the atomic numberof the element for which theconfiguration is being written
60
The electron configuration of any of the noble gas elements can be represented by the symbol of the element enclosed in square brackets.

The elements after argon are potassium and calcium Instead of entering a 3d orbital, the valence electrons of these elements enter the 4s orbital.
Exceptions to the conventional filling order:
1. d4 configurations generally do not exist
Chromium (Z = 24):Systematic prediction:
Cr: [Ar]4s23d4
But d4 is not likely,so promote an electron from the 4s sublevel:
Cr: [Ar]4s13d5
2. d9 configurations generally do not exist
Copper (Z = 29):Systematic prediction:
Cu: [Ar]4s23d9
But d9 is not likely,so promote an electron from the 4s sublevel:
