Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom
Progression of Atomic Theory
Bohr Model
• Energy levels
• 1st energy level can hold 2
• 2nd energy level can hold 8
• 3rd energy level can hold 8
• Bohr Model Breaks down after 3rd energy level and no longer applies to Modern Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom
Bohr Model for Hydrogen• Energy level of an electron
• analogous to the rungs of a ladder
• The electron cannot exist between energy levels, just like you can’t stand between rungs on a ladder
• A quantum of energy is the amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another
• The Bohr model explained the emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom but did not always explain those of other elements.
The Quantum Mechanical Model• In 1926, Erwin Schrodinger
derived an equation with 4quantum numbers that described the energy and position of the electrons in an atom
• The 4 quantum numbers are used in the electron configuration which is a notation using energy levels and sublevels to show how the electrons are distributed within the atom.

Energy Levels and Sublevels• The first energy level has only one type of orbital
(sublevel)– S
• The second energy level has 2 types of orbitals– S and P
• The third energy level has three types of orbitals– S, P and D
• The fourth energy level has four types of orbitals– S, P, D and F
• Successive energy levels follow the same pattern. • Relative energy: s < p < d < f

Pauli Exclusion Principle• no two e- in an atom can have the same four
quantum numbers.
• each electron needs its own space.
• Result – an orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons with opposite spin
Fourth Quantum number is the Spin

Electron Configuration on the Periodic Table
• The elements in the same family groups on the periodic table have similar physical and chemical properties
• The elements in the same family groups also tend to form similar types of compounds with other elements
• This is because the elements in the same family groups have the same number of electrons in the outer energy level
