Bohr described atoms as being like solar system.The electrons orbiting around the nucleus.
Schrodinger described atomic model with
electrons in three dimensions.
He described where electrons could be found interms of three coordinates:
Prinicpal quantum number – n ngular quantum number – l
!agnetic quantum number " m

Principal #uantum number – n
$escribes the energy le%el within the atom& i.e.the shell number – '& (& )& etc
ngular *momentum+ quantum number " l $escribes the suble%el in the principal quantum
number
Suble%els in the atoms are s, p, d, f • ,or s suble%el l = 0

p has three orbitals – m - "'& & /' d has fi%e orbitals – m - "(& "'& & /'& /(
The fourth quantum number is the one known asthe Spin #uantum number
This describes the spin of the electron
0lectrons in the same orbital must ha%e opposite
Possible spins are clockwise and anticlockwise

2rbital Shapes
n atomic orbital can be thought of as a picturethat would be obtained if we photograph wherethe electron has been at different times
i.e. if we would plot the probability of finding anelectron at a particular distance from thenucleus in three dimensions
6t is a sort of a cloud around the nucleus
2rbitals are ) dimensional structures withcomplicated features

Blocks in the Periodic Table
• The periodic table is di%ided into blocks
– s block: ha%e %alence configuration of s' or s(
– p block: has %alence configuration of s( p' to s( p7
– d block elements ha%e %alence configuration inwhich d subshells are being filled
• 8hemically& elements in the same block show
same general characteristics• e.g. s block elements are all metals with low
electronegati%ity

• P block elements are mi4ed – with some metalson the left& and non"metals on the right
• Between the metals and non"metals found in
the p block are the semi"metals *metalloids+• The d block elements are the transition metals
