Electrons
“The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it looks.”
~Albert Einstein, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1921.
“Quantum mechanics: the dreams that stuff is made of.” ~unknown
“If quantum mechanics has not yet profoundly shocked you, you have not yet understood it.”
~Niels Bohr, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1922.
Where are electrons located?• Outside the nucleus
• How are they arranged?

Quantum Staircase
An electron in a stable orbit will have a specific, restricted (quantitized) energy:
Niels Bohr
Max Planck
• Stated that the object (metal) emits energy in small, specific amounts called Quanta.
• Quantum is the minimum quantity of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom.
• Step ladder analogy
Albert Einstein
Took Planck’s idea a little further.
He introduced that electromagnetic radiation has a dual wave-particle nature.Light exhibits many wavelike
propertiesCan also be thought of as a
stream of particles
• Two important concepts from Bohr:
• Electrons exist only in certain discrete energy levels
• Energy is involved in moving an electron from one level to another
• IN REALITY, ELECTRONS DO NOT ORBIT THE NUCLEUS LIKE PLANETS ORBITING A STAR!!!!
Bohr’s Model
• Electrons not really in “planetary” orbits
• Are really in areas of “probability” called “electron clouds”
• Quantum Model of electron placement
Quantum Mechanical Model
• This model determines the allowed energies an electron can have and how likely it is to find the electron in various locations around the nucleus
• Heisenburg’s Uncertainty Principle
– it is not possible to know both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time
– velocity = speed and direction
Orbital - 3 dimensional region around the nucleus where a particular electron can be located “clouds” - that show a region of
high probability of finding an electron
size and shape of “cloud” depends on energies of electrons that occupy them
Principal Energy LevelsPrincipal Energy Levels
Indicates main energy Indicates main energy level of an electron in an level of an electron in an atomatom

Sublevel
• Indicates the shape of an orbital
labeled s, p, d, f
s = spheres = spherep = dumbbell or figure-p = dumbbell or figure-
eighteightd = 4 lobesd = 4 lobesf = complicatedf = complicated
• Orbital shapes for Sc
• funky orbitals
Principal Energy Levels
Are divided into sublevels the number of sublevels allowed is equal
to the principal energy level (n) (up to n=4) PEL = 1 1 sublevel PEL = 2 2 sublevels PEL = 3 3 sublevels PEL = 4 4 sublevels

• Maximum of 2 e- in any orbital !
• They “spin” in opposite directions
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!
Don’t give up!
You can’t escape!

Rules for writing electron configurations
• Add one electron at a time according to these rules:
• 1. each added electron is placed in a sublevel of lowest energy available (Aufbau Process)
• 2. No more than 2 electrons can be placed in any orbital (Pauli Exclusion Principle)
• 3. Before a second electron can be placed in any orbital, all the orbitals of the sublevel must contain at least one electron (Hund’s Rule)
• 4. No more than 4 orbitals are occupied in the outermost principal energy level of any atom. (next electron must enter the next principal energy level)
NOW!!!!
• We will start writing electron configurations
•“Regular” and
• “Exceptions”
Atoms absorb a SPECIFIC amount of Atoms absorb a SPECIFIC amount of energy – quantaenergy – quanta
Electrons “jump” up into energy Electrons “jump” up into energy levels where they really don’t belonglevels where they really don’t belong
Immediately drop back and release Immediately drop back and release that specific amount of energy in the that specific amount of energy in the form of light of specific wavelength form of light of specific wavelength and frequency (color)and frequency (color)

Ground state - Ground state - atom where the atom where the electrons are in the electrons are in the lowest available lowest available energy levelsenergy levels
excited state - excited state - atom has electrons atom has electrons that have that have “jumped” to higher “jumped” to higher energy levelsenergy levels
•Can identify elements by the colors they produce
•FIREWORKS!!!•Flame tests – lab we will do
