• For waves traveling at the same velocity, the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency.– Wavelength: It is the distance
between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave.
– Frequency: It indicates how many waves pass a given point per second.
– Speed: It indicates how fast a given peak is moving through the space.
– Speed of light ,c=ln ,where l=wave length and n =frequency
l is Greek letter lambda n is Greek letter nu
EMRElectromagnetic Radiation:
Electromagnetic radiation is one of the ways in which energy travels through space. All forms of EMR compose the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which includes sun rays, microwaves, X- rays, visible spectrum, UV rays and IR rays.
• Some characteristics of EMR are:• All electromagnetic radiation
moves at a constant speed of about 3.0 X 108 m/s.
• All EMR exhibit wave like behavior. Waves have three primary characteristics:– Wavelength: It is the distance
between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave.
– Frequency: It indicates how many waves pass a given point per second.
– Speed: It indicates how fast a given peak is moving through the space.
– Speed of light ,c=ln ,where l=wave length and n =frequency
• The wave nature of light does not explain how an object can glow when its temperature increases.
• Max Planck explained it by assuming that energy comes in packets called quanta.
Planck’s Theory of Quantization of Energy• To explain this, Planck
suggested that the energy transfer or exchange is not a continuous process, but is done in small packets of energy called by him as quantum.(Word quantum means fixed amount.) So, he introduced the concept of quantization of energy.
• According to Planck’s theory, E= hv, where
E= energy of radiation h= Planck’s constant v= frequency of radiation
• Planck’s theory: Before Planck’s theory, the wave model of the light was widely accepted. But it was unable to explain some phenomenon for example change in the radiation (wave length) emitted by an object with the change in temperature.
h = 6.626 x 10-34 J s∙
Quantization of Energy: Max Plank• Where else do you
see quantization in real life?
Therefore, if one knows the wavelength of light, one can calculate the energy in one photon, or packet, of that light:
The Nature of Energy• Einstein used this assumption
to explain the photoelectric effect.
• He concluded that electromagnetic radiation has a dual wave-particle nature
Photoelectric Effect: It refers to the emission of electrons from a metal, when the light shines on the metal. For each metal the frequency of
light needed to release the electrons is different. But the wave theory of light could not explain it. The photoelectric effect led scientists to think
about the dual nature of light i.e. as a wave and a particle both.
• A photon is a particle of emr having zero rest mass and carrying a quantum of energy• Emr is absorbed onl in whole numbers of photons, thus electrons in different metals require different minimum frequencies to exhibit the photoelectric effect
Bohr Model Of the Hydrogen Atom• Ephoton=hv The energy levels of Hydrogen
( As explained by Bohr’s Model) :
•An excited atom (excited state) can release some or all of its excess energy by emitting a photon, thus moving to a lower energy state.•The lowest possible energy state of an atom is called the ‘ground state’.•Different wavelengths of light carry different amount of energy per photon. Ex. A beam of red light has a lower energy photons than beam of blue light.
• Niels Bohr adopted Planck’s assumption and explained these phenomena in this way:
3. Energy is only absorbed or emitted in such a way as to move an electron from one “allowed” energy state to another; the energy is defined by
E = h
Light Equations
• c= l n• c is the speed of light (3.0 x 108 m/s)• lambda is the wave length (in m, cm, or nm)• n represents the frequency (waves/s or hertz)• http://www.astronomynotes.com/light/s3.htm
• E=h n• E is energy (in joules)• h is Planck’s Constant (h= 6.626 x 10-34J s)• n is frequency• E=h(c/ l)
• Louis deBroglie• Based on the photoelectric effect
concept of light behaving as both a wave and a particle, deBroglie applied this to electrons, or quantized energies of Bohr’s orbits
• Through experimentation, deBroglie showed the wavelike property of electrons through diffraction (bending of a wave) and interference (waves overlap resulting in higher or lower energy)
• Werner Heisenberg• Electrons are detected by their
interactions with photons. Because photons have about the same energy as electrons, any attempt to locate a specific electron with a photon knocks the electron off its course. Therefore,
the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
• States that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle.
Quantum Theory: Describes mathematically the wave properties of electrons or other very small particles treating e- as waves and using Heisenberg’s and De Broglie’s principles.

Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom (Schrodinger’s Model)Erwin Schrödinger, in developing a quantum-mechanical model for the atom, began with a classical equation for the properties of waves. He modified this equation to take into account the mass of a particle and the de Broglie relationship between mass and wavelength. The important consequences of the quantum-mechanical view of atoms are the following: (http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/chemistry/Generalchemistry/Atomic/Electronicstructure/Electronicstructures/Quantum/Quantum.htm-)
1. The energy of electrons in atoms is quantized.2. The number of possible energy levels for electrons in atoms of
different elements is a direct consequence of wave-like properties of electrons.
3. The position and momentum of an electron cannot both be determined simultaneously.
4. The region in space around the nucleus in which an electron is most probably located is what can be predicted for each electron in an atom. Electrons of different energies are likely to be found in different regions. The region in which an electron with a specific energy will most probably be located is called an atomic orbital.
• The wave equation is designated with a lower case Greek psi ().
• The square of the wave equation, 2, gives a probability density map of where an electron has a certain statistical likelihood of being at any given instant in time.
Quantum Numbers• Schrodinger arrived at three functions while solving the
wave equation for electrons and came up with three quantum numbers, each corresponding to a property of atomic orbital. The fourth quantum number was later introduced to clarify the spin of electrons. use(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=wave+mechanical+model)
• Solving the wave equation gives a set of wave functions, or orbitals, and their corresponding energies.
• Each orbital describes a spatial distribution of electron density.
• An orbital is described by a set of three quantum numbers.
Observing a graph of probabilities of finding an electron versus distance from the nucleus, we see that s orbitals possess n−1 nodes, or regions where there is 0 probability of finding an electron.
• No two electrons in the same atom can have exactly the same energy.
• Therefore, no two electrons in the same atom can have identical sets of quantum numbers.
Electron Configurations5.2
According to the aufbau principle, electrons occupy the orbitals of lowest energy first.
According to the Pauli exclusion principle, an atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons. To occupy the same orbital, two electrons must have opposite spins
Hund’s rule states that electrons occupy orbitals of the same energy in a way that makes the number of electrons with the same spin direction as large as possible.
• This occurs because the 4s and 3d orbitals are very close in energy.
• These anomalies occur in f-block atoms, as well.
Exceptional Electron ConfigurationsWhy do actual electron configurations for some
elements differ from those assigned using the aufbau principle?
– Some actual electron configurations differ from those assigned using the aufbau principle because half-filled sublevels are not as stable as filled sublevels, but they are more stable than other configurations.
– Exceptions to the aufbau principle are due to subtle electron-electron interactions in orbitals with very similar energies.
– Copper has an electron configuration that is an exception to the aufbau principle.

Electron Configuration Theories• Aufbau’s Principle: An
electron occupies the lowest-energy orbital that can receive it.
• Pauli’s Exclusion Principle: No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
• Hund’s Rule: Orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one electron before any orbital is occupied by a second electron, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals must have the same spin.
