Physics and the Quantum Mechanical Model

Neon advertising signs are formed from glass tubes bent in various shapes. An electric current passing through the gas in each glass tube makes the gas glow with its own characteristic color. You will learn why each gas glows with a specific color of light.

Light

LightHow are the wavelength and frequency of light related?

5.3

Page 4: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Light

The amplitude of a wave is the wave’s height from zero to the crest.

The wavelength, represented by (the Greek letter lambda), is the distance between the crests.

5.3

Page 5: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Light

The frequency, represented by (the Greek letter nu), is the number of wave cycles to pass a given point per unit of time.

The SI unit of cycles per second is called a hertz (Hz).

5.3

Page 6: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

LightThe wavelength and frequency of light are inversely proportional to each other.

5.3

Page 7: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Light

The product of the frequency and wavelength always equals a constant (c), the speed of light.

5.3

Page 8: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Light

According to the wave model, light consists of electromagnetic waves.Electromagnetic radiation

includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at a speed of 2.998 108 m/s.

5.3

Page 9: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Light

Sunlight consists of light with a continuous range of wavelengths and frequencies. When sunlight passes

through a prism, the different frequencies separate into a spectrum of colors.

In the visible spectrum, red light has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency.

5.3

Page 10: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The electromagnetic spectrum consists of radiation over a broad band of wavelengths.

Atomic Spectra

Atomic SpectraWhat causes atomic emission spectra?

5.3

Page 17: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Atomic Spectra

When atoms absorb energy, electrons move into higher energy levels. These electrons then lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.

5.3

Page 18: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

A prism separates light into the colors it contains. When white light passes through a prism, it produces a rainbow of colors.

5.3

Page 19: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

When light from a helium lamp passes through a prism, discrete lines are produced.

5.3

Page 20: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The frequencies of light emitted by an element separate into discrete lines to give the atomic emission spectrum of the element.

Page 21: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

An Explanation of Atomic Spectra

An Explanation of Atomic SpectraHow are the frequencies of light an atom emits related to changes of electron energies?

5.3

Page 22: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

An Explanation of Atomic Spectra In the Bohr model, the lone electron in

the hydrogen atom can have only certain specific energies.When the electron has its lowest

possible energy, the atom is in its ground state.

Excitation of the electron by absorbing energy raises the atom from the ground state to an excited state.

A quantum of energy in the form of light is emitted when the electron drops back to a lower energy level.

5.3

Page 23: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

An Explanation of Atomic Spectra

The light emitted by an electron moving from a higher to a lower energy level has a frequency directly proportional to the energy change of the electron.

5.3

Page 24: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The three groups of lines in the hydrogen spectrum correspond to the transition of electrons from higher energy levels to lower energy levels.

5.3

Page 25: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Quantum Mechanics

Quantum MechanicsHow does quantum mechanics differ from classical mechanics?

5.3

Page 26: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Quantum Mechanics

In 1905, Albert Einstein successfully explained experimental data by proposing that light could be described as quanta of energy.The quanta behave as if they

were particles.Light quanta are called photons.

In 1924, De Broglie developed an equation that predicts that all moving objects have wavelike behavior.

5.3

Page 27: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Quantum Mechanics Today, the wavelike properties of beams of electrons

are useful in magnifying objects. The electrons in an electron microscope have much smaller wavelengths than visible light. This allows a much clearer enlarged image of a very small object, such as this mite.

5.3

Page 28: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Quantum Mechanics

Classical mechanics adequately describes the motions of bodies much larger than atoms, while quantum mechanics describes the motions of subatomic particles and atoms as waves.

5.3

Page 29: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Quantum Mechanics

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to know exactly both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time.This limitation is critical in dealing

with small particles such as electrons.

This limitation does not matter for ordinary-sized object such as cars or airplanes.

Models of the Atom

The scale model shown is a physical model. However, not all models are physical. In fact, several theoretical models of the atom have been developed over the last few hundred years. You will learn about the currently accepted model of how electrons behave in atoms.

The Development of Atomic Models

The Development of Atomic ModelsWhat was inadequate about Rutherford’s atomic model?

5.1

Page 33: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Development of Atomic Models

Rutherford’s atomic model could not explain the chemical properties of elements. Rutherford’s atomic model could not

explain why objects change color when heated.

Page 34: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Development of Atomic Models

The timeline shoes the development of atomic models from 1803 to 1911.

5.1

Page 35: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Development of Atomic Models

The timeline shows the development of atomic models from 1913 to 1932.

5.1

Page 36: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Bohr Model

The Bohr ModelWhat was the new proposal in the Bohr model of the atom?

5.1

Page 37: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Bohr Model

Bohr proposed that an electron is found only in specific circular paths, or orbits, around the nucleus.

5.1

Page 38: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Bohr Model

Each possible electron orbit in Bohr’s model has a fixed energy.The fixed energies an electron

can have are called energy levels.

A quantum of energy is the amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another energy level.

5.1

Page 39: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Like the rungs of the strange ladder, the energy levels in an atom are not equally spaced.

The higher the energy level occupied by an electron, the less energy it takes to move from that energy level to the next higher energy level.

5.1

Page 40: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Quantum Mechanical Model

The Quantum Mechanical ModelWhat does the quantum mechanical model determine about the electrons in an atom?

5.1

Page 41: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Quantum Mechanical Model

The quantum mechanical model determines the allowed energies an electron can have and how likely it is to find the electron in various locations around the nucleus.

5.1

Page 42: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Quantum Mechanical Model

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961) used new theoretical calculations and results to devise and solve a mathematical equation describing the behavior of the electron in a hydrogen atom.

The modern description of the electrons in atoms, the quantum mechanical model, comes from the mathematical solutions to the Schrödinger equation.

5.1

Page 43: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Quantum Mechanical Model

The propeller blade has the same probability of being anywhere in the blurry region, but you cannot tell its location at any instant. The electron cloud of an atom can be compared to a spinning airplane propeller.

5.1

Page 44: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Quantum Mechanical Model

In the quantum mechanical model, the probability of finding an electron within a certain volume of space surrounding the nucleus can be represented as a fuzzy cloud. The cloud is more dense where the probability of finding the electron is high.

5.1

Page 45: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Atomic Orbitals

Atomic OrbitalsHow do sublevels of principal energy levels differ?

5.1

Page 46: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Atomic Orbitals

An atomic orbital is often thought of as a region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron.Each energy sublevel

corresponds to an orbital of a different shape, which describes where the electron is likely to be found.

5.1

Page 47: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Atomic Orbitals

Different atomic orbitals are denoted by letters. The s orbitals are spherical, and p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped.

5.1

Page 48: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Atomic Orbitals

Four of the five d orbitals have the same shape but different orientations in space.

5.1

Page 49: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The numbers and kinds of atomic orbitals depend on the energy sublevel.

Electron Arrangement in Atoms

If this rock were to tumble over, it would end up at a lower height. It would have less energy than before, but its position would be more stable. You will learn that energy and stability play an important role in determining how electrons are configured in an atom.

5.2

Page 52: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Electron Configurations

Electron ConfigurationsWhat are the three rules for writing the electron configurations of elements?

5.2

Page 53: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Electron Configurations

The ways in which electrons are arranged in various orbitals around the nuclei of atoms are called electron configurations.Three rules—the aufbau

principle, the Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund’s rule—tell you how to find the electron configurations of atoms.

5.2

Page 54: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Aufbau PrincipleAccording to the aufbau principle, electrons

occupy the orbitals of lowest energy first. In the aufbau diagram below, each box represents an atomic orbital.

5.2

Page 55: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Electron Configurations

Pauli Exclusion PrincipleAccording 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; that is, the electron spins must be paired.

5.2

Page 56: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Electron Configurations

Hund’s RuleHund’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.

Page 62: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Exceptional Electron Configurations

Exceptional Electron ConfigurationsWhy do actual electron configurations for some elements differ from those assigned using the aufbau principle?

5.2

Page 63: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Exceptional Electron Configurations

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.

5.2

Page 64: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

Exceptional Electron ConfigurationsExceptions 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.

The Octet Rule

The Octet RuleAtoms of which elements tend to gain electrons? Atoms of which elements tend to lose electrons?

7.1

Page 145: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Octet Rule

Noble gases, such as neon and argon, are unreactive in chemical reactions. In 1916, chemist Gilbert Lewis used this fact to explain why atoms form certain kinds of ions and molecules.

He called his explanation the octet rule: In forming compounds, atoms tend to achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas.

7.1

Page 146: Chemistry Unit 2 PPT

The Octet Rule

Atoms of metals tend to lose their valence electrons, leaving a complete octet in the next-lowest energy level. Atoms of some non-metals tend to gain electrons or to share electrons with another nonmetal to achieve a complete octet.
