Atomic Structure

Atomic StructureAll matter is composed of atoms.Understanding the structure of atoms iscritical to understanding the propertiesof matter.properties of solid materials depend on the geometrical atomic arrangements, and the interactions between constituentatoms.

history of the atom460 BCDemocritus developed the idea of atoms

he pounded up materials in his pestle and mortar until he had reduced them to smaller and smaller particles which he calledATOMA (greek for indivisible)It took ~2400 years from when it was conceived to the time experimental evidence prove of the atom existence.3

history of the atom 1808John Daltonsuggested that all matter was made up of tiny spheres that were able to bounce around with perfect elasticity and called themATOMS 4

history of the atom1898Joseph John Thompson / Cambridge found that atoms could sometimes eject a far smaller negative particle which he called ELECTRON 1906 Nobel prize in Physics5History of the atom1910Ernest Rutherford / Cambridge student of Thompson

proposed a more detailed model with a central nucleus: positive charge was all in a central nucleus. With this holding the electrons in place by electrical attraction1908 Nobel prize in Chemistry61913Niels Bohr / Danish / a football fanatic

studied under Rutherford at the Victoria University in Manchester. Bohr refined Rutherford's idea by adding that the electrons were in orbits. Rather like planets orbiting the sun. With each orbit only able to contain a set number of electrons.History of the atom1922 Nobel prize in physics7Bohrs atom

Rutherfords model predicted a rainbow of colors rather than discrete lines obtained from an atomic line spectra.To explain the line spectra, Bohr proposed that electrons of specific energy moved in circular orbits around the nucleus and could not exist between these orbits.8Atomic StructureAtoms are composed of

protons positively charged particlesneutrons neutral particles

electrons negatively charged particles in orbitals surrounding the nucleus.nucleus

Atomic StructureEvery different atom has a characteristic number of protons in the nucleus.atomic number (Z) = number of protons For an electrically neutral atom, atomic number = number of electrons. Atoms with the same atomic number have the same chemical properties and belong to the same element.Atomic StructureZ ranges from 1 for hydrogen to 92 for uranium (the highest for the naturally occuring elements).

The atomic mass (A) of a specific atom: the sum of the number of protons and neutrons within the nucleus. mass number:A = Z + Nnumber of protons is the same for all atoms of a given element, number of neutrons (N) may be variable. Atomic StructureAtomic StructureThe number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z). Atomic Structure / isotopes

atoms of some elements have two or more different atomic masses, called isotopes. Atomic weight: Weighted average of the atomic masses of the atoms naturally occurring isotopes.Boron consists of the isotopes: 19.7% B-10 and 80.3% B-11.atomic mass A, B = (19.7 x 10)+(80.3 x 11)]/100= 10.8

Bromine isotopes: 50.5% Br-79 and 49.5% Br-81. atomic mass A, Br=[(50.5 x 79)+(49.5 x 81)]/100= 80.0

Atomic StructureIn one mole of a substance there are 6.022 x1023 (Avogadros number) atoms or molecules.Atomic weight = weight of 6.023 x 1023 atoms

For example, the atomic weight of iron is 55.85 amu/atom, or 55.85 g/mol. 1 amu/atom = 1g/mol = 1 daltonAtomic mass unit (amu): 112 of the atomic mass of the carbon C:12.011 / H:1.008 etc.Atomic Structuresubatomic particlesparticleMass (g)Charge (C/eV)Electron (e-)9.11x10-28-1.6x10-19-1Proton (p)1.67x10-24+1.6x10-19+1Neutron (n)1.67x10-2400Proton is 1837 times heavier than an electron.

electrons are assumed to revolve around the atomic nucleus in discrete orbitals, and the position of any particular electron is more or less well defined in terms of its orbital.

Electrons are permitted to have only specific values of energy.Bohr Atomic model

Bohr Atomic model

excitation vs relaxation

An electron may change energy by making a quantum jump either to an higher energy (with absorption of energy) or to a lower energy (with emission of energy). excitationrelaxationQuantum MechanicsUnfortunately, extremely small particles (electrons) do not follow the laws of classical (Newtonian) physics. The new physics that mathematically treats small particles is called Quantum Mechanics.

electron distributionwave-mechanical model an electron is no longer treated as a particle moving in a discrete orbital; electron is considered to exhibit both wavelike and particle-like characteristics.The position of an electron is described by a probability distribution // electron cloud.Quantum Mechanics

Wave behavior is described with the wave function , incorporating the wave and particle features of electrons (Erwin Schrdinger)

The probability of finding an electron in a certain area of space is proportional to 2 electron density.

Austrian; 1933 Nobel prize in physics

Quantum MechanicsHeisenbergs uncertainty principlemore precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be knownA macroscale analogy

High Shutter SpeedLow Shutter SpeedCan judge location,Can judge speed,but not speed.But not locationwe cannot precisely measure the momentum and the position of an electron at the same time. As the momentum of the electron is more and more certain, the position of the electron becomes less and less certain, and vice versa.

n = 2.5 cannot exist as a principal quantum number. There must be an integral number of wavelengths (n) in order for an electron to maintain a standing wave. If there were to be partial waves, the whole and partial waves would cancel each other out and the particle would not move. Heisenbergs uncertainty principleQuantum Mechanics

The Schrdinger equation specifies possible energy states an electron can occupy.

The energy states and wave functions are characterized by a set of quantum numbers.

Instead of orbits in the Bohr model, quantum numbers and wave functions describe atomic orbitals.

every electron in an atom is characterized by four quantum numbers. There are three quantum numbers necessary to describe an atomic orbital.The principal quantum number (n) designates sizeThe angular moment quantum number (l) describes shapeThe magnetic quantum number (ml) specifies orientationquantum numbersPrincipal Quantum Number (n)

designates the size of the orbital.Larger values of n correspond to larger orbitals.The allowed values of n are integers: 1, 2, 3 and so forth.A collection of orbitals with the same value of n is frequently called a shell.nKLMNOP.......123456Angular moment Quantum Number (l)

If you were to measure where the electron was within an s subshell many, many times and plot the results on a graph you would get something like this.Atomic orbitalsAtomic Orbitals

p orbitals: a dumbbell shape with electrons on either side of the nucleus in tear drop shaped lobes

Three orientations:l = 1 (as required for a p orbital)ml = 1, 0, +163Atomic Orbitals

The d orbitals:

Five orientations:l = 2 (as required for a d orbital)ml = 2, 1, 0, +1, +264d-orbitals are followed by the seven f-orbitals.

66Electron Spin Quantum Number (ms)

used to specify an electrons spin.

There are two possible directions of spin.

Allowed values of ms are + and .

67Pauli exclusion principleNo Two Electrons in an Atom Can Have the Same Four Quantum Numbers; the same values for n, l, ml, and ms.

Although the first three quantum numbers identify a specific orbital and may have the same values, the fourth is significant andmust have opposite spins.

a set of quantum numbers is specific to a certain electron.Quantum numbersAn electron with n = 2, = 1, ml=1, and ms=+1/2 is found in the same atom as a second electron with n=2, =1, and ml=1.

What is the spin quantum number for the second electron?

First electron: n = 1, = 1, ml = 1, ms = +1/2Second electron: n = 1, = 1, ml = 1, ms =?

Since the first three quantum numbers are identical for these two electrons, we know that they are in the same orbital. As a result, the spin quantum number for the second electron cannot be the same as the spin quantum number for the first electron. This means that the spin quantum number for the second electron must be ms=1/2.Quantum numbersAn electron with n = 5, = 4, ml=3, and ms=1/2 is found in the same atom as a second electron with n=5, =4, and ml=3.

What is the spin quantum number for the second electron?

Quantum numbersFirst electron: n = 5, = 4, ml = 3, ms = 1/2Second electron: n = 5, = 4, ml = 3, ms =?

Since the first three quantum numbers are identical for these two electrons, we know that they are in the same orbital. As a result, the spin quantum number for the second electron cannot be the same as the spin quantum number for the first electron. This means that the spin quantum number for the second electron must be ms=+1/2.Quantum numbersCan an electron with n = 1, = 0, ml = 0, and ms = +1/2 exist in the same atom as a second electron with n=2, =0, ml=0, and ms=+1/2?

Quantum numbersPauli exclusion principleFirst electron: n = 1, = 0, ml = 0, ms = +1/2Second electron: n = 2, = 0, ml = 0, ms = +1/2

Since these two electrons are in different orbitals, they occupy different regions of space within the atom.

As a result, their spin quantum numbers can be the same, and thus these two electrons can exist in the same atom.Atomic structureMaximum number of electrons in a subshell with l = 3 and n = 4 is

In multi-electron atoms, the energies of the atomic oorbitals are split.

occupation of the s and p states for the outermost shell by a total of eight electrons, in neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr); inert, or noble, gases, which are virtually unreactive chemically.Valence electronsunfilled valence shells assume stable electron configurations by gaining or losing electrons to form charged ions, or by sharing electrons with other atoms.

This is the basis for some chemical reactions, and also for atomic bonding in solidsValence electronsUnder special circumstances, the s and p orbitals combine to form hybrid spn orbitals, where n indicates the number of p orbitals involved, which may have a value of 1, 2, or 3. The IIIA, IVA, and VA group elements of the periodic table often form these hybrids. The driving force for the formation of hybrid orbitals is a lower energy state for the valence electrons. For carbon the sp3 hybrid is of primary importance in organic and polymer chemistries.Valence electronss- and p-orbitals

we must fill each shell with one electron each before starting to pair them up.

the charge of an electron is negative and electrons repel each other. An electron will try to create distance between itself and other electrons by staying unpaired. This further explains why the spins of electrons in an orbital are opposite (i.e. +1/2 and -1/2).s- and p-orbitals
