Electromagnetic Radiation
Frequency tells how many waves pass a particular point per second.
Speed tells how fast a wave moves through space.
Figure 10.1 The wavelength of this wave is shown by λ. It can be measured from peak to peak or trough to trough.

Bohr Model (1912-1913)
Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed that electrons in an atom are organized into discrete energy levels.
He pictured the negative electrons in orbits around the positive nucleus.
His evidence: the line spectra of the elements.

Line Spectrum
Atoms absorb energy to give off light..
Prisms or diffraction gratings separate the light into a line spectrum for the element.

Bohr Model
Was based on electrons having fixed energy levels and therefore quantized amounts of energy.
Accounted for spectral lines.
Worked very well for hydrogen but did not work well for heavier atoms.
Another model is needed that describes the behavior of electrons as waves.
Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc 10-12
The Wave-Mechanical Model
This mathematical model of the atom describes the energy of the electron with some certainty, but the actual location of the electron is uncertain.
An orbital is …
the region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron with a given energy.

Review Question 1
Energy Levels of Electrons
Electrons in atoms are organized into discrete principal energy levels (n, where n is an integer).
Lowest energy level is n = 1, then n = 2, etc.
As n increases, the energy of the electron increases, and the electron is on average further from the nucleus.
Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc 10-14
Sublevels
Energy levels are subdivided into
sublevels. Each sublevel has
orbitals.
Orbital are designated by
s, p, d and f.
n = 1 has the sublevel 1s.
n = 2 has the sublevels 2s and 2p.
Each sublevel is made up of orbitals of the same type and energy.
10-15
Review Question 7: What letters are used to designate the types of orbitals?
Electron Spin
Each electron in an atom appears to be spinning on its axis.
Pauli exclusion principle states that an atomic orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, which must have opposite spin.
What is the maximum number of electrons in any orbital?
2
Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc 10-16
Review Question 2: What conditions allow a 2nd electron to enter an orbital
s Sublevels
Every principal energy level has an s sublevel that contains a single s orbital which is farther away. (1s, 2s, 3s, etc.)
There is a 90% probability of finding the electron within a spherical region surrounding the nucleus.
Each s orbital is the same shape and holds 2 electrons with opposite spin.
Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc 10-17
Review Question 6: How do 1s and 2s differ?
Review Question 6: How are 1s and 2s alike?
p Sublevels
Every principal energy level starting at n = 2 has a p sublevel (2p, 3p, etc.) that contains 3 equal energy p orbitals. The orbitals only differ by their orientation in 3-D space.
Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc 10-18
Your Turn!

a. 2
b. 4
c. 6
d. 8
Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc 10-19
A 2p sublevel holds 6 electrons, 2 electrons per orbital.
The maximum number of electrons in ANY orbital is 2.
d Sublevels
Every principal energy level starting at n = 3 has a d sublevel (3d, 4d, etc.) that contains 5 equal energy d orbitals. These orbitals have more complex shapes and are higher in energy than the s and p orbitals.
Copyright 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc 10-20

a. 2
b. 4
c. 6
d. 10

Review Question 9
Review Question 10: Difference between orbital and Bohr orbit?
Rules for Distributing Electrons
1. No more than two electrons can occupy one orbital.
2. Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals available. s < p < d < f for a given value of n
3. Each orbital in a sublevel is occupied by a single electron before a second electron enters. (Hunds Rule)

Remember to sum the superscripts in the electron configuration. They should add up to the atomic number for the element.
Valence Electrons
The valence electrons …
include all of the electrons in the highest principal quantum number (the outermost energy level).
These electrons are the electrons that are involved in bonding.
