  1. Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms

  2. Greek Idea • Democritus and Leucippus • Matter is made up of indivisible particles • Dalton - one type of atom for each element

  3. Thomson’s Model • Discovered electrons • Atoms were made of positive stuff • Negative electron floating around • “Plum-Pudding” model

  4. Rutherford’s Model • Discovered dense positive piece at the center of the atom • Nucleus • Electrons moved around • Mostly empty space

  5. Bohr’s Model • Why don’t the electrons fall into the nucleus? • Move like planets around the sun. • In circular orbits at different levels. • Amounts of energy separate one level from another.

  6. Bohr’s Model Nucleus Electron Orbit Energy Levels

  7. Bohr’s Model } • Further away from the nucleus means more energy. • There is no “in between” energy • Energy Levels Fifth Fourth Third Increasing energy Second First Nucleus

  8. Light • The study of light led to the development of the quantum mechanical model. • Light is a kind of electromagnetic radiation. • Electromagnetic radiation includes many kinds of waves • All move at 3.00 x 108 m/s ( c)

  9. Crest Wavelength Amplitude Trough Parts of a Wave Origin

  10. Parts of Wave • Origin - the base line of the energy. • Crest - highest point on a wave • Trough - Low point on a wave • Amplitude - distance from origin to crest • Wavelength - distance from crest to crest • Wavelength - is abbreviated l Greek letter lambda.

  11. Frequency • The number of waves that pass a given point per second. • Units are cycles/sec or hertz (hz) • Abbreviated n the Greek letter nu c = ln

  12. Wavelength and Frequency

  13. Frequency and Wavelength • Are inversely related • As one goes up the other goes down. • Different frequencies of light is different colors of light. • There is a wide variety of frequencies • The whole range is called a spectrum • Movie Flame Test

  14. High energy Low energy Low Frequency High Frequency X-Rays Radiowaves Microwaves Ultra-violet GammaRays Infrared . Long Wavelength Short Wavelength Visible Light

  15. Aurora Borealis • Energy entering the earth’s atmosphere causes gas atom electrons to become excited. When they fall to the ground state they give of photons of light. • Movie Aurora

  16. Atomic Spectrum How color tells us about atoms

  17. Prism • White light is made up of all the colors of the visible spectrum. • Passing it through a prism separates it.

  18. If the light is not white • By heating a gas with electricity we can get it to give off colors. • Passing this light through a prism does something different.

  19. Atomic Spectrum • Each element gives off its own characteristic colors. • Can be used to identify the atom. • How we know what stars are made of. • Movie Emission Spectrum

  20. Atomic Emission Spectrum

  21. These are called discontinuous spectra • Or line spectra • unique to each element. • These are emission spectra • The light is emitted given off.

  22. Light is a Particle • Energy is quantized. • Light is energy • Light must be quantized • These smallest pieces of light are called photons. • Energy and frequency are directly related.

  23. Energy and Frequency • E = hn • E is the energy of the photon • nis the frequency • h is Planck’s constant • h = 6.6262 x 10 -34 Joules sec. • joule is the metric unit of Energy

  24. The Math in Chapter 5 • Only 2 equations • c = ln • E = h n • Plug and chug.

  25. Examples • What is the wavelength of blue light with a frequency of 8.3 x 1015 hz? • What is the frequency of red light with a wavelength of 4.2 x 10-5 m? • What is the energy of a photon of each of the above? Given h = 6.6262 x 10 -34 Joules sec and the Speed of light equals 3.00 x 108 m/s ( c)

  26. An Explanation of Atomic Spectra

  27. Where the Electron Starts • When we write electron configurations we are writing the lowest energy. • The energy level where an electron starts from is called its ground state. • Movie Energy Levels

  28. Changing the Energy • Let’s look at a hydrogen atom

  29. Changing the Energy • Heat or electricity or light can move the electron up energy levels

  30. Changing the Energy • As the electron falls back to ground state it gives the energy back as light

  31. Changing the Energy • May fall down in steps • Each with a different energy

  32. { { {

  33. Further they fall, more energy, higher frequency. • This is simplified • The orbitals also have different energies inside energy levels. • All the electrons can move around. Ultraviolet Visible Infrared

  34. What Makes These Glow?

  35. What is light • Light is a particle - it comes in chunks. • Light is a wave- we can measure its wave length and it behaves as a wave • If we combine E=mc2 , c= nl, E = 1/2 mv2 and E = hn • We can get De Broglie’s equation l = h/mv • The wavelength of a particle.

  36. Matter is a Wave • Does not apply to large objects • Things bigger than an atom • A baseball has a wavelength of about 1x10-32 m when moving 30 m/s • An electron at the same speed has a wavelength of 1x10-3 cm • Big enough to measure.

  37. The Physics of the Very Small • Quantum mechanics explains how the very small behaves. • Classic physics is what you get when you add up the effects of millions of packages. • Quantum mechanics is based on probability because

  38. Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle • It is impossible to know exactly the location and velocity of a particle. • The better we know one, the less we know the other. • The act of measuring changes the properties.

  39. Measuring an Electron • To measure where an electron is, we use light • But the light moves the electron • And hitting the electron changes the frequency of the light

  40. After Before Photon Changes Wavelength Photon Electron Changes Velocity Moving Electron

  41. The Quantum Mechanical Model • Remember energy is quantized and comes in chunks. • A quanta is the amount of energy needed to move from one energy level to another. • Since the energy of an atom is never “in between” there must be a quantum leap in energy. • Schrodinger derived an equation that described the energy and position of the electrons in an atom.

  42. Atoms Are Never “In Between” Levels

  43. The Quantum Mechanical Model • Things that are very small behave differently from things big enough to see. • The quantum mechanical model is a mathematical solution • It is not like anything you can see.

  44. The Quantum Mechanical Model • Has energy levels for electrons. • Orbits are not circular. • It can only tell us the probability of finding an electron a certain distance from the nucleus.

  45. The Quantum Mechanical Model • The atom is found inside a blurry “electron cloud” • An area where there is a chance of finding an electron. • Can be divided into smaller regions in the electron cloud.

  46. Atomic Orbitals • Principle Quantum Number (n) = the energy level of the electron • Within each energy level the complex math of Schrodinger’s equation describes several geometric shapes. • The group shape is called the sublevel s,p,d,f • Individual shapes are the electron orbitals • The orbitals represent regions where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

  47. Sublevels and Energy Levels

  48. s Sublevel • 1 s orbital is found on every energy level • Spherical shaped • Each s orbital can hold 2 electrons • Called the 1s, 2s, 3s, etc.. orbitals. The 1,2 and 3 designate the energy levels.
