www.olympusmicro.com Electromagnetic Radiation (or Radiant Energy) is the primary vehicle for energy transport through the universe. • Amplitude (Energy) • Wavelength (m) • Frequency (Hertz, Hz) Different wavelengths and frequencies are fundamentally similar because they all travel at the speed of light (300,000 kilometers per second or 186,000 miles per second).
Electromagnetic Energy Photons are quantized (or bundles of) wave energy
Wave-Particle Duality Light and matter exhibit properties of particles and waves - Key concept in Quantum Mechanics Wave-particle duality explains that light and matter can exhibit both properties! Brief History Mid 1600’s: Huygens - light consisted of waves Late 1600’s: Newton - light composed of particles Early 1800’s: Young & Fresnel - double slit experiment Late 1800’s: Maxwell - light as electromagnetic waves 1905: Einstein - the photoelectric effect 1924: deBroglie - matter has wave properties 1927: Davisson-Germer experiment

Behavior of Light • Light traveling through a uniform medium (air or vacuum) under normal circumstances propagates in straight lines until it interactions with another medium. • A change in the path of light can be caused by • Refraction (bending) • Reflection
Refraction Bending or changing the direction of light Light travels from one substance or medium to another www.ninadartworks.com http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/geoopt/refr2.html
Refraction The “bending power” of a medium is called the refractive index, n The refractive index is a ratio between the speed of light in vacuum and the speed of light in a medium.
Incident Light medium a, ni medium b, nr Refracted Light Refraction Hyperlink Snell’s Law
Reflection Light, traveling in one medium, meets an interface and is directed back into the original medium.

History of Elements It was once thought that earth, wind, fire and water were the basic elements that made up all matter Around 492-432 BC, the Greek Empedocle divided matter into four elements, called "roots": earth, air, fire and water Elements like gold, silver, tin, copper, lead, and mercury have been known since ancient times Mendeleev’s periodic table (1869) • Classified and sorted elements based on common chemical properties • The elements were arranged in order of atomic number • 62 known elements • Space for 20 elements that were not yet discovered They call me the “father” of the periodic table… Dmitri Mendeleev
Periodic Table of Elements American Heritage Dictionary
What is an atom? The atom is the basic building block of chemistry. • Smallest unit into which matter can be divided without the release of electrically charged particles. • The smallest unit of matter that has the characteristic properties of a chemical element. • “atom” termed by Leucippe of Milet in 420 BC from the greek "a-tomos" meaning "indivisible” Atom is the smallest unit of an element • Nucleus: small, central unit containing neutrons and protons • Proton: positively charged particle • Neutron: uncharged particle • Electron: negatively charged particle http://members.aol.com/dcaronejr/ezmed/atom.jpg
Anatomy of an Atom Nucleus • Made up of Protons and Neutrons • Majority of an atom's mass (99.9%) • Very small compared to the size of the entire atom • Proton • Greek for “first” • Positively charged particle • Every atom of a particular element contains the same, unique number of protons. • Neutron • Neutral, or no electrical charge. http://members.aol.com/dcaronejr/ezmed/atom.jpg Electron • Coined in 1894, derived from the term electric, whose ultimate origin is from the Greek word meaning “amber” • Negatively charged particles that orbit around the outside of the nucleus. • The sharing or exchange of electrons between atoms forms chemical bonds, which is how new molecules and compounds are formed.
Atomic Configurations Atoms are normally happy when they’re neutral • A neutral atom has a number of electrons equal to its number of protons • Atoms can have different numbers of neutrons, as long as the number of protons stay the same Ions – An atom that has an electric charge because of an unequal number of electrons and protons (ionization) Isotopes – An atom with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons
History of Atomic Models In 1897, the English physicist Joseph John Thomson discovered the electron and proposed a model for the structure of the atom, called the Plum Pudding Atomic Model. http://www.broadeducation.com/htmlDemos/AbsorbChem/HistoryAtom/page.htm http://nbsp.sonoma.edu/resources/teachers_materials/physical_03
History of Atomic Models In 1911, Ernest Rutherford fired alpha particles at gold foil and observing the particle scattering. From the results, he concluded the atom was mostly empty space, with a large dense body at the center (nucleus), and electrons which orbited the nucleus like planets orbit the Sun. Ernest Rutherford http://www.broadeducation.com/htmlDemos/AbsorbChem/HistoryAtom/page.htm In 1919, Rutherford discovered the nucleus was made up of positively charged particles he called protons (Greek for “first”). He also found the proton mass was 1,836x that of electrons. http://nbsp.sonoma.edu/resources/teachers_materials/physical_03
History of Atomic Models • Rutherford’s planetary model didn’t explain how the atom would remain stable with electron-proton attraction. • In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model in which the electrons would stably occupy fixed orbits dependent on certain discrete value of energy, or quanta. This means that only certain orbits with certain radii are allowed; orbits in between simply don't exist. Niels Bohr Bohr Model (Planetary) Quantum number - Energy levels labeled by an integer n Ground state, the lowest energy state (n=1). Successive states of energy The first excited state, (n=2) The second excited state, (n=3) and so on… Beyond an energy called the ionization potential the single electron of atom is no longer bound to the atom.
Improvements to Bohr’s Model • In the Bohr model, only the size of the orbit was important. But it didn’t answer all questions and experimental observations. This led to the most current atomic model, the Quantum Model Quantum Model • Electrons in the electron shells are in an orbital cloud of probability, not fixed planetary orbits • Each electron orbital has a different shape • No two electrons can exist in the same orbital unless they have opposite spins • The 3-D atomic state is described by 4 quantum numbers: Principle, Azimuthal, Magnetic, Spin
3-D Atomic State The principal quantum number, n, describes the size and relative overall energy and average distance of an orbital from the nucleus. • Atomic orbitals with n=1 are in the “K”-shell • Atomic orbitals with n=2 are in the “L”-shell • Atomic orbitals with n=3 are in the “M”-shell • Atomic orbitals with n=4 are in the “N”-shell The azimuthal (or orbital angular momentum) quantum number, l, describes the orbital shape and amount of angular momentum directed toward the origin.
3-D Atomic State The magnetic quantum number, m, determines the energy shift of an orbital due to an external magnetic field. The spin quantum number, s, is an intrinsic electron property (…think of the rotation of the earth on its axis…). - this allows 2 electrons to be in the same orbital -1/2 or +1/2 http://www.chemistry.uvic.ca/chem222/Notes/nimages/spin.gif
