Quantum Numbers - I • 1) Principal Quantum Number = n • Also called the “energy “ quantum number, indicates the approximate distance from the nucleus . • Denotes the electron energy shells around the atom, and is derived directly from the Schrodinger equation. • The higher the value of “n” , the greater the energy of the orbital, and hence the energy of electrons in that orbital. • Positive integer values of n = 1 , 2 , 3 , etc.
1 n12 1 n22 1 2 2 1 4 2 Using the Rydberg Equation Problem: Find the energy change when an electron changes from the n=4 level to the n=2 level in the hydrogen atom? What is the wavelength of this photon? Plan: Use the Rydberg equation to calculate the energy change, then calculate the wavelength using the relationship of the speed of light. Solution: Ephoton = -2.18 x10 -18J - = Ephoton = -2.18 x 10 -18J - = - 4.09 x 10 -19J h x c E (6.626 x 10 -34Js)( 3.00 x 108 m/s) wavelength = = = 4.09 x 10 -19J wavelength = 4.87 x 10 -7 m = 487 nm
Modern Reassessment of the Atomic Theory 1. All matter is composed of atoms. Although atoms are composed of smaller particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons), the atom is the smallest body thatretains the unique identity of the element. 2. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element ina chemical reaction. Elements can only be converted into other elements in Nuclear reactions in which protons are changed. 3. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons, which determines the chemical behavior of the element. Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons, and thus in mass number, but a sample of the element is treated as though its atoms have an average mass. 4. Compounds are formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in specific ratios, as originally stated by Dalton.
