Quantum Mechanical Model • Or…”Electron Cloud Model” • Electrons move freely within “clouds” (called orbitals) not just restricted to orbits. [http://www.gly.fsu.edu/%7Esalters/GLY1000/6_Minerals/Slide9.jpg]
Quantum Mechanical Model • Atoms have different numbers and shapes of orbitals depending on their number of electrons. “s orbital”
p orbitals d orbitals
Quantum Mechanical Model • As the energy of an electron increases, so does the quantum number (n) • Each principle energy level is also split up into one or more sublevels • Chart on Pg. 145 [http://www.chemistry.mcmaster.ca/esam/Chapter_4/fig4-2.jpg]
Quantum Mechanical Model • In each orbital, only 2 electrons can exist because of electron spin Click here for an Atomic Orbital Applet
Electron Orbital Diagrams • Show which orbitals in an atom electrons occupy. • Arrows are used to represent the electrons.
Electron Orbital Diagrams • Aufbau Principle: • Electrons must “fill” lower energy orbitals before higher energy orbitals. • 1s before 2s, 2s before 2p …
Electron Orbital Diagrams • Pauli Exclusion Principle: Electrons in a orbital always move in opposite directions (spin!) • Use up and down arrows.
Electron Orbital Diagrams • Hund’s Rule: All orbitals of a certain shape must be occupied by one electron before they can be paired.
Electron Orbital Diagrams • Example: Carbon
