Particle-Wave
Duality
Light Exhibits Interference
Constructive interference
– Waves “in-phase” lead to greater amplitude
– They add together
Destructive interference
– Waves “out-of-phase” lead to lower amplitude
– They cancel out

Are Electrons Waves or Particles?
Light behaves like both a particle and a wave:
– Exhibits interference
– Has particle-like nature
When studying behavior of electrons:
– Known to be particles
– Also demonstrate interference

of lakes and oceans
Standing wave
– Produced when guitar string
is plucked
– Center of string vibrates

De Broglie & Quantized Energy
• Electron energy quantized
– Depends on integer n
• Energy level spacing
changes when positive
charge in nucleus changes
– Line spectra different for
each element
• Lowest energy allowed is
for n =1
• Energy cannot be zero, hence atom cannot collapse

Wave Functions
Schrödinger’s equation
– Solutions give wave functions and energy levels of
electrons
Wave function
– Wave that corresponds to electron
– Called orbitals for electrons in atoms
Amplitude of wave function squared
– Can be related to probability of finding electron at
that given point
Nodes
– Regions where electrons will not be found

Orbitals Characterized by 3 Quantum #’s
Quantum Numbers:
– Shorthand
– Describes characteristics of electron’s position
– Predicts its behavior
n = principal quantum number
– All orbitals with same n are in same shell
ℓ = secondary quantum number
– Divides shells into smaller groups called subshells
mℓ = magnetic quantum number
– Divides subshells into individual orbitals

• Possible values of mℓ depend on ℓ
– There are 2ℓ+1 different values of mℓ for given ℓ
• Determines orientation of orbital in space
• To designate specific orbital, you need three quantum

Pauli Exclusion Principle
• No two electrons in same atom can have same set of all
four quantum numbers (n, ℓ, mℓ , ms)
Can only have two electrons per orbital

Magnetic Properties
• Two electrons in same orbital have different spins
– Spins paired—diamagnetic
– Sample not attracted to magnetic field
– Magnetic effects tend to cancel each other
• Two electrons in different orbital with same spin
– Spins unpaired—paramagnetic
– Sample attracted to a magnetic field
– Magnetic effects add
• Measure extent of attraction
– Gives number of unpaired spins

Hund’s Rule
• If you have more than one orbital all at the same
energy
– Put one electron into each orbital with spins
parallel (all up) until all are half filled
– After orbitals are half full, pair up electrons
Why?
• Repulsion of electrons in same region of space
• Empirical observation based on magnetic properties
