Electrons in Atoms and the Periodic Table Chapter 9 Tro, 2nd ed. A Brief History of Atomic Theory Greeks were the first to suggest that matter was made up of small particles called atoms Early chemists performed experiments to find these particles Their experiments led to Dalton’s Atomic Theory Dalton’s Atomic Theory was revised further to the Thompson and Rutherford “nuclear” models of the atom Further work has led to the modern nuclear atomic theory, which is still being revised A Brief History of Atomic Theory ~1900 Max Planck: energy emitted in bursts called quanta ~1905 Einstein used quanta to explain properties of light Called quantum of light a photon ~1911 Rutherford proposed “nuclear atom” Nucleus is a tiny center in the atom: Contains most of the mass Contains all of the positive charge (Thought electrons in orbit like mini-solar system - not!) WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ENERGY AND LIGHT (& e-s & photons) Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum of radiation Continuous spectrum is like a “rainbow” Discrete spectrum is lines of specific colors of light Each line of color has its own energy associated with it Light in a vacuum moves at constant speed c = 2.998 X 108 m/sec (memorize!) WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ENERGY AND LIGHT (& e-s & photons) Electromagnetic Radiation - Examples light from the sun x-rays microwaves radio waves television waves radiant heat All show wavelike behavior. Each travels at the same speed in a vacuum: 2.998 x 108 m/s X-rays are part visible of the light Infrared is partlight of is electromagnetic the electromagnetic part of the spectrum spectrum electromagnetic spectrum The Electromagnetic Spectrum Know visible light as ROYGBIV. Characteristics of a Wave Light has the properties of a wave. Wavelength, l Wavelength, l (measured from (measured from peak totrough peak) to trough) Characteristics of a Wave Frequency, n, is the number of wavelengths that pass a particular point per second. Characteristics of a Wave Speed is how fast a wave moves through space. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ENERGY AND LIGHT (& e-s & photons) Each specific “color” of visible light has a specific wavelength called l and a specific frequency called n and both relate to speed of light c = ln Wavelength, l, is length unit: meters/wavelength Frequency, n, is number of wavelengths/second Speed of light: c = meters * wavelength wavelengths = m/s second Energy (Joules) of one photon of light of specific wavelength or frequency: E = hn = Joules/photon h = Planck’s constant (6.626 x 10-34 J.s) The Bohr Atom At high temperatures or voltages, elements in the gaseous state emit light of different colors. When the light is passed through a prism or diffraction grating a line spectrum results. Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist, in 1912-1913 carried out research on the hydrogen atom. Each element has its own unique set of spectral emission lines that distinguish it from other elements. These colored lines indicate that light is being emitted only at certain wavelengths. Line spectrum of hydrogen. Each line corresponds to the wavelength of the energy emitted when the electron of a hydrogen atom, which has absorbed energy falls back to a lower principal energy level. Tro: Figure 9.8: each element produces its own unique emission spectrum. Spectra Energy is absorbed by e-, then emitted as a photon of light. Tro: Figure 9.11 The Bohr Atom E1 E2 E3 An electron can have one of several possible energies depending on its orbit. The Bohr Atom Electrons revolve An electron has a around the nucleus in it discrete energy when orbits thatan areorbit. located occupies at fixed distances from the nucleus. Different lines of the hydrogen spectrum correspond to different electron energy level shifts.

The Bohr Atom Light is not emitted continuously, but is emitted in discrete packets called photons CALCULATIONS FOR l, n AND E OF A PHOTON EMITTED BY AN ELECTRON When e- in H atom moves from energy level 1 up to energy level 4 and then drops back down to energy level 2, we see a photon of light emitted that has a wavelength, l, of 4.86 x 10-7 m. Calculate the frequency of the light and the energy of the photon emitted. c = ln Rearrange to get frequency, n n = c/l = (2.998x108 m/s)/(4.86x10-7 m) = 6.17 x 1014 /s E = hn = 6.626x10-34 J.s * 6.17 x 1014 /s = 4.09 x 10-19 J/photon of light MODERN ATOMIC THEORY Bohr’s calculations succeeded very well for the hydrogen atom. Bohr’s methods did not succeed for heavier atoms. So…more theoretical work on atomic structure was needed. MODERN ATOMIC THEORY Thompson had shown that light, which is photons of energy, had the properties of matter as well. In 1924, Louis De Broglie suggested that all matter must also have wave properties. De Broglie showed that the wavelength of ordinary sized objects, such as a baseball, are too small to be observed. For objects the size of an electron the wavelength can be detected. MODERN ATOMIC THEORY In 1926, Schröedinger created a mathematical model that showed electrons as waves. Schröedinger’s work led to a new branch of physics called wave or quantum mechanics. Using Schröedinger’s wave mechanics, the probability of finding an electron in a certain region around the atom can be determined. The actual location of an electron within an atom cannot be determined (Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle). MODERN ATOMIC THEORY Based on wave mechanics it is clear that electrons are not revolving around the nucleus in orbits. Instead of being located in orbits, the electrons are located in orbitals. An orbital is a region around the nucleus where there is a high probability of finding an electron. MODERN ATOMIC THEORY According to Bohr the energies of electrons in an atom are quantized. The wave-mechanical model of the atom also predicts discrete principal energy levels within the atom. Energy Levels of Electrons Principal energy levels, n = 1,2,3...(also called principal quantum number) Each energy level contain(s) sublevel(s) called s, p, d, and f (the angular momentum quantum number, l) Within sublevels are orbitals (designated by orientation in 3-D space, called the magnetic quantum number, ml) Each orbital can hold 2 e-s max (each electron is assigned a spin quantum number, ms) As n increases, the energy of the electron increases The first four principal energy levels of the hydrogen atom Each level is assigned a principal quantum number, n Energy levels in atoms Energy levels in atoms The number of sublevels equals the assigned energy level. For n=1, there is one sublevel, s. For n=2, there are two sublevels, s & p, etc. The sublevels have the quantum designation, l. The maximum value is n -1. Each principal energy level is subdivided into sublevels. Within sublevels the electrons are found in orbitals. An s orbital is round and soft, like a nerf ball. The shape represents the highest probability where the electron might be found. An atomic orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons. An electron can spin in one of two possible directions represented by ↑ or ↓. The two electrons that occupy an atomic orbital must have opposite spins. This is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principal. A p sublevel is made up of three p-type orbitals. Each p orbital has two lobes and can hold a maximum of two electrons. Since there are three orbitals, a p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. The three p orbitals all center at the atom’s nucleus… pz py px …and occupy one of the three axes of 3-D space. A d sublevel is made up of five orbitals. The five d orbitals lie in different planes and point in different directions. Each d orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons. A d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons. Tro Figure 9.19: The number of subshells within a shell is equal to the value of n, the principal quantum number. Shells & Subshells Etc, etc, etc: What subshells exist for n = 5? Energy Levels of Electrons Pauli Exclusion Principle: Each orbital can hold a max of 2 e-s, so possibilities are 0, 1 or 2 e-s. s has only 1 orbital 2 e-s MAX p has 3 orbitals 6 e-s MAX d has 5 orbitals 10 e-s MAX f has 7 orbitals 14 e-s MAX (g has ? Orbitals ?? e-s MAX) Energy Levels of Electrons Max is 2 e-s because of a property of e-s called spin. (Pauli Exclusion Principle) Each e- is spinning on its axis like the earth. Any spinning charge creates a magnetic field, with N and S poles. The direction of spin determines which is North. The e-s will pair up in an orbital so their N poles are opposite each other. Atomic Structure of the First 18 Elements: Use these guidelines The ground state of the electron is the lowest energy orbital it can occupy. Higher energy orbitals are excited states. The distribution of electrons into the various energy shells and subshells in an atom in its ground state is called its electron configuration. Each energy shell and subshell has a maximum number of electrons it can hold: s = 2, p = 6, d = 10, f = 14 Place electrons in the energy shells and subshells in order of energy, from low energy up: the Aufbau Principal. Atomic Structure of the First 18 Elements: Use these guidelines No more than two electrons can occupy one orbital Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals available, the ground state. They enter a higher energy orbital only after the lower orbitals are filled. (Aufbau again.) For the atoms beyond hydrogen, orbital energies vary as “s<p<d<f” for a given value of n. Each orbital in a sublevel is occupied by a single electron before a second electron enters. For example, all three p orbitals must contain one electron before a second electron enters a p orbital.

Mendeleev’s arrangement is the precursor to the modern periodic table. Period numbers correspond Horizontal rows are to the highest occupied called periods. energy level.

SHORTHAND FOR ELECTRON CONFIGURATIONS: The electron configuration of any of the noble gas elements can be represented by the symbol of the element enclosed in square brackets. 1s22s22p1 [He]2s22p1 Na 1s22s22p63s1 [Ne]3s1 Cl 1s22s22p63s23p5 [Ne]3s23p5 B VALENCE ELECTRONS Valence electrons determine how atoms of the representative elements will combine with each other. (By forming ions or by sharing e-s.) Valence electrons are in highest principal energy level. FIND valence e-s: - by looking at where atom is on periodic table - or by looking at its written e- config and underlining the e-s in the highest # principal energy level Notice that Group 1A elements all have ns1 in last place, Group 2A is ns2, etc. What is Group 7A “generic” valence arrangement? ns2np5 VALENCE ELECTRONS EXAMPLE: IODINE is element #53. Identify the number of valence e’s and their location. It is in group 7A, so it has 7 valence e-s. Or underline in the configuration: [Kr]5s24d105p5. The chemical properties of For “A” family behavior elementsand the valence electron elements in a family associated with the configuration is the are same in each column. electron configuration of its elements. With the exception of helium which has one filled s orbital, the nobles gases have filled all p orbitals.

Electron Configuration Using the Periodic Table See page 284 in your textbook for complete instructions. Locate the element on the Periodic Table and locate its row and column. The outermost electrons are determined by this. Then fill in the “inner” electrons by looking at the noble gas just before the element and filling in up to the atom. Make sure the electrons add up to the element’s atomic number. Example: Bromine. Row 4, column 7A or 17. Outermost electrons will end with 4p5. Argon is just before Br. From Argon, go to row 4, s block, cross the 3d’s, and you’re at the 4p block. Bromine is [Ar]4s23d104p5 GROUP PRACTICE: Try to write Ti, Fe, Pd, and U abbreviated configuration using the rules & using the Periodic Table Ti: [Ar] 4s23d2 Fe: [Ar] 4s23d6 Pd: [Kr] 5s24d8 U: [Rn] 7s25f4 Do the complete e- config and abbrev econfig for germanium, and underline its valence e-s. The Noble Gas Electron Configuration Noble gases have 8 valence electrons - except for He, which has only 2 electrons Noble gases are especially nonreactive - He and Ne are practically inert Noble gases are nonreactive because their electron configurations are especially stable Alkali Metals Alkali metals have one more electron than the previous noble gas Alkali metals tend to lose their extra electron, resulting in the same electron configuration as a noble gas, forming a cation with a 1+ charge Halogens Electron configurations for halogens have one fewer electron than the next noble gas In reactions with metals, the halogens tend to gain an electron and attain the electron configuration of the next noble gas, forming an anion with charge 1In reactions with nonmetals, they tend to share electrons with the other nonmetal, so that each attains the electron configuration of a noble gas Stable Electron Configuration and Ion Charge Metals form cations by losing enough electrons to get the same electron configuration as the previous noble gas Nonmetals form anions by gaining enough electrons to get the same electron configuration as the next noble gas Isoelectronic series: N3- O2F- Ne Na+ Mg2+ Al3+ Na Atom’s Electron Config [Ne]3s1 Na+ Ion’s Electron Config [Ne] Mg [Ne]3s2 Mg2+ [Ne] Al [Ne]3s23p1 Al3+ [Ne] O [He]2s2p4 O2- [Ne] F [He]2s22p5 F- [Ne] Atom Ion Make a table as above for the isoelectronic series around argon.
