Light and Energy
In 1900 Max Planck helped us move
toward a better understanding of
electromagnetic radiation.
Matter can gain or lose energy only in small,
specific amounts called quanta.
A quantum is the minimum amount of energy
that can be gained or lost by an atom.
Atomic Emission Spectrum




Electrons gain energy and ‘jump’ to a higher
energy level.
This is an unstable excited state.
The electrons rele se energy when they return to
their ground state.
We see this energy as light.
The Bohr Quantum Model
The electron in a hydrogen
atom moves around the
nucleus only in certain
allowed circular orbits
Ground State: The lowest
possible energy level.
Excited State: Higher
energy level.
Atomic Emission Spectra
Wave-Particle Duality Theory (Einstein)
Is energy a wave like light, or a particle?
 BOTH
Atomic Theory
Louis de Broglie (1892 – 1987)
•Matter has characteristics of both waves and
particles
•Electrons move in wavelike motion in the
•circular orbits
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
There
is a fundamental limitation
to just how precisely we can know
both the position and momentum of
a particle at a given time
Schrodinger



Came up with an equation to describe the
probability of finding an electron within a 3D
area of space.
These equations are called wavefunctions. The
wavefunctions describe orbitals.
Orbitals are the building block of electron
arrangement.
Quantum Numbers
At the conclusion of our time
together, you should be able to:
 List and define each of the 4
quantum numbers.
 Relate these numbers to the state,
city, street and home address for the
electron.
 Give the maximum number of
electrons for each level and sublevel.
 Draw the basic shape of the 4
sublevels.
Quantum Numbers

The location of an electron is described with 4
terms or the 4 quantum numbers.
- Energy Level = n
- Sublevel = l
- Orbital = ml
- Spin = ms
Principal Quantum Number - n
Symbol = n
 Represents the main energy level of the electron
and its distance from the nucleus
 Equation: 2n2 - shows how many electrons can
be in each energy level
(e.g. 3rd energy level: 2(3)2 = 18 total possible ein this energy level)
Your turn: How many electrons in the 4th energy
level?
32

Principal Quantum Number - n

In an address analogy, this would be the state in
which the electron would probably be found.
Presently, we can find electrons in 7 states.

Values are 1-7
The Second Quantum Number - l



This number describes sublevels, shapes of
these sublevels and is the Angular momentum
quantum number.
The first 4 sublevels are named s, p, d, f.
Each sublevel has a unique number of orbitals
and shape:
Shape of the “s” Sublevel
• s for "Sphere": the simplest shape, or shape of the
simplest atoms like hydrogen and helium
• Contains 1 orbital.
Shapes of the “p” Sublevel
• p for "Peanut/Petal": a more complex shape that
occurs at energy levels 2 and above
• Contains 3 orbitals.
Shapes of the “d” Sublevel
• d for "Double Peanut/Petal": a complex shape
occurring at energy levels 3 and above
• Contains 5 orbitals.
Shapes of the “f” Sublevel
• f for "Flower": bizarre-shaped orbitals for
electrons of very large atoms
• Contains 7 orbitals.
The Second Quantum Number - l

In the address analogy, this would be the city in
which the electron would probably be found. In
the first state there would be 1 city, in the
second state there would be 2 cities...
The Second Quantum Number - l



The 2nd Quantum Number = 0 to (n-1)
Gives the sublevel type the electron is found in:
s, p, d, or f.
Therefore:
 For s, l = 0
 For p, l = 1
 For d, l = 2
 For f, l = 3
n=1

This number describes the specific orbital that
an electron is in on a specific sublevel.
Value = –l to 0 to +l
s has one orbital,
p has three orbitals,
d has five orbitals and
f has 7 orbitals.
The Third Quantum Number - m
For s, l = 0; For p, l = 1; For d, l = 2; For f, l = 3

The Fourth Quantum Number - s


This number describes the spin of the electrons
in an orbital. There can be two electrons in each
orbital as long as they are spinning in opposite
directions.
In the address analogy, this would be
the house number of the electron.
There can only be 2 houses on each
street
Values are +1/2 = clockwise spin
-1/2 = counter clockwise spin
Values for s:


s = (-1/2, +1/2)
Each orbital can hold
only two oppositely
spinning electrons,
so there are only two
possible “s” values

Quantum Numbers
At the conclusion of our time
together, you should be able to:
 Continue to relate Quantum
Numbers to the state, city, street and
home address for the electron.
 Give the 4 quantum number for every
electron of every atom on the periodic
table.
Let’s Try Helium




H is 1s1
He has 2 electrons, can we add another electron
spinning in the other direction in the first energy
level of the s sublevel with its 1 spherical orbital?
Yes, He is 1s2
He has 2 electrons spinning in opposite
directions in the s sublevel with its spherical
shape with 1 orientation.
Remember the Quantum # Summary for
Hydrogen




1s1
Hydrogen has one electron spinning in a
clockwise direction in the first energy level that
has one spherical orbital in its s sublevel.
The 4 quantum numbers for H are:
1, 0, 0, +1/2
The Pauli Exclusion Principle



No two electrons in an atom can have the same
set of four quantum numbers.
Therefore, the second electron that He has must
have a different set of 4 Quantum Numbers.

He is 1s2
He has 2 electrons, can we add
another electron spinning in
another direction in the first
energy level of the s sublevel with
its 1 spherical orbital?
No, the third electron must go to
the 2nd energy level which has 2
sublevels, s and p, s with its one
spherical orbital and p with its 3
orientations of its petal shaped
orbitals.
Let’s Try Lithium


So the address for all 3 electrons
of Li is:
1s2 2s1
This is called the electron
configuration for Li and basically
says that the first two electrons of

one spherical shape with the 3rd

The “F” Block Elements

Now we come to a confusing part of the periodic
table.
Note that element #57, Lanthanum, is in the “d”
block but the next element #58, Cerium, drops
down to the “f” block.
The Periodic Table
The “F” Block Elements

Also note that according to the Aufbau Principle,
after 6s should fill 4f and then 5d.
The “F” Block Elements


Recent discoveries suggest that Lanthanum is
not the first element of the 4f block as previously
thought, but really is the first element of the 5d
block.
From there we will move to the 4f block.
Lanthanum?

As we follow the numbers on the Periodic Table,
you will see that element #72, Hafnium, is back
in the “d” block.
Therefore, Hafnium’s configuration would be:

Why? Count the total electrons…

Why? Because 5d2 includes 5d1
I’ve counted 5d1 twice!!

It is impossible to determine both the position
and the momentum of an electron at the same
time.

An electron occupies the lowest energy level
available.

No two electrons in the same atom can have
the same set of four quantum numbers.

In other words, no two electrons can be in the
same place at the same time.

Orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by
ONE electron before any orbital is occupied by
a SECOND electron

All electrons in a single occupied orbital must
have the same spin.
