Atomic Structure Goals
SC3 Students will use the modern atomic theory
to explain the characteristics of atoms.
a. Discriminate between the relative size, charge,
and position of protons, neutrons, and electrons in
the atom.
b. Use the orbital configuration of neutral atoms to
explain its effect on the atom’s chemical
properties.
c. Explain the relationship of the proton number to
the element’s identity.
d. Explain the relationship of isotopes to the relative
abundance of atoms of a particular element.
e. Relate light emission and the movement of
electrons to element identification.

What is an Element?
• One of the ~116 known “Pure”,
un-cutable substances….that
still retain the properties of that
substance.

What is an Atom?
• Smallest piece of matter
that still retains the
properties of that matter.
• What are they composed of?

•Electrons are
found in different

•These are called
Energy Levels or

also has “sublevels”
or orbitals

How can I find out how many
electrons an atom has?
• Atom= neutral
• So, the number of protons =
electrons.
• Atomic number tells you the
number of protons.................
• So, it also tells you the number
of electrons!
Atomic Structure
• Practice with a friend…………
Quantum Mechanical Model
• Based on quantum theory, which says matter also
has properties associated with waves.
• According to quantum theory, it’s impossible to
know the exact position and momentum of an
electron at the same time. This is known as the
Uncertainty Principle.
• This model of the atom uses complex shapes of
orbitals (sometimes called electron clouds)
– Orbitals: volumes of space in which there is likely to be
an electron.
So, this model is based on probability rather than certainty.
Atomic Orbitals
• An atomic orbital is a region of space in which there
is a high probability of finding an electron.
• Energy levels of electrons are labeld by principal
quantum numbers (n).
• Each energy sublevel corresponds to an orbital of a
different shape, which describes where the electron
is likely to be found.
• Different orbitals have different shapes.
Quantum Numbers
n, l, m, s
21
• Describing electron locations
• 4 quantum number.
• 1st-Principle Quantum # = n
– Which energy level the e- is in.
– n= 1-7
(there are only 7 energy levels)
• Max # formula= 2n2
• the larger the value of n, the farther away from
the nucleus and the higher the energy of the
electron.
2nd quantum number=
l
• Describes the shape (orbital)
• Shapes: s, p, d, f
• Each shape “sublevel”
can only have 2 electrons.
• Max electrons in each sublevel:
– s=(1x2)2, p=(3x2)6, d=(5x2)10, f=(7x2)14

sublevels

• 3rd quantum number= m
– Describes orientation
in space
– x, y, z
• 4th quantum number= s
– Describes the spin of
the e in the orbital
– Clock or counterclock

Orbital Filling Diagrams
(3 rules)

Principle: eoccupy orbitals
of the lowest
energy first.

Orbital Filling Diagrams
• Hund’s Rule: one electron in each
orbital, then electrons pair up with
opposite spins.
• Pauli Exclusion Principal: An orbital
may have no more than 2 electrons. 2 ecannot have the same spin in the same
orbital.
23
• Practice:
• H, C, Na, S, Ar, K.
Blocks and Sublevels
• We can use the periodic table to predict which sublevel is
being filled by a particular element.

Electrons and Light Emission
• When atoms absorb
energy, electrons
move into higher
energy levels
(excited state).
• When the return to
their ground state,
the lose energy by
emitting light.
• The light emitted is
a mixture of a
specific frequencies.
28
• A quantum of energy is the amount of
energy required to move an electron from
on energy level to another energy level.
• The higher the ground state, the less energy
it take to move to a higher energy level.
Electrons & Light
Emission
• Each frequency
is a different
color.
• When the
frequencies are
passed through
a prism, the
colors are
separated & an
atomic emission • Larger “jump”- more energy- 29

more towards the blue side

• Smaller “jump”- less energythat element.
more towards the red side

• The flame test is used to visually determine
the identity of an unknown metal or
metalloid ion based on the characteristic
color the salt turns the flame of a bunsen
burner

Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of
protons and differ only in the number of neutrons.
Most isotopes are stable but radioactive isotopes
are unstable and break down into more stable
forms by emitting particles and energy (radiation).
Radiation can be detected, so radioactive isotopes
are useful as labels in scientific research and
medical diagnostic procedures.
