Chapter 7 Quantum-Mechanical Model -explains how e- exist in atoms and how close those e- determine the chemical and physical properties of elements -already studied much of this: -metals vs. non-metals -noble gases inert -charges on ions
-electrons and light have much in common Wave Nature of Light electromagnetic radiation (waves)- a type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields -waves move at a constant speed of 3.00X108m/s -this is the speed of light (c) -takes a particle of light 1/7 of a second to circle Earth -this is why you see fireworks before you hear the bang and why you see lightning before you hear thunder -sound travels about 340m/s
electromagnetic waves amplitude- height of a wave from the origin to the crest or from origin to trough -determines the intensity or brightness of the light, greater amplitude = greater intensity wavelength- ( ) - distance between two adjacent crests (units= m, cm, nm) frequency- ( ) - # of wave cycles that pass through a given point per unit time (units= cycles / sec or 1/s or s-1 or hertz- Hz) -each complete wave cycle begins at the origin and returns to the origin
-frequency is directly proportional to the speed at which the wave is traveling- the faster the wave, the higher the frequency -frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional
c = c = speed of light (3.00 x 108m/s) = frequency (1/s, s-1, Hz) = wavelength (m, cm, nm(10-9)) = c/ page 285 ex 7.1 for practice 7.1 = c/
visible light- light that can be seen by the human eye -wavelength determines the color of the visible light -can see colors when white light is passed through a prism -red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet -red light has the longest wavelength (750nm) -violet has shortest (400nm)
electromagnetic spectrum- includes all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation (radio, microwaves, infrared, visible, UV rays, X-rays, and gamma rays) page 285 figure 7.5 left side = low energy, low frequency, long wavelength right side = high energy, high frequency, short wavelength
Types of electromagnetic radiation: radio waves- longest wavelengths, 105, transmits signals for radios, cell phones, TV microwaves- used for radar and microwaves infrared radiation (IR)- the heat you feel when you place your hand near a hot object visible light- light you can see UV rays- from the sun X-rays- used to image bones and internal organs gamma rays ( )- produced by the sun or in space, very dangerous because of high energy
interference- waves can cancel each other out or build each other up -depends on alignment upon interaction -if waves of equal amplitude from two sources are in phase, (align with overlapping crests), a wave with twice the amplitude results -this is called constructive interference
destructive interference- when waves are completely out of phase and the waves cancel
diffraction- when a wave encounters an obstacle or a slit that is comparable in size to its wavelength, it bends around it
-diffraction of light through two slits separated by a distance comparable to the wavelength of the light results in an interference pattern -dark lines are waves out of phase -bright lines are waves in phase
Particle Nature of Light photoelectric effect- metals emit electrons when light shines on them *especially the alkali metals -used in solar calculators -Einstein proposed that light energy must come in packets photon/quantum- particles/packets of light -he also said that the amount of energy in a photon depends on its frequency
E = h E = energy in joules h = Planck s constant = 6.626 x 10 -34J s = frequency (1/s, s-1, Hz) -since = c/ , the energy of a photon can also be expressed as: E = hc -to find number of photons = Epulse / Ephoton
-electrons emit light when they are excited by the passage of an electric discharge through an element atomic emission spectrum- range of wavelengths emitted by a particular element that can be used to identify an element ex- neon lights- each noble gas will give a specific color (He= pink, Ne= orange/red, Xe= blue, Kr= whitish) ex- fireworks- each element present will give a particular color (Na= yellow, Sr= red, Ca= orange) page 292
-Neils Bohr said that e- travel around the nucleus in circular orbits (energy levels) *e- are at fixed distances from nucleus *radiation was emitted or absorbed only when an electron jumped from one level to another
Louis de Broglie -stated that a single electron traveling through space has a wave nature -its wavelength is related to its kinetic energy = h/mv v = h/m = wavelength h = Planck s constant (6.626x10-34J s) m = mass of electron (9.11x10-31kg) v = velocity (m/s) **1J = 1kg m2/s2
Example- Calculate the wavelength of an electron traveling with a speed of 2.65x106m/s = h/mv (6.626x10-34 kgm2/s2 s) (9.11x10-31kg)(2.65x106m/s) =2.74 x 10-10m For Practice 7.4 page 297
Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle -states that it is impossible to know both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time -Remember where electrons are found in an atom!! -surrounding the nucleus in electron clouds or energy levels
Quantum Mechanics and the Atom Principal Quantum Number (n) -the energy level -determines the overall size and energy of an orbital (where electrons are held) -n can be equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 -distance electron is from the nucleus increases as n increases
Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l) -determines the shape of the orbital -shapes are s, p, d, or f -when given a value of n, l can be any integer including zero up to n - 1 ex: n = 1 l = 0 ex: n = 2 l = 0, 1 -to avoid confusion between n and l, values of l are often assigned as letters
Value of l l = 0 l = 1 l = 2 l = 3 Back to examples: #1: n = 1 l = 0 is in first energy level with s orbitals #2: n = 2 l = 0, 1 is in the second energy level with s and p orbitals Shape of orbital s p d f
Atomic Orbital Shapes s-orbital -spherically shaped -one shape, one orbital -lowest energy orbital p-orbital -peanut/dumb bell shaped -three shapes, three orbitals d-orbital -clover shaped -five shapes, five orbitals
f-orbitals -flower shaped -7 shapes, 7 orbitals energy level n = 1 n = 2 n = 3 n = 4 # of sublevels Type of sublevel 1 2 3 4 3s, 3p, 3d 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f 1s 2s,2p
ex: how many orbitals in 3d? how many orbitals in 4s? how many orbitals in 2p? how many orbitals in 2s? how many orbitals in the third energy level? 9 1 from s, 3 from p, 5 from d 5 1 3 1
-Orbitals with the same value of n are said to be in the same principal level -Orbitals with the same value of n and l are said to be in the same sublevel Magnetic Quantum Number (ml) -specifies the orientation of the orbital -equal to integer values, including zero ranging from -l to +l ex: l = 0 ml = 0 ex: l = 1 ml = -1 0 +1
ex: What are the quantum numbers and names of the orbitals in the n = 4 principal level? How many orbitals exist? n = 4 l ml values 0 0 1 -1 0 +1 2 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 4d 3 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 4f **16 total orbitals Try For Practice 7.5 page 303 Example 7.6 page 303 For Practice 7.6 page 303 orbitals 4s 4p
electron configuration- how e- are arranged around the nucleus Rules for e- configs: 1) Aufbau Principle -electrons enter orbitals of lower energy first s p d f -atomic orbitals are represented as boxes s = 1 box (1 orbital) p = 3 boxes (3 orbitals) d = 5 boxes (5 orbitals) f = 7 boxes (7 orbitals)
2) Pauli-Exclusion Principle -an atomic orbital can hold at most 2 e- -electrons are represented as arrows -spins are opposite -first electron is -second electron is -number of e- must equal number of arrows
3) Hunds Rule -one electron enters each orbital of equal energy until orbitals contain one electron, then they can hold two e- -it is more stable to have partially filled orbitals than empty orbitals
