MODERN ATOMIC THEORY

Chapter 10

ANCIENT GREEKS’ VIEW OF MATTER

About 400 B.C. , Aristotle thought all matter was made of four “elements” :

• earth

• air

• fire

• water

ANCIENT GREEKS’ VIEW OF MATTER

At about the same time another Greek philosopher, Democritus, said that matter was made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.

Atomos is the Greek word for indivisible.

Modern View of the Atom

Tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus made up of positive protons and neutral neutrons.

Negatively charged electron shells enclose the nucleus and contain negative electrons.

Atomic Spectra and BohrAtomic Spectra and Bohr

1. Any orbit should be possible and so is any energy.

2. But a charged particle moving in an electric field should emit energy.

End result should be destruction!

+Electronorbit

One view of atomic structure in early 20th century was that an electron (e-) traveled about the nucleus in an orbit.

Similarity of Elements

Elements are grouped together in vertical columns (Groups) that have similar properties.

Alkali Metals -- Li, Na, K, Rb, & Cs

Halogens -- F2, Cl2, Br2, & I2

Noble Gases -- He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, & Rn

Electromagnetic Radiation

Radiant energy that exhibits wave-like behavior and travels through space at the speed of light in a vacuum.

Waves

Waves have 3 primary characteristics:

1. Wavelength: distance between two peaks in a wave.

2. Frequency: number of waves per second that pass a given point in space.

3. Speed: speed of light is 2.9979 108 m/s.

As the wavelength () decreases, the frequency () increases.

The electromagnetic spectrum.

Wavelength and frequency can be interconverted.

= c/ = frequency (s1, Hz, cyc/s, or waves/s )

= wavelength (m)

c = speed of light (m/s)

Huygens thought light travels as waves, while Newtonbelieved it travels as particles.

Photons

Photons -- tiny particle of electromagnetic radiation -- a bundle of light energy.

Ground state -- electrons are at their lowest energy state in an atom.

Excited state -- electrons have absorbed energy by jumping up to a higher energy state in the atom.

Larger energy jumps by electrons produce shorter wavelength (more energetic) light.

Visible lines in H atom spectrum are called the BALMER series.

High EHigh EShort Short High High

Low ELow ELong Long Low Low

Line Spectra of Excited Atoms

Line Spectra of Excited Atoms

Excited atoms emit light of only certain wavelengths

The wavelengths of emitted light depend on the element.

Atomic Spectrum of Hydrogen

Continuous spectrum: Contains all the wavelengths of light.

Bright Line (discrete) spectrum: Contains only some of the wavelengths of light.

The diagrams above present evidence for discrete energy levels about a nucleus. Electrons can only be found in certain energy levels with certain energies.

Atomic Line Spectra and

Niels BohrBohr’s greatest contribution to

science was in building a simple model of the atom. It was based on an understanding of the BRIGHT LINE SPECTRA of excited atoms.

Niels Bohr

(1885-1962)

Bohr’s Model Bohr’s Model Bohr’s Model was incorrect.

Replaced by QUANTUM or WAVE MECHANICS MODEL.

e- can only exist in certain discrete orbitals.

e- is restricted to QUANTIZED energy states.

e- can not be exactly located--location based upon probability.

Quantum or Wave Mechanics

de Broglie (1924) proposed that all moving objects have wave properties.

de Broglie (1924) proposed that all moving objects have wave properties.

L. de Broglie(1892-1987)

Schrodinger applied idea of e- behaving as a wave to the problem of electrons in atoms.

E. Schrodinger1887-1961

Quantum or Wave Mechanics

The Bohr Model of the atom paved the way for the Quantum MechanicalTheory, but current theory is in no way derived from the Bohr Model of the atom. The Bohr Model of the Atom was fundamentally incorrect--atoms do not move in circular orbitsabout the nucleus.

Quantum Numbers (QN)1. Principal QN (n = 1, 2, 3, . . .) - related to size

and energy of the orbital.

2. Angular Momentum QN -- l (s, p, d, & f) - relates to shape of the orbital.

3. Magnetic QN -- ml (x, y, or z plane) - relates to orientation of the orbital in space relative to other orbitals.

4. Electron Spin QN -- ms (+1/2, 1/2) - relates to the spin states of the electrons-- clockwise or counterclockwise.

Energy Levels and Orbitals

• n = the number of the energy level.

• n2 = the number of orbitals in an energy level.

• 2n2 = the number of electrons in an energy level.

Pauli Exclusion Principle

In a given atom, no two electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms).

Therefore, an orbital can hold only two electrons, and they must have opposite spins.

Aufbau Principle

As protons are added one by one to the nucleus to build up the elements, electrons are similarly added to these hydrogen-like orbitals.

Electron Filling Order

--Aufbau

Hund’s Rule

The lowest energy configuration for an atom is the one having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowed by the Pauli principle in a particular set of degenerate orbitals. Orbitals half-fill before they completely fill.

Because size increases.

Reducing ability generally increases down the periodic table.

Electron AffinityA few elements GAIN electrons to

form anions.

Electron affinity is the energy involved when an anion loses an electron.

A-(g) ---> A(g) + e- E.A. = E

Affinity for electron increases across a period (EA becomes more positive).

Affinity decreases down a group (EA becomes less positive).
