Electrons in Atoms Where are they?

Energy Levels Orbits around the nucleus can also be called shells or energy levels.

Diagram: (Fig. 13.3) The energy levels in an atom are sort of like _________ of a ladder. The more energy an electron has, the __________ away from the nucleus it usually will be. The energy levels are not evenly spaced. They get ___________ together as you travel farther away. To move from one “rung” to another requires a “____________” of energy. Energy Levels rungs farther closer quantum

Quantum Numbers Describe the ______________ of the e - ’s around the nucleus. Quantum #’s are sort of like a home _____________ for the electron. This information about the location of the e - ’s in an atom can be used to: (1) determine chemical & physical _____________ for the elements. (2) show how the _______________ __________ is organized. (3) show _____ and _____ elements combine to form compounds. location address properties Periodic Table howwhy

The Four Quantum Numbers 1. Principal Q. #: Describes the _____________ that the electron is from the nucleus. The bigger the number, the ___________ away the electron is. Example: (1=closest, 2, 3, 4...farther away) These distances are sometimes called _______________ ______________ ____________ nucleus distance farther principal energy levels

2. Orbital Q. #: Describes the __________ of the electron’s path around the nucleus with a letter: (s, p, d, & f) These are sometimes called “_____________”. s=_____________ cloud; p=_____________ or a 3-D figure 8; shape sublevels sphericalellipsoid

d & f orbital shapes are complex ________- _______________ ellipsoids, and some d’s and f’s are an ellipsoid with a doughnut or two around the middle. All of these orbital shapes are based on the probability of finding the electron in the cloud. d - orbitals f - orbitals criss crossing

(x, y, and z) d= ___ orientations f= ___ orientations The orientations are represented with a line or a box. _________ electrons can fit into _______ orientation. Examples: ___This means a __________ orbital at a distance of 1s“__” (close) to the nucleus.

Spin Q. #: describes how the electron in an orientation is spinning around the nucleus. This spin can be thought of as “____” or “________”. (Some like to imagine it spinning “clockwise” and “counterclockwise”.) The spin is represented as an ___________ in the direction of the spin. Example: ↑ This represents one electron in a _________ 2s orbital with spin “____” at a distance of “___” from the nucleus. Remember, the four quantum numbers tell us the location, or “address” of each electron in an atom. This information is vital in understanding the layout of the Periodic Table and the reasoning behind why and how atoms form bonds. up down arrow spherical up2

Rule #5: The Exceptions – Half-filled or completely filled d & f sublevels have ________ energies and are more stable than partially filled d’s and f’s. – This means that an atom can “borrow” one of its “s” electrons from the previous orbital to become more stable. Example: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ 5s 4d becomes___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ 5s 4d – Because the 4d sublevel is now full, the atom is at a ________ energy state and therefore _________ stable. lower more ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↓ ↑ ↑
