To Do Quiz #4 next Wednesday (3/16). 6th HW assignment due Wednesday, March 16, by 10 pm. Exam 2: Thursday, March 17, 7:00 pm
Wave-Particle Duality
Average atom (not to scale)
A First Attempt: WRONG!
A Change Between Two Discrete Energy Levels Emits a Photon of Light
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Wrong Model Gets it Right! Water vs liquid nitrogen
Interference of Waves
Big Ideas – Waves Waves interfere with one another. Constructive interference: adding Destructive interference: canceling The higher the energy, the more complex. Waves are a measure of probability. Not obvious. Controversial when introduced.
Electrons Electrons are most likely to be found near the nucleus Electrons could be any distance (very far even) We do not know how the electron moves ORBITALS = regions of 90% probability
The probability distribution for a hydrogen 1s orbital
Radial Probability Distribution (1s)
Representation of p orbitals
Representation of d orbitals
Representation of f orbitals
Orbital Energy Levels for the Hydrogen Atom
Quantum Numbers
