Early Models of the Atom Dalton English chemist & school teacher (1766 – 1864) Used experimental methods to develop scientific theory Democritus Greek philosopher (460 BC –370 BC) Reasoned atoms were indivisible & indestructible Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates.

Early Models of the Atom Dalton’s Atomic Theory – True or False? Elements are composed of tiny indivisible atoms. Atoms of the same element are identical. Atoms of one element differ from those of another element. Atoms of different elements can physically mix or chemically combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds. Chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction.

Energy Levels in Atoms The Bohr Model Each possible electron orbit has a fixed energy known as an energy level. Quantum of Energy Amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another. Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.
Each energy level can hold a specific number of electrons. Energy Levels in Atoms Each energy level can hold a specific number of electrons. Maximum # electrons = 2n2 Energy Level (n) Max # Electrons 1 2 8 3 18 4 32 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.
It is the same number as the period (row) on periodic table Atomic Orbitals Energy Level (n) It is the same number as the period (row) on periodic table The bigger the energy level, the further the electrons are from the nucleus, and the more energy they have Also called Principal Quantum Number Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates.

Energy Levels in Atoms The Bohr Model Ground state - electron occupies lowest possible energy level Excited state - electron absorbs energy and jumps to a higher energy level When electron returns to ground state, it releases energy in the form of light.

Atomic Orbitals Sublevels # of sublevels within an energy level is equal to the principle quantum number For example, n = 1 has 1 sublevel n = 2 has 2 sublevels Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.
Sublevels contain orbitals (s,p,d, or f) Atomic Orbitals Sublevels Sublevels contain orbitals (s,p,d, or f) Each orbital can hold 2 electrons. Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.
There can be several orbital configurations within a sublevel Atomic Orbitals Sublevels There can be several orbital configurations within a sublevel s – sublevel contains 1 orbital p – sublevel contains 3 orbitals d – sublevel contains 5 orbitals f – sublevel contains 7 orbitals Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates.
