Quantum-Mechanical Model pg LO: I can write the electron configuration of elements in the PT.
What is the quantum-mechanical model? A model that explains... The probability of where an electron exists when orbiting the nucleus. With a focus on... The energy of the electrons
Bohr Model vs. Quantum-Mechanical Model Bohr Orbits—circular path around the nucleus showing the electrons motion. Differently sized radii Quantum-Mechanical Orbitals—probability map showing likelihood of where an electron will be found. Differently sized shapes
Quantum Numbers Used to specify an electron’s “address” 4 total numbers 1.Energy level “n” 2.Sublevel “shape” 3.Orientation of sublevel orbitals 4.Spin of electrons in sublevel orbitals “m s ”
QN1: Energy Levels 1.Energy level “n” n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 The higher the number, the farther the e - is from the nucleus.
QN2: Sublevel Shape 2.Sublevel “shape” s = spherical p = lobed d = dumbbell f = “complicated” There are as many sublevels as the number of the level.
QN3: Orientation 3.Orientation of sublevel s = 1 orientation p = 3 orientations d = 5 orientations f = 7 orientations
QN4: Electron Spin 4.Electron Spin “m s ” s = p = d = f = Hund’s Rule: Electrons occupy sublevels one at a time before filling up with a second electron. Pos. Spin= Neg. spin=
Electron Configurations (addresses) Electron Configuration: Tells us the location of an electron in the electron cloud. Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons have the same configuration (address). Aufbau Principle: Electrons will occupy the lowest energy position (sublevel) available. (like tennis balls filling a tube)
Aufbau Principle: How orbitals are filled Complete the half-sheet and insert it into your ISN
Electron Configuration Examples Process 1.Determine the # of electrons 2.Fill up electrons in each energy sublevel Lowest Highest 3.Don’t forget Hund’s Rule HW: Worksheet write the first 20 element electron configurations due (Monday 11/16)
