3. Properties of Waves Wavelength ( ) is the distance between identical points on successive waves. Amplitude is the vertical distance from the midline of a wave to the peak or trough. 7.1

4. Properties of Waves Frequency ( ) is the number of waves that pass through a particular point in 1 second (Hz = 1 cycle/s). The speed (u) of the wave = x 7.1

5. Maxwell (1873), proposed that visible light consists of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic radiation is the emission and transmission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. Speed of light (c) in vacuum = 3.00 x 10 8 m/s All electromagnetic radiation x  c 7.1

7. x = c = c/ = 3.00 x 10 8 m/s / 6.0 x 10 4 Hz = 5.0 x 10 3 m Radio wave A photon has a frequency of 6.0 x 10 4 Hz. Convert this frequency into wavelength (nm). Does this frequency fall in the visible region? = 5.0 x 10 12 nm 7.1

8. Mystery #1, “Black Body Problem” Solved by Planck in 1900 Energy (light) is emitted or absorbed in discrete units (quantum). E = h x Planck’s constant (h) h = 6.63 x 10 -34 J s 7.1

9. Light has both: 1.wave nature 2.particle nature h = KE + BE Mystery #2, “Photoelectric Effect” Solved by Einstein in 1905 Photon is a “particle” of light KE = h - BE h KE e - 7.2

10. E = h x E = 6.63 x 10 -34 (J s) x 3.00 x 10 8 (m/s) / 0.154 x 10 -9 (m) E = 1.29 x 10 -15 J E = h x c /  7.2 When copper is bombarded with high-energy electrons, X rays are emitted. Calculate the energy (in joules) associated with the photons if the wavelength of the X rays is 0.154 nm.

15. Schrodinger Wave Equation In 1926 Schrodinger wrote an equation that described both the particle and wave nature of the e - Wave function (  ) describes: 1. energy of e - with a given  2. probability of finding e - in a volume of space Schrodinger’s equation can only be solved exactly for the hydrogen atom. Must approximate its solution for multi-electron systems. 7.5

16. QUANTUM NUMBERS The shape, size, and energy of each orbital is a function of 3 quantum numbers which describe the location of an electron within an atom or ion n (principal) ---> energy level l (orbital) ---> shape of orbital m l (magnetic) ---> designates a particular suborbital The fourth quantum number is not derived from the wave function s(spin) ---> spin of the electron (clockwise or counterclockwise: ½ or – ½) s (spin) ---> spin of the electron (clockwise or counterclockwise: ½ or – ½)

17. Schrodinger Wave Equation  fn(n, l, m l, m s ) principal quantum number n n = 1, 2, 3, 4, …. n=1 n=2 n=3 7.6 distance of e - from the nucleus

18. e - density (1s orbital) falls off rapidly as distance from nucleus increases Where 90% of the e - density is found for the 1s orbital 7.6

19.  = fn(n, l, m l, m s ) angular momentum quantum number l for a given value of n, l = 0, 1, 2, 3, … n-1 n = 1, l = 0 n = 2, l = 0 or 1 n = 3, l = 0, 1, or 2 Shape of the “volume” of space that the e - occupies l = 0 s orbital l = 1 p orbital l = 2 d orbital l = 3 f orbital Schrodinger Wave Equation 7.6

20. Types of Orbitals ( l ) s orbital p orbital d orbital

21. l = 0 (s orbitals) l = 1 (p orbitals) 7.6

22. p Orbitals this is a p sublevel with 3 orbitals These are called x, y, and z this is a p sublevel with 3 orbitals These are called x, y, and z There is a PLANAR NODE thru the nucleus, which is an area of zero probability of finding an electron 3p y orbital

26. m l = -1m l = 0m l = 1 m l = -2m l = -1m l = 0m l = 1m l = 2 7.6

27.  = fn(n, l, m l, m s ) spin quantum number m s m s = +½ or -½ Schrodinger Wave Equation m s = -½m s = +½ 7.6

28. Existence (and energy) of electron in atom is described by its unique wave function . Pauli exclusion principle - no two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers. Schrodinger Wave Equation  = fn(n, l, m l, m s ) Each seat is uniquely identified (E, R12, S8) Each seat can hold only one individual at a time 7.6

30. Schrodinger Wave Equation  = fn(n, l, m l, m s ) Shell – electrons with the same value of n Subshell – electrons with the same values of n and l Orbital – electrons with the same values of n, l, and m l How many electrons can an orbital hold? If n, l, and m l are fixed, then m s = ½ or - ½  = (n, l, m l, ½ ) or  = (n, l, m l, - ½ ) An orbital can hold 2 electrons 7.6

31. How many 2p orbitals are there in an atom? 2p n=2 l = 1 If l = 1, then m l = -1, 0, or +1 3 orbitals How many electrons can be placed in the 3d subshell? 3d n=3 l = 2 If l = 2, then m l = -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2 5 orbitals which can hold a total of 10 e - 7.6

32. s orbitals d orbitals Number of orbitals Number of electrons 1 35 2 610 p orbitals f orbitals 7 14 How many electrons can be in a sublevel? Remember: A maximum of two electrons can be placed in an orbital.

33. Order of orbitals (filling) in multi-electron atom 1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s 7.7

34. Outermost subshell being filled with electrons 7.8

35. Why are d and f orbitals always in lower energy levels? d and f orbitals require LARGE amounts of energy It’s better (lower in energy) to skip a sublevel that requires a large amount of energy (d and f orbtials) for one in a higher level but lower energy This is the reason for the diagonal rule! BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE ARROWS IN ORDER!

36. Electron configuration is how the electrons are distributed among the various atomic orbitals in an atom. 1s 1 principal quantum number n angular momentum quantum number l number of electrons in the orbital or subshell Orbital diagram H 1s 1 7.8

37. Shorthand Notation Step 1: Find the closest noble gas to the atom (or ion), WITHOUT GOING OVER the number of electrons in the atom (or ion). Write the noble gas in brackets [ ]. Step 2: Find where to resume by finding the next energy level. Step 3: Resume the configuration until it’s finished.

38. What is the electron configuration of Mg? Mg 12 electrons 1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 12 electrons 7.8 Abbreviated as [Ne]3s 2 [Ne] 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 What are the possible quantum numbers for the last (outermost) electron in Cl?

39. Orbital Diagrams Energy of orbitals in a multi-electron atom n=1 l = 0 n=2 l = 0 n=2 l = 1 n=3 l = 0 n=3 l = 1 n=3 l = 2 7.7 Energy depends on n and l

40. “Fill up” electrons in lowest energy orbitals (Aufbau principle) H 1 electron H 1s 1 He 2 electrons He 1s 2 Li 3 electrons Li 1s 2 2s 1 Be 4 electrons Be 1s 2 2s 2 B 5 electrons B 1s 2 2s 2 2p 1 C 6 electrons ?? 7.7

41. C 6 electrons The most stable arrangement of electrons in subshells is the one with the greatest number of parallel spins (Hund’s rule). C 1s 2 2s 2 2p 2 N 7 electrons N 1s 2 2s 2 2p 3 O 8 electrons O 1s 2 2s 2 2p 4 F 9 electrons F 1s 2 2s 2 2p 5 Ne 10 electrons Ne 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 7.7

42. Paramagnetic unpaired electrons 2p Diamagnetic all electrons paired 2p 7.8

44. Exceptions to the Aufbau Principle Remember d and f orbitals require LARGE amounts of energy If we can’t fill these sublevels, then the next best thing is to be HALF full (one electron in each orbital in the sublevel) There are many exceptions, but the most common ones are d 4 and d 9 For the purposes of this class, we are going to assume that ALL atoms (or ions) that end in d 4 or d 9 are exceptions to the rule. This may or may not be true, it just depends on the atom.

45. Exceptions to the Aufbau Principle d 4 is one electron short of being HALF full In order to become more stable (require less energy), one of the closest s electrons will actually go into the d, making it d 5 instead of d 4. For example: Cr would be [Ar] 4s 2 3d 4, but since this ends exactly with a d 4 it is an exception to the rule. Thus, Cr should be [Ar] 4s 1 3d 5. Procedure: Find the closest s orbital. Steal one electron from it, and add it to the d.

46. Try These! Write the shorthand notation for: Cu W Au [Ar] 4s 1 3d 10 [Xe] 6s 1 4f 14 5d 5 [Xe] 6s 1 4f 14 5d 10

47. Keep an Eye On Those Ions! Electrons are lost or gained like they always are with ions… negative ions have gained electrons, positive ions have lost electrons The electrons that are lost or gained should be added/removed from the outermost energy level (not the highest orbital in energy!)

48. Keep an Eye On Those Ions! Tin Atom: [Kr] 5s 2 4d 10 5p 2 Sn +4 ion: [Kr] 4d 10 Sn +2 ion: [Kr] 5s 2 4d 10 Note that the electrons came out of the highest energy level, not the highest energy orbital!
