1
Quantum Theory Schroedinger’s Cat Place a cat in a box
Also place a radioactive isotope and a vial of poison The isotope decays once per hour If the particle triggers a Geiger counter, the cat dies If the Geiger counter is not triggered, the cat lives Seal the box and wait an hour What happened to the cat?
2
Electromagnetic Spectrum
The speed of light© is 3.00 x 108 m/s
4
Photoelectric Effect The emission of _________ from a metal when ______________ on the metal Light had to be a certain ______________ ____for electrons to be emitted Wave theory of light said that _____________ of light should have worked This led to the concept of light as a ___________
5
Light as a particle Max Planck (1900)
Hot objects emit light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, but not continuously, as expected Instead, it is emitted in small, specific amounts called quanta. E=hv H=6.626 x J*s This number is called Planck’s constant
7
Dual Nature of Light Albert Einstein (1905)
Light behaves as a ________ when it travels through space Light behaves as a _________ when interacting with matter Even though it isn’t quite right to do so, you can think of light as a __________________ that travels as a wave A _________ is a massless bundle of light E photon=hv Some metals hold electrons more tightly than others and require ____________________ to move electrons
8
Emission Spectra Ground State ___________ energy state of an electron
Excited State ___________ energy state Energy is absorbed to move from ___________ ___________ states and is released as ___________ ___________ when returning to the ground state ___________ ___________ of light are emitted for any given element ___________ spectrum- ___________ range of em light(rainbow) (Bright) Line emission spectrum-Only ___________ ___________ of light are seen
9
The Bohr Model Niels Bohr (1913)
Allowed for electrons to have ___________ Electrons have ___________ energies Lower energy- ___________ to nucleus Higher energy- ___________ from nucleus Electrons can ___________ energy to raise to the next energy level and ___________ the same energy when falling to the ground state This model works well for ___________ but not for other elements
10
Electrons as Waves Louis de Broglie (1924)
Suggested that electrons could be considered as ___________ confined to the space around a nucleus ___________ - bending of light around edges Wave Interference- when waves ___________
11
Quantum Theory Werner Heisenberg (1927) The Uncertainty Principle
One cannot simultaneously know the ___________ and ___________ of an electron
12
Quantum Theory Erwin Schroedinger (1926)
Wave Equation- The quantization of an electron’s energies is an outcome Quantum Theory-mathematically describes wave properties of ___________ and other ___________ ___________
13
Atomic Orbitals and Quantum Numbers
Quantum Numbers- properties of ___________ ___________ and properties of ___________ in orbitals Like the address of an electron or a seat in a stadium or theater
14
Principal Quantum Number
1,2,3 K,L,M This would be like the section on a ticket for a stadium seat
15
Angular Momentum Quantum Number
___________ of an orbital 0,1,2,3 s,p,d,f Like the row in a stadium or theater
16
Magnetic Quantum Number
___________ of an orbital around the nucleus +1 to -1 Like finding your seat in a stadium or theater
17
Spin Quantum Number Ms Fundamental ___________ of an electron
+1/2 or -1/2 A single orbital can hold up to a maximum of ___________ of ___________ spin This would be which direction you are facing in a theater or stadium seat
19
Some Quantum Theory Rules
Pauli Exclusion Principle- No two electrons have the same set of ______________________ . Or An orbital within a sublevel can contain up to ___________ of opposite spin Hund’s Rule- Each orbital within a ___________ receives an electron of ___________ spin before any can receive an electron of ___________ spin
