3. Example problem using BOTH Equations…
Find the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 1.0 x 10-3 nm.
c = λv
E = hv
GIVEN:
h = x J s
c = 3.00 x 108 m/s

5. Chemist Humor Question:
Why does hamburger have lower energy than steak?
Answer:
Because it’s in the ground state. 5

6. The Quantum Mechanical model
It is based on the energy and possible location of an electron.
how likely it is to find an electron is described in terms of probability. (ie. Propeller blades)
Based on work done by Shrodinger…

7. Atomic Orbitals
The energy levels of electrons are labeled by principal quantum numbers (n)
Each energy sublevel corresponds to an orbital of a different shape, which describes where the electron is likely to be found.

10. The Shapes of the s, p, and d Orbitals Sketch these in your notes
s orbital
p orbitals
• p orbitals
– Orbitals with l = 1 are p orbitals and contain a nodal plane that includes the nucleus, giving rise to a “dumbbell shape.”
– The size and complexity of the p orbitals for any atom increase as the principal quantum number n increases.
• d orbitals
– Orbitals with l = 2 are d orbitals and have more complex shapes with at least two nodal surfaces.
• f orbitals
– Orbitals with l = 3 are f orbitals, and each f orbital has three nodal surfaces, so their shapes are complex.

14. 1s Orbital Sphere around the nucleus
The one tells you that the electron is in the orbital closest to the nucleus
S tells you about the shape

15. 2s Orbital
Similar to 1s except the electron is most likely in the region farther from the nucleus

16. p Orbitals
At the first energy level there is only the 1s orbital, after the second energy level there are 2p orbitals
Look like dumbbells
