3. Take Homes: Atomic Structure
A brief progression:
Dalton
Bohr
Thomson &
Thompson
Rutherford

4. Clicker #1
How many of the following statements about atomic theory are still believed to be true?
I. All atoms of the same element are identical.
II. Negatively charged particles are embedded in a positively charged cloud throughout the atom.
III. As verified by Rutherford, only positively charged particles called protons are found inside the nucleus.
IV. J.J. Thomson provided the first experimental support for the atom.
A) B) 1 C) 2 D) E) 4

5. Niels Bohr Model

6. Take Homes: Niels Bohr Model
Electrons:
Organized in discrete, quantized energy levels positioned outside the nucleus of the atom.
Naturally positioned as close to the nucleus of the atom as possible (ground state.)
Can move from one energy level to a higher level with the addition of energy, but are never located between levels.
The positioning of energy levels and the number of electrons is unique for each element.

7. Take Homes: Niels Bohr Model
Adding energy to an electron excites it, making it move further from the nucleus of the atom.
To regain stability, an electron releases energy (often in the form of light) to return it to a lower energy level.
Electrons orbit the nucleus of the atom in fixed paths.

8. Electrons Electrons are most likely to be found near the nucleus
Electrons could be anywhere (very far even)
We do not know how the electron moves
ORBITALS = regions of 90% probability

9. Clicker #2
How many electrons can fit in a set of d orbitals in the third energy level? How many electrons can fit in a set of f orbitals in the fourth energy level?
A) 1; 1
B) 2; 2
C) 5; 7
D) 10; 14
E) 15; 28

10. Electron Configurations and the Periodic TableLi Be

11. Clicker #3 Why is diagram #1 preferred over diagram #2?
diagram # diagram #2
A) Because spreading out between orbitals of equal energy will minimize electron-electron repulsions.
B) Because each orbital “wants” an electron and this way two of the orbitals will be “happy”.
C) Because this way there are fewer electrons in the element so the nucleus can have a greater positively charged pull overall.
D) Because this arrangement allows us to better predict the wavelength (and thus color) of light that will be emitted to return to its ground state.

12. Electron Configurations and the Periodic TableNa

13. Electron Configurations and the Periodic TableK

14. Electron Configurations and the Periodic TableMn

15. Clicker #4 - Sulfur
Give the complete ground state electron configuration for sulfur.
Use the noble gas shorthand method to give the electron configuration for sulfur.
Determine the number of unpaired electrons an energy diagram of sulfur is likely to contain.
A) 0 B) 1 C) 2 D) 3 E) 6

16. Valence Electrons Highest or outermost energy level electrons
Where the chemistry happens! 
Look at principal quantum level n
Sulfur: 1s22s22p63s23p4
Valence electrons are in n = 3 level
Valence electrons = = 6 electrons
