Chapter 4 Electrons
2
ELECTRON BEHAVIOR
3
Who made this model of the atom?
4
What did Bohr discover? **ENERGY LEVELS!! electrons are around the nucleus in fixed orbits (like the planets around the sun!)
5
Electrons are always moving! Electrons are on distinct paths called orbits. The farther the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it has. Electrons can change energy levels and emit a photon of light. Photon: packet of energy
6
Electron Movement Vocabulary Ground State: electrons in the lowest possible energy level Excited State: electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy state Emission : when an electron falls to a lower energy level, a photon is emitted Absorption : energy must be added to an atom in order to move an electron from a lower energy level to a higher energy level Quantum: amount of energy needed to move between energy levels
7
Electron Movement
8
When electrons moves from the excited state to the ground state they emit a photon of light The light emitted by an element is viewed as a bright line emission spectrum Each band of light represents the energy released by an electron when it moves from higher to lower energy
10
Light is organized on the: Electromagnetic Spectrum
11
Because electrons move so much… WE CANNOT KNOW AN ELECTRONS EXACT POSITION OR SPEED AT THE SAME TIME Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle:
12
Schrodinger Don’t know the exact position… Predict where electron will be 90% of the time Each energy level has a different region of probability
13
Electron Location
14
DO NOW How would you describe your current location? Start off really broad, as in the United States, and describe your location to be more specific. How would you describe the location of an electron? Do electrons stay in the same place?
15
We do not know where the electrons are, but we can describe where they might be
16
First Location: ENERGY LEVEL n = 1, 2, 3, 4 …
17
ENERGY LEVEL SUB- LEVEL
18
Second Location: SUBLEVEL These are the probability regions called: s, p, d, f
20
SUB- LEVEL ORBITAL
21
Energy 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 2p 3p 4p 3d Third Location: ORBITAL s = 1p = 3d = 5 f = 7
22
How to fill in an Orbital Diagram
23
Energy Electron Configuration for: Hydrogen Step 1: Electrons are represented as arrows and drawn one at a time. Electrons start at the lowest possible energy. 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 2p 3p 4p 3d
24
Energy Paired electrons Electron Configuration for: Helium Step 2: Electrons have opposite spins. Draw one up and one down. 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 2p 3p 4p 3d
25
Energy Electron Configuration for: Oxygen Step 3: Electrons will spread out first before they pair up. Draw electrons in each orbital first then pair them. Unpaired electron 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 2p 3p 4p 3d
26
What is the electron configuration of S? S 16 electrons Energy 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 2p 3p 4p 3d
27
What is the electron configuration of Sr? Sr 38 electrons 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 2p 3p 4p 3d Energy
28
Outermost subshell being filled with electrons
29
Why is location important? location influences behavior
30
Valence Electrons valence electrons: electrons in the outermost energy level can be lost, gained, or shared electrons that are responsible for reactions Elements in a group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons
31
How many valence electrons in each group? Only the main block elements! 1 23 4 567 8
32
All electrons under the highest energy level Inner Core Electrons
