2
What are the components of an atom? What is in the nucleus? What are the charges of the subatomic particles? Where are the electrons?
3
Planets around the sun Could only explain simple properties of atoms Red fire vs blue fire
4
Each electron is on an orbit that has a fixed energy. These orbits are called energy levels. Orbit = energy level No “in between” levels (ladder example) A quantum is the amount of energy needed to move from one level to the next.
5
aka Quantum Mechanical Model There is no specific path electrons take Demonstrates the probability of finding an electron in that location. No more orbits. We now have energy levels.
6
A region of space where there is a high probability of finding an e- (~90%) Each energy level has orbit als. These are not orbits. Bad choice of name.
7
Each atom is categorized by the number of levels and sublevels. The number of levels are referred to as n. Also, the number of sublevels equals n. So…. energy level 1 has 1 sublevel, energy level 2 has 2 sublevels, etc…..
8
There are 4 types or orbitals and we will only focus on 3 (s orbitals, p orbitals, and d orbitals) The number of sublevels = n 2 where n =the energy level Each orbital has a different shape and they all build on one another. Each orbital can only hold 2 e- so the number of electrons at each energy level = 2 n 2.

Sphere shaped Hold 2e- Cross section
11
Dumbbell shaped Hold 2e- each for a total of 6 This is 1 p orbital, not 2
13
Hold 2e- each for a total of 10.

Energy level (n)# of sublevels (n)Sublevels (n 2 )# of e- that n can hold (2n 2 ) 111 (1 s orbital)2 224 (1 s orbital and 3 p orbitals)8 339 (1 s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 5 d orbitals) 18 4416 (1 s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals). 32
16
Rule #1 – electrons occupy lowest energy level first. S sublevel is always the lowest…….ALWAYS
17
Rule # 2 – an orbital may only hold 2 electrons with opposite spins.
18
Rule #2 - Every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied
19
Write the electron configuration for a phosphorus atom. First, how many electrons need “homes?” Next, place electrons in the orbital with the lowest energy level. Continue adding electrons in orbitals with the next higher energy. 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 3 ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ _____ ____ _____ ____ 1s 2s 2p 2p 2p 3s 3p 3p 3p
21
Ground state Lowest possible energy Excited state Absorption of energy by electron Electron moves to the next energy level. Light is emitted when it moves back to it’s ground state. This transition from the excited back to ground state produces both a distinctive visible color and emission spectrum. “Spectral fingerprints.”

Wavelength – distance between crests
33
Frequency – number of wave cycles in a given time
34
Amplitude – height of wave from zero to crest
