1. Quantum Mechanics

2. Electron Density Gives the probability that an electron will be found in a particular region of an atom Regions of high electron density represent a high probability of locating the electron Representation of the electron density distribution surrounding the nucleus in the hydrogen atom; shows a high probability of finding the electron closer to the nucleus

3. Atomic Orbital Way to distinguish Bohr’s model from the current quantum mechanical model Probability of locating the electron in 3D space around the nucleus Has a characteristic energy

4. Quantum numbers Principle quantum number (n) Angular momentum quantum number Magnetic quantum number Electron spin quantum number

5. 5 n = 1, 2, 3, 4, …. n=1 n=2 n=3 distance of e - from the nucleus Principal Quantum Number n

6. Energy levels are like rungs of a ladder. You cannot be in between a rung Energy levels in an atom’s electron are unequally spaced. The higher energy levels are closer together.

7. Angular Momentum Quantum Number Shape of the “volume” of space that the e - occupies s orbital p orbital d orbital f orbital

8. Magnetic Quantum Number Describes the orientation of the orbitals in space

9. s orbital Sphere

10. p orbital dumbbell3 orientations

11. d orbital Double dumbbell 5 orientations

12. f orbital 7 orientations

13. Electron Spin Quantum Number

15. Energy of Orbitals

16. Shielding Effect Why is the 2s orbital lower in energy than the 2p? “shielding” reduces the electrostatic attraction Energy difference also depends on orbital shape

17. Electron Configuration 1s 1 principal quantum number n Shape number of electrons in the orbital Orbital diagram H 1s 1

18. Aufbau Principle

19. Orbitals in the Periodic Table

20. Pauli Exclusion Principle No two electrons can have the same 4 quantum numbers Only two electrons may occupy the same atomic orbital, and these electrons must have opposite spins Electrons that have opposite spins are said to be paired Orbital name# of orientationsTotal # of electrons s p d f

21. Hund’s Rule The most stable arrangement of electrons in an orbital is the one with the greatest number of parallel spins
