A. Electrons as Waves QUANTIZED WAVELENGTHS
4
B. Quantum Mechanics zHeisenberg Uncertainty Principle yImpossible to know both the velocity and position of an electron
5
B. Quantum Mechanics zSchrödinger Wave Equation (1926) yfinite # of solutions quantized energy levels ydefines probability of finding an e -
6
B. Quantum Mechanics z Schrodinger wave equation and Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle laid foundation for modern quantum theory zQuantum theory: (def) describes mathematically the wave properties of e- and other very small particles
7
B. Quantum Mechanics Radial Distribution Curve Orbital zOrbital (“electron cloud”) yRegion in space where there is 90% probability of finding an e -
8
C. Quantum Numbers UPPER LEVEL zFour Quantum Numbers: ySpecify the “address” of each electron in an atom
9
C. Quantum Numbers 1. Principal Quantum Number ( n ) y Main energy level ySize of the orbital yn 2 = # of orbitals in the energy level
10
C. Quantum Numbers s p d f 2. Angular Momentum Quantum # ( l ) yEnergy sublevel yShape of the orbital (# of possible shapes equal to n) y values from 0 to n-1
11
C. Quantum Numbers If l equals…Then orbital shape is… 0s 1p 2d 3f Principle quantum # followed by letter of sublevel designates an atomic orbital
12
C. Quantum Numbers 3. Magnetic Quantum Number ( m l ) yOrientation of orbital Specifies the exact orbital within each sublevel
13
C. Quantum Numbers z Values for m l : m = - l … 0… + l
14
C. Quantum Numbers pxpx pypy pzpz
15
zOrbitals combine to form a spherical shape. 2s 2p z 2p y 2p x
16
C. Quantum Numbers 4. Spin Quantum Number ( m s ) yElectron spin +½ or -½ yAn orbital can hold 2 electrons that spin in opposite directions.
17
C. Quantum Numbers 1. Principal # 2. Ang. Mom. # 3. Magnetic # 4. Spin # energy level sublevel (s,p,d,f) orbital electron zPauli Exclusion Principle yNo two electrons in an atom can have the same 4 quantum numbers. yEach e - has a unique “address”:
18
C. Quantum Numbers zn=# of sublevels per level zn 2 =# of orbitals per level zSublevel sets: 1 s, 3 p, 5 d, 7 f
