Electron
J.J. Thomson Cathode-ray
The atom has a lot of tiny, negatively charged particles named elec-trons stuck in it.
Nucelus 1Rutherford α particle scatter-
ing
Nucelus 2The atom has a
small, dense, posi-tively charged nu-cleus and electrons at a distance.
The vast majority of the volume of the atom is empty space.

Atomic Structure
Bohr => elenergy level of electron shells
Schrodinger => orbitals & electron cloud
Bohr’s Atomic Model 1
Cause: Line spectrum of atoms => discrete energy levels in an atom
Bohr’s Atomic Model 2
Borh’s idea about Line spectrum
Electrons orbit around the nucleus in discret allowed energy levels (electron shells).
Electrons gain and lose energy by jumping from one orbit to another.
Atomic Orbitals 1
Schrodinger
Electrons’ motion is described as wave-function.
Probaility of finding electrons is caculated from wave function and named orbital.
Atomic Orbitals 2
Watch wave functions and orbitals
Elctron cloud: probaility of find-ing electron (or-bital) decribed with dots
Atomoic Orbitals 3
Orbitals: area of 90~95% of probaility to find electrons
s orbital
p orbials
d orbitals
Electronic Configuration 1
Each orbital can only contain a maxi-mum of 2 electrons.
Elctron shells at a higher energy level have more orbitals.
Order of filling energy levels => 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6
Rule of Elctronic Configura-tion
The Aufbau Principle The electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals
available. The “Ground State” for an atom is when every electron is in its lowest energy orbital.
The Pauli Exclusion Principle Each orbital can be occupied by no more than two
electrons.
Hund’s Rule When more than one orbital exists of the same en-
ergy (p, d, and f orbitals), place one electron in each orbital
