Transcript of 7 .1: Electromagnetic Radiation
7.1: Electromagnetic Radiation • Types of Electromagnetic Radiation: Gamma, X-ray, UV, visible,
IR, micro, radioProperties of Electromagnetic Waves:Wavelength ( λ ) : • Distance Between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave • Measured in meters
Frequency (ν) • Number of waves that pass a given point per second• Measured in Hertz
Speed (c) • Speed of light• Measured in meters/ second
Relationship Between PropertiesShortest wavelength = highest frequency Longest wavelength = lowest frequency INVERSE RELATIONSHIP
7.2 The Nature of MatterMax Plank & Quantum Theory: Energy is gained/lost in whole numbers multiples of the quantity hv ( frequency=v, Planck’s constant =h) Planck’s Constant: h = 6.62606957 × 10-34 m2 kg / s ( J/s)Planck discovered that energy is transferred to matter in packets of energy called quantum, rather than energy of matter being continuous.

7.2: The Dual Nature of Matter• Dual Nature of Light: • Light travels through space as a wave• Light transmits energy as a particle• Particles have wavelength, exhibited by diffraction patterns
• De Broglie’s Equation: Allows calculation of wavelength for a particle • λ = h/mv• Diffraction: results when light is scattered from a regular array of
points or lines • Diffraction Patterns: The interference pattern that results when a wave
or a series of waves undergoes diffraction, as when passed through a diffraction grating or the lattices of a crystal. The pattern provides information about the frequency of the wave and the structure of the material causing the diffraction.
7.3: The Atomic Structure of HydrogenContinuous Spectrum: results when white light is passed through a prism. Contains all wavelengths of visible light Line Spectrum: only see a few lines, each of which corresponds to discrete wavelength when passed thorough a prism. (Hydrogen emission spectrum)
7.4: The Bohr Model • Quantum Model : electron in a hydrogen atom moves
around the nucleus only in certain allowed circular orbits • Bright line spectra confirms that only certain energies exist
in the atom, and atom emits photons with definite wavelengths when the electron returns to a lower energy state. • Energy levels available to the electron in the hydrogen atom: • n= an integer• z= nuclear charge• J= energy in Joules
7.4: The Bohr Model • Calculating the energy of the emitted photon• Calculate electron energy in outer level• Calculate electron energy in inner level • Calculate the change in the energy • ΔΕ= energy of final state- energy of initial state
• hc/ ΔΕ : to calculate the wavelength of emitted photon
• Energy Change in Hydrogen atoms • Calculate the energy change between any two energy levels:
• Limitations of the Bohr Model• Bohr’s model does not work for atoms other than hydrogen• Electrons do not move in circular orbits
7.5: Quantum Mechanical Model• Electron bound to nucleus similar to standing waves• The exact path of the electron is not known• Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle- a limitation to the position and
momentum of a particle at a given time
Physical Meaning of ψ- Square of the function is the probability of finding an electron near a
particular point- Represented as a probability distribution- aka electron density map, electron density, electron probability
Radial Probability DistributionSince the orbital size cannot be calculated, the size of the orbital is the radius of the sphere that an electron is in for 90% of the time
7.6: Quantum NumbersPrincipal quantum number (n)• Main energy level• 1, 2, 3, …• Size and energy of orbital• When n increases: orbital becomes larger, electron is further
from the nucleus, higher energy b/c electron is less tightly bound to the nucleus so the energy is less negative
Angular momentum quantum number/Azimuthal QN (l)• Sublevels, subshell• 0...n-1 for each value of n• Shape of atomic orbitals
Magnetic quantum number ()• Integral values from l to –l • Orientation of the orbital in space
7.7: Orbital Shapes and Energiess Orbitals• Spherical shape• Nodes for s orbitals of n=2 or greaterp Orbitals• Two lobes each• Occur in levels n=2 and greater • Each orbital lies along an axis d Orbitals• Occur in levels n=3 or greater • Four orbitals with four lobes each centered in the plane indicated in the orbital label• Fifth orbital has two lobes along z axis and a belt centered in the xy plane f Orbitals• Occur in levels n=4 and greater• Complex shapes• Usually not involved in bonding in compounds
Size of orbital:• Defined as the surface that contains
9-% of the total electron probability.• As n increases orbitals of the same
shape grow larger.
Orbital Energies• All orbitals with the same value of n have the same energy for hydrogen atoms
(Degenerate)• The lowest energy state = ground state• When the atom absorbs energy the electrons can move to higher energy orbitals
• “excited state”
7.8: Electron Spin & the Pauli Principle
• Electron Spin Quantum Number• An orbital can only hold two electrons, must have
opposite spins.• Spin can have +1/2 or -1/2
• Pauli Exclusion Principal • In a given atom no two electrons can have the same set
of four quantum numbers
7.9: Polyatomic AtomsPolyatomic Atoms: Atoms with more than one electron 3 energy contributions must be considered in description of the atom:
1) Kinetic energy of electrons as they move around the nucleus 2) Potential energy of attraction between nucleus and electrons3) The potential energy of repulsion between the two electrons
Electron correlation problem: Electron pathways are not known, so electron repulsive forces cannot be calculated exactly • Average repulsions are approximated by...• Treat each electron as it were moving in a field of charge that is
the net result of the nuclear attraction and average repulsions of all other electrons
Screening or Shielding• Electrons are attracted to the nucleus • Electrons are repulsed by other electrons• Electrons would be bound more tightly if other electrons weren’t
presentCloser proximity to the nucleus = lower energy
7.10 History of the periodic table
• Originally constructed to represent patterns observed in chemical properties of elements
• Mendeleev and Meyer both independently conceived present periodic table
• Mendeleev also corrected several atomic masses
7.11: Aufbau Principle & the Periodic Table Aufbau Principle: “As protons are added one by one to the nucleus to build up elements, electrons are similarly added to these hydrogen like orbitals” Hunds Rule: “The lowest energy configuration for an atom is the one having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowed by Pauli principle in a particular set of degenerate orbitals
Periodic Table Vocab: Valence electrons: electrons in outermost principal quantum level of an atom Transition metals: “d” BlockLanthanide and Actinide Series : “f” blockRepresentative Elements: Group 1A through 8AMetalloids: Border between metals and nonmetals, exhibit properties of both
7.12 Periodic Trends in Atomic PropertiesIonization energy: energy required to remove an electron from an atomic (increase across period, decreases with increasing atomic number within a group) Electron affinity: energy change associated with the addition of an electron (decrease down period, increase across period)Atomic Radius: Determination of radius (increases down group, decreases across period)
7.13: The Properties of a Group: Alkali Metals• Easily lose valence electrons • Reducing agents• React with water • Large hydration energy• Positive ionic charge
