1A Atomic Structure Flashcards
Berzelius In vs Org
Vitalism: life/organs needed to make organics
Who proved vitalism wrong
Wohler
Who made atom theory
Dalton
An atom consists of
One nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud
What determines the size/radius of an atom
Electron cloud
Role of the nucleus
Accommodate nucleons and determine weight
Electron mass
1.602e-19 C
Mass of proton
1.673e-27 kg
Mass number
Protons + neutrons
Atomic number
Number of protons
What is an isotope
Nuclei with equal Z (atomic numbers)
What is an isobar
Nuclei with equal mass numbers (A)
What is an isotone
Nuclei with equal A - Z (mass - atomic)
What happens if there is high binding energy between nucleons
Significant mass defect
What is an electron to the Bohr model
Particles
What is an electron to the orbital models
Waves
Maximum occupancy in a shell for Bohr
2n^2 where n = 1 (K), 2 (L) etc
Bohr: Energy of electron depends on
Shell
Lyman series range
122 nm to 94 nm
Balmer series range
656 nm to 410 nm
Paschen series range
1875 nm to 1094 nm
Bohr: n is the…
She’ll number
What does the electron do in bohr
Circles in shells (orbits) around nucleus
Bohr: Can electrons exist between shells
Nope because they have discrete energy values
Bohr: Is it harder to remove an electron from K or L
4x harder to remove from K
Bohr: n can be interpreted as
Principal quantum number
Problems with the Bohr model
- Violates classic theories of electromagnetism
- Violates Heisenberg uncertainty principle
- Predictions for multi-e species wrong
- Struggles to explain relative emission intensities
- Fail to explain fine structure in spectral lines
