Issues with Bohrs Model
Electrons don’t have fixed pathways
Ground state of electrons
Electron in its lowest energy level
Excited state of electron
Electron has absorbed energy and “jumped” to a higher energy level, farther from the nucleus
Emission Spectra
Emission of light from electronically excited gas atoms
Electromagnetic spectrum in order
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays
Which color of light has the most energy?
Violet
Which color of light has the least energy?
Red
What are the four types of orbitals
S, P, D, F
Shape of s-orbital
Sphere
Shape of p-orbital
Dumbell
What PEL does the s-orbital exist at?
All PEL’s
What PEL does the p-orbital exist at?
2 and greater
What PEL does the d-orbital exist at?
3 and greater
What PEL does the f-orbital exist at?
4 and greater
Aufbau Principle
Fill lowest energy levels first
Hunds Rule
All orbitals must be occupied with one electron before electrons can pair
Pauli Exclusion Principle
If 2 electrons occupy the same orbital, then they must have opposite spins
