atomic mass
atomic mass =
protons + neutrons
neutrons =
atomic mass - protons
electrons =
protons = electrons
unless element has a charge then sub or add the charge
bohr model of the atom
1913 Niels Bohr created the first working model of hydrogen atom
- as energy moves up the next shell , the shell gets smaller and further from the nucleus
what is quantization ?
the concept that a physical quantity, like energy, can only exist in discrete, specific values
what are electrons ?
they zoom through 3D atomic or molecular orbitals
4 types of orbital
S,P,D,F
s orbital
shaped like spheres. not 2D circle. low energy orbitals are buried inside the higher energy orbitals
p orbitals
shaped like dumbbells. each energy level has 3 p orbitals (horizontal, vertical and diagonal )
when we say 2p shell we refer to 3 separate p orbitals
d orbitals
looks like a 4 leaf clover. there are 5 diff d orbitals per shell.
transition metals
are bright colored because they have a funky d orbital shaped that allows electrons in the d orbitals to absorb colored light and promote higher energy orbitals within d shell
f orbitals
they have 7 diff shapes.
s block
2 columns wide. 1 s orbital per shell
