Exam 2 Lecture 7 Flashcards
The deBroglie wavelength of matter The deBroglie wavelength of matte
h=6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s
lower case v is “velocity”

Who is this guy?
What did he discover?

Werner Heisenberg
The dual nature of matter (a particle and a wave) places limitations on the preciseness with which we can know both the location and the momentum (mass x velocity) of an object

IF you can Know location precisely,
then momentum is uncertain
If you can Know momentum precisely,
then location is uncertain
Earth Wavelength
miniscule

baseball wavelength
moderate

electron wavelength
relatively moderate

Who is this guy?
What does he say about electrons?

Erwin Schrodinger
The behavior of the electron is better described b y g focusin g on it’s wavelike p p ro perties
An orbit:
a defined, known pathway
An orbital:

Name Irregular Electron Configurations in periods 4 and 5
Cr, Cu, Mo, Ag
1
Explain what is Cr’s electron configuration?
Why is it different?
migh predict: [Ar]4s23d4
actually: [AR]4s13d5
Cr would rather have a full spin party than a ful s orbital.

Explain what is Cu’s electron configuration?
Why is it different?
migh predict: [Ar]4s23d9
actually: [AR]4s13d10
Cr would rather have a full spin party than a full s orbital.
