In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered electrons which he named ______
corpuscles
- It shows the atom as composed of electrons scattered throughout a spherical cloud of positive charge
-Recognize electrons as components of atoms
-No nucleus, didn’t explain
Plum Pudding Model
Joseph John Thomson
1904
-His theory stated that atoms are indivisible, those of a given
Elements are identical, and compounds are combinations of different types of atoms
- Recognized atoms of a particular element differ from to other
-Atoms are not indivisible, composed of subatomic particles
SOLID SPHERE MODEL
(JOHN DALTON 1803)
-Fired positively charged alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil. Most passed through with a little deflection, but some
deflected at large angles
-This was only possible if the atom was mostly empty space, with
a positive charge concentrated in the center: the nucleus
-Realize positive charge was localized in the nucleus of an atom
-Did not explain why electrons remain in orbit around the nucleus
NUCLEAR MODEL (ERNEST RUTHERFORD 1911)
-Modified rutherford’s model of the atom by stating that electrons move around the nucleus in orbits of fixed sizes and
energies.
-Electron energy in this model was quantized; electrons
could not occupy values of energy between the fixed energy
levels
-Proposed stable electron orbits explain the emission spectra of some elements
-Moving electrons should emit energy and collapse into the nucleus, model did not work well for heavier atoms
PLANETARY MODEL
(Neils Bohr 1913)
Proponent stated that electrons do not move in set paths around the nucleus, but in waves. It is impossible to know the
exact location of the electrons; instead, you have clouds of probability called orbitals, in which we are more likely to find an electron
Shows electrons didn’t move around the nucleus in orbits but in clouds where their position is uncertain
Still widely accepted as most accurate model of the atom
QUANTUM MODEL (ERWIN SCHRODINGER 1926)
Clouds of probability is called
Orbitals
ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Atoms is a spherical mass containing electrons and that this spherical mass is positive but is made neutral by the electrons embedded in it.
Aka Plum Pudding Model
THOMSON MODEL
ATOMIC STRUCTURE
In this model, protons are in the nucleus and the electrons are in
the orbital motion around the nucleus Electrons may be found in any several definite orbits around the
nucleus
BOHR MODEL OF AN ATOM
ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Atoms are elliptical orbits of increasing number
RUTHERFORD-BOHR MODEL
This principle states that simultaneous determination of the exact position and exact momentum of electron is impossible
HEISENBURG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE
Aka Electron Cloud Model
In this model, the nucleus is a single cluster of particles at the center of the atom while the electrons are everywhere
Has dense positive charge nucleus at the center and electrons still have a distinct amount of energy which are usually place outside the nucleus
The electrons are not orbiting the nucelus in definite or fixed pathways. Instead of orbiting, the electrons are placed in orbitals outside the nucleus (electrons are still orbiting the nucelus but not in fixed pathways)
WAVE MECHANICAL ATOM
This theory makes the assertion that electromagnetic radiation like X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves and light rays are made up of small bits of energy
SCHRODINGER “QUANTUM MODEL”
states that no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers
Pauli’s Exclusion Principle
○ corresponds to main energy levels
○ described the size of the orbital
Principal Quantum Number (n)
or angular momentum quantum number (can give and measure angular momentum of an electron and its motion around the nucleus)
○described the shape of orbital
Azithmuthal Quantum Number (l)
○indicate the behavior of electrons in the magentic field
○described the orientation in space of a particular orbital
Magnetic Quantum Number (m)
○indicate the spin of an electron about its own axis in clockwise or counterclockwise
Spin Quantum Number (s)
ATOMIC STRUCTURE
This theory states that the number of orbital types in a given shell is equal to the shell number
Orbitals have a three-dimensional region in space where the probability of finding the electron is greatest
ORBITAL THEORY
○orbitals with the same electron of same energy level must be filled in singly before pairing
Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity
ATOMIC STRUCTURE
According to this theory:
1st - 4th main energy level
ELECTRON CONFIGURATION THEORY
states that atoms may be built by progressively filling the main energy levels, sub levels and orbitals with electrons according to increasing level
*** levels of lower energy level are occupied first
AUFBAU PRINCIPLE
○the values are from 0 to n - 1
Azithmuthal QN
the value range from -1 to +1
Magnetic Quantum Number
1-4th Energy Level = Maximum number of electrons
1st = 2e
2nd = 8e
3rd = 18e
4th = 32e
equal to the number of protons and electrons
