Bohr Model?
Model of electrons circling the nucleus in certain paths, orbits, or atomic energy levels (created in 1913)
Electrons..
are higher in energy the further away from the nucleus
Electrons…
cannot be between orbits
Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle states..
it’s impossible to know the exact position and motion of an object at the same time
How does one see an electron?
By hitting it with a photon, causing a change in the velocity and momentum of the electron
Memorize
The act of measuring affects the particle being measured
Who proposed the Uncertainty Principle?
Werner Heisenburg
Schrodinger Wave Equation
Made an equation defining probability clouds or orbitals, where electrons have probability of being found (created in 1926)
What other point does Schrodinger’s Wave Equation mention?
That there are no neat orbits.
Atoms release of discrete wavelengths in a specific characteristic set is called
an emission spectrum
How are emission spectrums produced?
By excited electrons dropping from the excited state to lower energy levels
Remember
Possible electrons dropping states is different for each element (emission spec.)
Remember
There are different emission spectrums for each element due to different electron dropping states
Remember
Emission spectrums can be used to identify an element
How are electrons organized in atoms?
By energy levels, sublevels, and orbitals
S
1 orbital, spherical shape, and found in energy levels 1 and above (least energy)
P
3 orbitals, dumbbell shape, and found in energy levels 2 and above
D
5 orbitals, double dumbbell shape, and found in energy levels 3 and above
F
7 orbitals, complex shape, and found in energy levels 4 and above (most energy)
Each orbital contains…
2 electrons
Maximum number of electrons for an energy level is
2n^2
The first energy level can hold
2 electrons
The second energy level can hold
8 electrons
The third energy level can hold
18 electrons
