THE BOHR ATOM Flashcards
Although the Bohr model is not completely accurate, it can be used to explain
absorption and emission
Electrons move from low energy to higher energy orbits by
absorbing energy
Electrons move from high energy to lower energy orbits by
emitting energy
Electron energy is
quantized
the higher the wavelength, the lower the energy
the higher the energy, the lower the wavelength
n
principal quantum numbers
describes the energy level on which the orbital residue
- numbers greater than 0
Quantum Numbers
this quantum number defines the shape of the orbital
- allowed values of ranging 0 to n − 1
Azimuthal Quantum Number (l)
describes the three-dimensional orientation of the orbital
- values of integers ranging from -l to l
Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)
electrons in the same orbital do not have the same energy.
- upward or downward
Spin Quantum Number (ms)
sphere around the nucleus
1s orbital
the one that tells you that the electron is in the orbital closest to the nucleus
1s orbital
similar to 1s except the electron is most likely in the region farther from the nucleus
2s orbital
at the first energy level, there is only the 1s orbital, after the second energy level there are
2p orbitals
look like dumbells
p orbitals
distribution of all electrons in an atom
electron configurations
4p^5
what is 5?
superscript denoting the number of electrons in those orbitals
4p^5
what is p?
letter denoting the type of orbital
4p^5
what is 4?
number denoting the energy level
“For degenerate orbitals, the lowest energy is attained when the number of electrons with the same spin is maximized.”
Hund’s Rule
Filling Rules of Electron Orbitals
Electrons are added one at a time to the lowest energy orbitals available until all the electrons of the atom have been accounted for.
Aufbau Principle
Filling Rules for Electron Orbitals
An orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, to occupy the same orbital, two electrons must spin in opposite directions
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Filling Rules for Electron Orbitals
Electrons occupy equal-energy orbitals so that a maximum number of unpaired electrons results.
Hund’s Rule
when n = 1?
what are the possible values of l, subshell designation, ml, numbers of orbitals in subshell, total numbers of orbitals?
l = 0
subshell designation = 1s
ml = 0
numbers of orbitals in shell = 1
total number of orbs = 1
