A

began cathode-ray studies

70
Q

JJ Thompson experiment

A

exposed cathode ray to electric field
-beam attracted to positive plate in electric field

repeated the experiment with different metals and gases, got the same results

71
Q

JJ Thompson conclusions

A

beam composed of negatively charged (e-) particles

amount of deflection a charged particles experiences in an electric field depends on the ratio of the particle’s charge to its mass

larger ratio = greater deflection

atoms are electrically neutral and contain positive and negatively-charged (e-) particles

A

almost all mass in an atom is in the nucleus

cloud of e- makes up most of the volume in an atom, contributes little to its mass

e- move rapidly, held by the attraction of the nucleus

81
Q

mass spectrometry

A

measures masses of atoms and relative abundances

separates particles according to mass

82
Q

how does a mass spectrometer work?

A

-atoms are injected and vaporized
-vaporized atoms are ionized by e- beam
-removes e-
-ions accelerated into magnetic field
-ions experience force that bends trajectory
-lighter ions are bent more easily

83
Q

what part of dalton’s theory is now incorrect?

A

-atoms aren’t indivisible
-not all atoms of the same element are exactly the same, they can differ in the number of neutrons (isotopes)

84
Q

Why did Rutherford believe that the nucleus was so small compared to the size of the atom itself?

A

-Most alpha particles pass through the gold foil showing that most of the volume of the atom is empty space
-Only a few particles bounced back from the tiny, dense nucleus

85
Q

Rutherford describes the results of his experiment with this phrase: “It was almost as incredible as if you had fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you”. To what parts of the gold foil experiment was he referring to when he used this analogy?

Q

photoelectric effect

A

einsteins theory that used quantum mechanics to explain:
-metals emit electrons when a light shines on their surface
-light is composed of photons

100
Q

photons

A

discrete packets of energy

101
Q

Bohr discoveries

A

energy is quantized

hydrogen emitted four colored lines

different elements had their own patterns
H only has certain allowed energy levels, each corresponds to a circular orbit of a fixed size

larger orbits = greater energy

as long as an electron moves into an allowed state, the electron doesn’t radiate or absorb energy

an electron can only move from one allowed orbit to another if it absorbs/emits an amount of energy exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits

102
Q

emission spectrum

spectrum released by each element

103
Q

Bohrs postulates

A

-quantize energies for e- in H

each allowed energy state is given an integer number “n” with allowed values from 1-infinity

105
Q

ground state

106
Q

excited states

A

larger orbits

107
Q

issues with Bohr’s model

A

didn’t work with atoms of more than one e-

did not know why energy levels existed

108
Q

DeBroglie’s ideas

A

-matter is wave-like
-foundation for theories of e-‘s fixed energy levels
-a whole-number multiple of wavelengths must fit into radius of an atom

109
Q

DeBroglie’s conclusion

A

the only allowed orbits for e- are those whose size (and energy) allows for an e- wave to be maintained

in the atomic world, we can’t tell the difference between waves and particles

110
Q

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle

A

impossible to locate an e- or where its going

-trying to measure this will cause the e- to change significantly

111
Q

Schrodinger’s Equation purpose

A

predicts the future behavior of a dynamic system

112
Q

orbitals

A

3D regions where there is a high probability of finding an electron

113
Q

What does it mean when we say that something is “quantized”?

A

It can only be absorbed or emitted in discrete “packets” or quantities

114
Q

Why was Planck’s theory not accepted by most physicists at first?

A

The behavior of waves and particles was seen as different and this was supported by experimental evidence and the mathematics of the time

115
Q

According to Planck, could an amount of energy equal to 2.5hv be emitted by an object?

A

No, energy can only be emitted in whole-number quantities

116
Q

What finally led to Planck’s theory being accepted?

A

The discovery of the photoelectric effect. Einstein wrote a paper that used quantum theory to explain the photoelectric effect

117
Q

Describe the appearance of hydrogen’s emission spectrum

A

There are four lines forming a noncontinuous spectrum. The lines are red (lowest energy), blue-green, blue and violet (highest energy)

118
Q

Briefly describe how electrons generate each visible line in hydrogen’s emission spectrum

A

Each line represents an excited electron falling from a higher energy level to a lower energy level (n=2). The further the electron falls, the higher the energy of the light emitted.
Red: electrons fall from n=3 to n=2
Blue-green: electrons fall from n=4 to n=2
Blue: electrons fall from n=5 to n=2
Violet: electrons fall from n=6 to n=2

119
Q

Why doesn’t hydrogen’s visible emission spectrum exhibit a continuous spectrum?

A

An electron can only emit light when it moves from one allowed orbit to another. It emits an amount of light equal to the energy difference between the two orbits

120
Q

Which electron transitions in the emission spectrum, generate lines in the UV region of the electromagnetic spectrum

A

n = 6 to n = 1

121
Q

List the six types of radiation in order from lowest energy to highest energy.

A

infrared, red, blue-green, blue, violet, ultraviolet

122
Q

What important concept concerning atomic structure was Bohr’s theory responsible for?

A

Concept of fixed atomic energy levels

123
Q

Why did Bohr’s model need to be replaced?

A

It didn’t work for atoms with more than one electron

124
Q

How were the Bohr and De Broglie pictures of the electron different?

A

Bohr knew that energy levels existed but didn’t know why
De Broglie proposed a theoretical foundation for fixed energy levels that involved looking at the wave properties of particles

125
Q

How did Heisenberg and Schrodinger see the electron differently?

A

Heisienberg’s theory treated the electron as a particle with quantum behavior
Schrodinger’s theory describe the wave properties of electron using mathematical equations

126
Q

According to quantum mechanics, how can “throwing dice” apply to electron behavior?

A

Both use probability. Just as we can calculate the probability of throwing a 1,2 3,4,5, or 6 on a dice, we can also calculate the probability of finding an electron in a region of three-dimensional space.

127
Q

Contrast Bohr’s electron orbit with the quantum mechanical electron orbital

A

Bohr: electrons follow fixed paths around the nucleus (planetary model)
QMT: probability volume shows where we are likely to find an electron around the nucelus

128
Q

Schrodinger’s Equation conclusion

A

the higher the energy, the greater the number and types of orbitals present

137
Q

magnetic quantum number (ml)

A

orientation of the orbital in space around nucleus

Number of possible orientations =number of individual orbitals in the sublevel (s=1, p=3, d=5 etc.)

Values from +l to –l. Ex:

s sublevel: ml = 0 (1 orbital)

p sublevel: ml = -1, 0, +1 (3 orbitals)

Q

Pauli Exclusion Principle

A

no two electrons in the same atom can have be described the same set of quantum numbers.

Two electrons in the same atomic orbital will have

the same first three quantum numbers.

opposite spins so their fourth quantum numbers are different.

The total number of orbitals existing in any energy level, n is equal to n2.

If two electrons can occupy each orbital, the maximum number of electrons that can exist in any energy level, n, is given by 2n2.

145
Q

State what each of the first three quantum numbers tell us about atomic orbitals

A

n: principal quantum number-relative size of the orbital and allowed energy states for the electron
l: number of different orbital shapes (sublevels) in an energy level
ml : orientation in space of an orbital

146
Q

What is the difference between a 1s and a 2s orbital? What does that difference indicate about an electron possessing energy equal to n=2, compared to n=1?

A

2s orbital is larger and further away from the nucleus than the 1s orbital
An electron in n=2 has more energy than an electron in n=2

147
Q

What are the two differences between a 2px and a 3py orbital?

A

The 3py orbital is located further from the nucleus and has a different orientation in space when compared with a 2px orbital

148
Q

The lobes of a p-orbital disappear at the nucleus. What does this tell us about electrons in p-orbitals?

A

There is zero probability of finding an electron in the nucleus in p-orbitals

149
Q

How many different orbitals are available to an excited hydrogen atom in the fourth energy level?

A

16

150
Q

What does the fourth quantum number tell us about electrons?

A

the spin of the electron-up or down (+1/2 or -1/2)

151
Q

For n=3, determine the number of allowed sublevels (different values of l) and give the designation of each

A

Value of l = 0 to n-1. For n=3, the value of l is 0-2.
There can be up to 3 sublevels in n=3 designated as: l=0 (s), l=1 (p), l= 2 (d)

152
Q

Why can’t two electrons in the same orbital have the same four quantum numbers?

A

When two electrons occupy the same orbital, they must have opposite spins so ms for one electron is -1/2 and for the other electron is +1/2

153
Q

What is the maximum number of electrons that can exist in the energy levels n=1 through n=4?

A

n=1, two electrons n=2, 8 electrons n=3, 18 electrons
n=4, 32 electrons
Total = 60 electrons

154
Q

Explain why the 4s sublevel has a lower energy than the 3d sublevel

A

The 3d sublevel has 5 orbitals while the 4s only has one orbital.
Electron-electron repulsions in the five 3d orbitals give these orbitals a higher energy than the repulsions between the two electrons in the 4s orbital.

155
Q

Aufbau principle

A

when filling orbitals, lowest energy orbitals are always filled first

156
Q

electron configuration

A

format n (energy level) l (sublevel) #e- (number of electrons)

ex. H is 1s1

157
Q

Hund’s rule

A

when orbitals of equal energy are filled, most stable configuration has the maximum number of unpaired electrons with the same spin

164
Q

Silver has the condensed electron configuration [Kr] 5s1 4d10. This is not the configuration expected based on electron filling (using the diagonal rule). Write the expected electron configuration. Explain the anomalous behavior.

A

[Kr] 5s2 4d 9

A filled d-sublevel is lower energy (more stable) than a partially-filled d-sublevel
When Ag forms an ion it does so by losing a 5s electron rather than a 4d electron. This leaves it with a filled 4d sublevel
