Unit 7- Electrons Flashcards
Hund’s rule
Electrons fill one per orbital in the same sublevel before pairing up
-If they have the option, they will pick another orbital rather than join an orbital where they have to share with another electron
Thompson model
- 1870
- Plum pudding with the one positive charge and multiple negative charges
Electrons are place in orbitals of lowest energy was first stated by
Aufbau
What aspects of Bohr’s model did we change
- Electrons do not move around in predictable paths
- Shapes of orbitals are not all circular
Color speed relationship
All are the same
3.00x 10^8 m/s
How do you tell how big an electron jump is
The bigger the electron jump, the bigger the energy
What color has the longest wavelength
Red
Pauli Exclusion principal
Maximum 2 electrons per orbital with opposite spins
How do energy and wavelength relate
They are opposites
-With high energy, there is low wavelength
JJ Thompson discovery
- Energy is moved by a magnet-> energy beam has a negative charge
- “something” has mass
- Particle
- Subparticle inside an atom (metal)
- Plum pudding model (pudding is positive and plums are negative)
Most stable orbitals
- Completely filled up P orbitals
- Completely filled other orbitals (D,S,F)
- Exactly half filled orbitals
Problems with Bohr
- Heisenberg Uncertainty principle: 1920’s
- It is impossible to know both the location and velocity of electrons
- We are no longer looking for exact locations-> now we’re looking for where they are likely located “areas of probability” (90% of the time)
How do frequency and wavelength relate
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases as long as speed is maintained
- Wavelength times frequency equals speed of wave (3.00 times 10^8 meters per sec
- W times F = C
Wavelength
The distance between consecutive waves (represented by w or an upside down y)
Orbital notation rule
Electrons spread out before they pair up and pair up before they move up.
What orbital is shaped like a 4 leaf clover
D orbitals
