Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms
Section 4.1
 Wave-Particle Nature of Light
1. Electromagnetic Radiation
-a form of energy that exhibits wavelike
behavior as it travels through space
- moves at 3.0 x 1010 cm/s in a vacuum
- wavelength (λ): the distance between
corresponding pointson adjacent waves
- frequency (ν): the number of waves that pass a
given point in a specific amount of time
-
c = λν
where: c is the speed of light
3.0 x 108 m/s
λ is the wavelength
ν is the frequency

- continuous spectrum: a spectrum in which all
wavelengths within a given range are
included
- electromagnetic spectrum: consists of all
electromagnetic radiation, arranged
according to increasing wavelength
2. Light as particles
 material does not burn
a. glows red
b. changes to yellow then white
c. visible colors
 photoelectric effect : the emission of electrons
by certain metals when light shines on them
 Quantum: a finite quantity of energy that can be
gained or lost by an atom
 Planck
1. proposed a relationship between a quantum of
energy and the frequency of radiation
2. E = hv
where: E = energy of radiation
h = Plank’s constant
6.626 x 10-34 Js
3. photon: an individual quantum of light
4. ground state: state of lowest energy of an atom
5. excited state: a state in which it has a higher
potential energy atom
Ex. When atoms in a gaseous state are heated;
the potential energy increases, return, give
off the added energy in the electromagnetic
radiation
Ex. Continued: neon signs and fireworks
We can show this on different line spectrum or lineemission spectrum.
Each of the colored lines is produced by light of a
different wavelength.
 The different representative lines
 Bohr Model
1. First model of the electron structure
2. Gives levels where an electron is most likely
to be found
3. Incorrect today, but a key in understanding
the atom
 Section 4.2
 Quantum Model of the Atom
1. Describes mathematically the wave properties
of electrons and other very small particles
2. dual wave-particle nature of light
3. orbital: a three-dimensional region about the
nucleus in which a particular electron can be
located
 Review characteristics of electrons
1. extremely small mass
2. located outside the nucleus
3. moving at extremely high speeds in a sphere
4. have specific energy levels
5. when atoms are heated: bright lines appear
6. arranged in discrete levels
7. absorbs energy to “jump: to a higher energy level
8. falls to a lower level, energy is emitted
9.

of energy
loss of energy
Electron levels (shells)
 Contain electrons that are similar in energy and
distance from nucleus
 Low energy electrons are closest to the nucleus
 Identify by numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6……
 The first shell (1) is lowest in energy, 2nd level is
next 1<2<3<4…..
Number of electrons
 Maximum number of electrons in any electron

Electron configuration
Notation
 Longhand configuration:
Examples:
S 16 eCa 20 e-
 Shorthand configuration:
Use the preceding Noble gas in [ ]
Examples:
S 16 e-
Ca 20 e-
 Hund’s Rule
Orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one
electron before any one orbital is occupied by a
second electron
 Pauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in the same atom can have the
same set of four quantum numbers.
 Examples:
S 16 e-
Ca 20 e-
Exceptions
 s1 : one electron leaves the “s” and goes to the “d”
: Nb, Cr, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Cu, Ag, Au, Pt
: examples: Cr #24
[Ar] 4s2 3d4 unstable
__ __ __ __ __ __
[Ar] 4s1 3d5 more stable

Section 4.3
Quantum numbers
 Four quantum numbers
“Specifies the address of each electron in an
atom”
1. Principal Quantum Number (n)
 Energy level
 Size of the orbital
2. Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l)
 energy sublevel
 shape of the orbital

0 1 2 3
s p d f
3. Magnetic quantum number (m)
 Indicates the orientation of an orbital about
the nucleus
 s ____
0
p ___ ____ ____
-1
0
+1
d ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
-2 -1 0 +1 +2
f ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
-3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3
4. Spin quantum number (s)
 Indicates two possible states of an electron in
an orbital.
  = +1/2
 = -1/2
 Ex. Write the configuration for P #15, determine
the quantum numbers for the third and seventh
electron.
 State the element whose last electron has the
following quantum number’s
n = 5 l = 2 m= 0 s = +1/2
 Magnetism:
1. Diamagnetism: the property of a substance
whereby it is weakly repelled by a magnetic
field
ex. Full electrons
2. Paramagnetism: a weak attraction between
magnetic fields and substances whose atoms
have uneven electron distribution
ex. Not full electrons
 Section 4.4
 Electron Dot Structure
1. Keeps track of valence electron
2. Valence electrons: outermost electrons
3. Octet rule: has eight valence electrons
: it is stable
4. symbol:
X
 Examples:
1. Na #11
2. Cl #17
3. Ba #56
4. P #15
