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 Js
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.
gain
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…..

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

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
