Electrons in Atoms
Anything in black letters = write it in
your notes (‘knowts’)
5.1 – Revising the Atomic Model
Rutherford’s Planetary Model of the Atom
Electrons moving around a tiny nucleus
Problems with Rutherford’s Model
1.Did not explain the chemical properties of
the elements.
2.Did not explain atomic spectra (…later…)
3.e- would spiral into the nucleus, but they
don’t
The Bohr Model ~1913
Electrons are found only in specific locations
(or energy levels) around the nucleus.
To move from one energy level
to another, an e- must gain or
lose a quantum of energy.
Niels Bohr
The energy levels in atoms are
unequally spaced, like the rungs
in this unusual ladder. The higher
energy levels are closer together.
The Quantum Mechanical Model
The modern description of e- in atoms.
Similar to Bohr Model except the exact location
of an electron is impossible to know
Electrons are likely to be
found in electron ‘clouds’
around the nucleus
We will use the Bohr
model in this class…
Electron cloud
Atomic orbital –
Most probable place for e- to be.
Orbitals can hold 2 e- maximum.
The orbitals are named s, p, d & f
S (1 type)
p (3 types)
d (5 types)
There are 7 types of f orbitals
Don’t worry about these shapes…

A prism separates light into the colors it contains.
White light produces a rainbow of colors.

Light from a helium lamp produces discrete lines.

The lines that result are unique for each element
and are called its atomic emission spectrum.
Bohr’s Model explained the emission spectra
When an atom absorbs energy an electron jumps
to a higher energy level (excited state).
The electron returns to the lower energy level, emitting
a photon with a definite energy.
The photon’s energy shows up as a line in the emission
spectrum.
