Weirdness: de Broglie’s Equation• De Broglie’s equation
predicts the wavelength (λ) of an electron of mass m that has a velocity v, where h is Planck’s Constant (6.626 x 10^-34 Js)
• What does this mean? It means that ANY moving object is described by, and acts as a wave.
• For everyday objects, the wavelengths are just too small to notice!!!

Heisenberg's Insight• Heisenberg added to
Schrödinger's insights by realizing that, by measuring the location of a small particle such as an electron, we necessarily affect its location and velocity.
• This means we can never know exactly where or how fast a small particle is moving.
• It’s like measuring the location and velocity of a moving car by smashing another car into it. It changes things!!!
![Page 4: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Imagine that you're blind and over time you've developed a technique for determining how far away an object is by throwing a medicine ball at it. If you throw your medicine ball at a nearby stool, the ball will return quickly, and you'll know that it's close. If you throw the ball at something across the street from you, it'll take longer to return, and you'll know that the object is far away.
The problem is that when you throw a ball -- especially a heavy one like a medicine ball -- at something like a stool, the ball will knock the stool across the room and may even have enough momentum to bounce back. You can say where the stool was, but not where it is now. What's more, you could calculate the velocity of the stool after you hit it with the ball, but you have no idea what its velocity was before you hit it.
This is the problem revealed by Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. To know the velocity of a quark we must measure it, and to measure it, we are forced to affect it. The same goes for observing an object's position. Uncertainty about an object's position and velocity makes it difficult for a physicist to determine much about the object.

…And Schrödinger's Wave Equation
• Schrödinger put it all together and created the equation that tells us the probability of finding an electron in a certain space…because that is all we can accurately measure.
![Page 6: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So what does all this mean?
• It means that when we talk about the structure of an atom, we talk about orbitals and probabilities…And we have a set of symbols that represent all of these characteristics of the electrons in an atom. They are called the quantum numbers.
![Page 7: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom
• Bohr’s “orbit” or “running track” model of the atom only works for hydrogen, so it’s mostly wrong.
• Electron orbits are like waves on a string. – (This is super weird!)
![Page 8: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
There are 4 quantum numbers:
• n, l, ml, ms
– n = size/energy– l = shape– ml = orientation
• (up, down, forward, diagonal, etc. )
– ms = spin (up or down)
![Page 9: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
n = principle energy level
• n = the size and energy of the orbital– Like the floor of a
building– Higher numbers are
bigger and higher in energy.
– n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
![Page 10: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
l = sublevel
• l = shape• l = s, p, d, f
– s = 2 electrons– p = 6 electrons– d = 10 electrons– f= 14 electrons
• Sublevels are like wings on a floor in a building
• l = n-1– 0, 1, 2,…n-1
![Page 11: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ml = magnetic quantum #
• Gives orientation in space– Up/down, front/back,
left/right, diagonal, etc.
• ml = -l to +l
![Page 12: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ms = e- spin
• ms = electron “spin”• +1/2 or -1/2 only
![Page 13: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Electron Configuration
• An electron configuration is a list of the orbitals occupied by electrons in an element.
• It gives you all of the quantum numbers, and each electron has its own unique set of 4 numbers
![Page 14: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rules, rules, rules…
• There are 3 rules you need to remember in writing an electron configuration:
– Aufbau Principle– The Pauli Exclusion Principle– Hund’s Rule
![Page 15: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Aufbau Principle
• Electrons like to be in the lowest energy state possible…their “ground state.”
![Page 16: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hund’s Rule• Electrons like to spread out• Every orbital in a subshell
must be occupied by one electron before doubling any up, and all of the electrons in the separate subshells must have the same spin.
• Everybody on the hotel floor wants their own room, and they all want to sleep facing the same direction.
![Page 17: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pauli Exclusion Principle
• “[N]o two electrons in a single atom can have the same four quantum numbers; if n, l, and ml are the same, ms must be different such that the electrons have opposite spins, and so on.” (Wkipedia, Pauli Exclusion Principle)
• Electrons in the same room of the hotel want to sleep facing different directions!!

Electron Configurations: The Easy Way
1. Determine the number of electrons in the atom or ion.
2. Count that many boxes along the periodic table showing the orbitals.
3. Each box is worth one electrons in an orbital.
4. Write down all the orbitals you passed.
5. Make sure the superscripts equal the number of electrons.
Remember:s = 2 electron maxp = 6 electrons maxd = 10 electrons maxF = 14 electrons max
Fe (26 electrons) =

You can use the periodic table…
![Page 21: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
…or the electron configuration diagram
![Page 22: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Practice
1. Neutral Sodium (Na)– 11 protons– 11 electrons– Count along the periodic table…– 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 (superscripts add up to 11!!)
Remember:s = 2 electron maxp = 6 electrons maxd = 10 electrons maxF = 14 electrons max
![Page 23: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Practice
1. Sodium ion (Na+)– 11 protons– 10 electrons (1 less than protons!!)– Count along the periodic table…– 1s2 2s2 2p6 (superscripts add up to 10!!)
• Note: this is also the electron configuration for [Ne]!
Remember:s = 2 electron maxp = 6 electrons maxd = 10 electrons maxF = 14 electrons max
![Page 24: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
There is also a short cut using noble gases. Noble gases are the elements on the far right of
the periodic table…
![Page 25: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The shortcut is called noble gas notation.
• Just take the last noble gas that you passed, write the symbol in brackets, and then complete the configuration that comes after that noble gas!
![Page 26: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example1. Noble Gas configuration for Ca
– 20 protons– 20 electrons– Count along the periodic table…– The last noble gas before Ca is Argon (Ar)– So the noble gas configuration is:
• [Ar] 4s2 -- Agon’s configuration + 4s2
Remember:s = 2 electron maxp = 6 electrons maxd = 10 electrons maxF = 14 electrons max

Irregular configurations of Cr and Cu
Chromium steals a 4s electron to half fill its 3d sublevel
Copper steals a 4s electron to FILL its 3d sublevel
Wait!! There are always exceptions…

Valence Electrons• Involved in chemical reactions. When 2 atoms
approach each other, they only see each other’s outer most electrons.
• Valence electrons are the s and p electrons from the highest energy level (outermost).
• You will never have more than 8 valence electrons.
• Ex: Ge atomic #321s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p2
![Page 30: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p2
• Step 1: Find the highest energy level.
Step 2: Count the number of s and p electrons in that level. Those represent your valence electrons!
Did you say 4?
There are 2 “s” and 2 “p” electrons for a total of 4.
[Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p2OR

For Example: Electron Dot Structures
![Page 32: Atomic Orbitals](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56813c69550346895da5f9db/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We determine electron dot structures by looking at the valence electrons ONLY. For example….
• Selenium (Se) has the following electron configuration: – 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p4
• The outermost energy level for selenium is the ____________ level.
• The valence electrons, therefore, are:– 4s24p4 (6 electrons total)– ONLY COUNT THE s AND p ELECTRONS!!!!
• Thus, the electron dot structure is:
