  1. Quantum Atom

  2. Problem • Bohr model of the atom only successfully predicted the behavior of hydrogen • Good start, but needed refinement

  3. Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle • It is not possible to know both the position and momentum (mv) of an electron • Cannot assume that the electron is moving around the nucleus in a well-defined orbit as in the Bohr model

  4. Louis de Broglie • Suggested matter that is assumed to be of a particle nature, does have wavelike properties • Developed an equation for actually calculating this wavelength of matter • For very small particles, wavelength is significant

  5. Wave Function • Erwin Schrodinger developed a series of equations that describe the areas of probability of finding an electron • There are different values of these wave functions that occur at different energy levels • Wave function are called Orbitals

  6. Quantum Mechanics • Describes mathematically the properties of an electron • Shows regions of probability of finding an electron

  7. Quantum Numbers • Principal Quantum Number (n) – same as the Bohr energy level • Also called shells • Range from n=1 to n=7

  8. Subshell or Sublevel • Angular Momentum Number • Come in four types • s subshell (spherical) • p subshell (dumbbell) • d subshell (four lobes) • f subshell

  9. Orbital • Magnetic Quantum Number • These are the orbitals (hold 2 e- each) • Each sublevel may have more that one orbital with a different orientation in space • s ( 1 orbital) • p ( 3 orbitals) • d (5 orbitals) • f (7 orbitals)

  10. Degenerate Orbitals • Orbitals that have the same energies

  11. Electron Spin Number • Electron behaves as if it is spinning on its axis • Fourth Quantum number is the spin number

  12. Spinning electrons produce magnetic fields

  13. Pauli Exclusion Principle • No two electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers • If an orbital has two electrons in it, they must have different spins • Electrons in the same orbital with different spins are called paired electrons
