Study Notes

Atomic Models

  • Rutherford's model of the atom focused on the nucleus.
  • Bohr's model focused on electrons.
  • Bohr's model describes electrons existing at different energy levels in orbits around the nucleus.

Electron Transitions

  • Electron transitions can result in the emission or absorption of energy.
  • An electron transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level results in the emission of energy.
  • An electron transition from a lower energy level to a higher energy level requires the absorption of energy.

Electron Configuration

  • The symbol "n" in the Bohr theory of atomic structure refers to the orbit in which an electron is found.
  • The sublevels within an energy level are assigned with letters: s, p, d, f, and g.
  • The number of orbitals in a given principal energy level is determined by the equation n^2, where n is the principal energy level.
  • An excited state is when an electron occupies a higher energy level than its ground state.
  • The fifth principal energy level contains s, p, d, f, and g orbitals.
  • The quantum mechanical model views an electron as a cloud of negative charge having a certain geometrical shape.
  • This model shows how likely an electron could be found in various locations around the nucleus.

Rules and Principles

  • Hund's Rule states that electrons will individually occupy each orbital within a subshell before doubling up in any one orbital.
  • The Aufbau Principle states that electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energy.
  • The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.
  • Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to know both the position and momentum of an electron simultaneously.

Atomic Orbitals

  • An atomic orbital is a region of space around the nucleus where an electron is most likely to be found.
  • An orbital can be unoccupied, occupied by one electron, or occupied by two electrons.
  • An orbital cannot be occupied by more than two electrons.
