Study Notes
Atomic Models
- Atoms are composed of smaller particles, including protons, neutrons, and electrons
- The early model of the atom (Dalton) pictured atoms as tiny, solid balls.
- The plum pudding model (Thomson) proposed atoms as a positively charged sphere with negatively charged particles scattered throughout.
- Rutherford's model, based on the gold foil experiment, described an atom with a small, dense, positively charged nucleus and electrons orbiting around it. This model was mostly empty space.
- Bohr's model refined Rutherford's model, suggesting electrons move in specific energy levels or orbits around the nucleus.
- The quantum mechanical model of the atom describes electrons as being in orbitals, volumes of space where the probability of finding an electron is high
- The Quantum Mechanics model views an electron as a cloud of negative charge in a certain geometric shape.
Atomic Structure
- Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of the atom.
- Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus and are much smaller than protons.
- Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus.
Energy Levels and Sublevels
- Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells, corresponding to a fixed amount of energy.
- These energy levels are further divided into sublevels (s, p, d, f) with different shapes and capacities for electrons.
- For each energy level, there are sublevels. The principle energy levels or shells are denoted by the principal quantum number n, with shells corresponding to 1,2,3 etc.
- Each has a maximum number of electrons
- s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
- p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons
- d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons
- f sublevel can hold a maximum of 14 electrons
- The way in which electrons are distributed in the different orbitals around the nucleus is called electron configuration
- The electron configuration of an element is determined by the Aufbau principle (electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energy), Hund's rule of multiplicity (electrons spread out into available orbitals before pairing up) and the Pauli exclusion principle (electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins.)
The Relationships Between Electrons and Atoms
- Electrons can absorb energy and jump to higher energy levels (excited state)
- Electrons return to a lower energy level by releasing energy (in the form of light)
- The energy absorbed or released by an electron corresponds to varying wavelengths, resulting in different colours of light.
Flame Tests
- Metal salts emit specific colors when heated in a flame.
- The color of the flame is determined by the electrons in the metal atoms absorbing energy and jumping to higher energy levels, then releasing that energy as light, and the corresponding wavelengths of different colours.
Fireworks
- Fireworks use various metal salts to produce different colors.
- The color corresponds to the light released by electrons in the metal salts reaching different energy levels.
Quantum Numbers
- Quantum numbers describe specific properties of electrons in atoms, such as energy level, shape, and orientation of orbitals
