Study Notes
Atomic Models Overview
- Plum Pudding Model: Proposed by J.J. Thomson, suggests atoms consist of positively charged substance with electrons embedded throughout for neutral overall charge.
Nuclear Model
- Ernest Rutherford (1911): Introduced the nuclear model, identifying a small, dense, positively charged nucleus after the gold foil experiment.
Gold Foil Experiment
- Rutherford directed alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil.
- Results: Most particles passed through, while a small fraction were deflected or bounced back, suggesting a concentrated positive charge in a nucleus rather than a spread-out charge.
Key Features of Rutherford’s Model
- Nucleus: Central core containing most of atom's mass, made of protons and later discovered neutrons.
- Electrons: Negatively charged and orbit the nucleus in large distances, resulting in mostly empty atom space.
- Density Comparison: The nucleus is significantly smaller than the entire atom, concentrating positive charge and mass in a tiny area.
Bohr Model
- Niels Bohr (1913): Advanced Rutherford's model by proposing electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed energy levels or shells, similar to planet orbits.
Key Features of Bohr Model
- Fixed Orbits: Electrons occupy specific, quantized energy levels, preventing them from spiraling into the nucleus.
- Energy Transitions: Electrons can move between energy levels by absorbing or emitting energy in the form of light.
- Line Spectra: Explained spectral lines emanating from hydrogen and other elements due to electron transitions.
Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom
- Developed through quantum mechanics, highlighting limitations of previous models.
- Erwin Schrödinger: Proposed that electrons exist in probability clouds (orbitals) rather than fixed paths.
- Werner Heisenberg: Uncertainty Principle asserts it's impossible to know both position and momentum of an electron simultaneously.
- James Chadwick (1932): Discovered the neutron, completing the understanding of atomic nucleus composition.
Quantum Numbers
- Principal Quantum Number (n): Indicates energy level.
- Azimuthal Quantum Number (l): Reflects subshell shape (s, p, d, f).
- Magnetic Quantum Number (ml): Represents orientation of orbitals.
- Spin Quantum Number (ms): Describes electron spin, either +1/2 or -1/2.
Electron Configuration
- Aufbau Principle: Electrons fill low-energy orbitals before higher ones.
- Hund’s Rule: Electrons fill degenerate orbitals singly before pairing.
- Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons can have identical quantum numbers; maximum of two electrons per orbital.
Discovery of the Periodic Table
- Dmitri Mendeleev (1834–1907): Father of the modern periodic table, arranged elements by atomic mass and predicted properties of undiscovered elements.
- Julius Lothar Meyer (1830–1895): Independently created a periodic table, highlighting periodic trends in properties with atomic volume.
Modifications to the Periodic Table
- Henry Moseley (1887–1915): Organized elements by atomic number, improving upon Mendeleev’s atomic mass arrangement.
- John Newlands (1837–1898): Proposed the Law of Octaves, suggesting a periodic relation of properties every eight elements.
Structure of the Periodic Table
- Groups: Vertical columns (18 total), where elements in the same group share similar chemical properties due to the same number of valence electrons.
- Periods: Horizontal rows (7 total), with an increase in atomic number from left to right and a decrease in metallic character.
Element Blocks
- Categories: Metals on the left, nonmetals on the right, and metalloids between with variable properties.
- Subshells: s-block (Groups 1-2), p-block (Groups 13-18), highlighting the filling of specific orbital types within the periodic table.
