    Study Notes

    Atomic Orbitals

    • Electron energy levels (n ≥ 3) have five d orbitals with magnetic quantum numbers ml = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
    • d orbitals have four lobes, except for dz2 which has two lobes and a toroid.
    • Electron energy levels (n ≥ 4) have seven f orbitals with magnetic quantum numbers ml = -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3.
    • f orbitals are mainly eight-lobed, with some two-lobed with two toroids.

    Orbital Shapes

    • s orbitals have a spherical shape and symmetry.
    • The number of spherical nodes in s orbitals is equal to n - 1.
    • p orbitals have two lobes, with three p orbitals forming one p sublevel, each pointing along a different axis (px, py, pz).

    Phase of an Orbital

    • The sign of the wave function is called its phase.
    • Orbitals can have positive or negative values, and nodes are where the wave function = 0.
    • When orbitals interact, their wave functions may be in phase (same sign) or out of phase (opposite signs).

    Describing an Orbital

    • Each set of n, l, and ml describes one orbital.
    • Orbitals with the same value of n are in the same principal energy level (principal shell).
    • Orbitals with the same values of n and l are in the same sublevel (subshell).

    Energy of Sublevels

    • In a Hydrogen atom, all sublevels within the same level have the same energy.
    • In all other atoms, sublevels have slightly different energies due to electron-electron repulsions.

    Photoelectric Effect

    • The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its amplitude and frequency.
    • Experimental observations show that a minimum frequency (threshold frequency) is needed before electrons are emitted, regardless of intensity.
    • Above-threshold frequency light from a dim source causes electron emission without lag time.
    • Einstein proposed that light energy is delivered in packets (quanta or photons), and one photon at the threshold frequency gives the electron just enough energy to escape.

    Atomic Spectra

    • When individual atoms or molecules absorb energy, it is released quickly as light energy (photons).
    • The emitted light is characteristic to that type of atom or molecule, forming an emission spectrum.
    • Emission spectra are non-continuous, with only specific wavelengths present.

    Light

    • Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, composed of perpendicular oscillating waves (electric field and magnetic field).
    • Electromagnetic waves move through space (vacuum) at a constant speed (c ≈ 3.00 × 10^8 m/s).
    • The speed of light in materials (e.g., air) is smaller.
