    Study Notes

    Quantum Mechanical Model of an Atom

    • The Rutherford model of the atom, while picturing the atom as mostly empty space with mass concentrated in the nucleus, could not explain the colors of light emitted by heated metals.
    • The Quantum Mechanical Model describes the energies and positions of electrons more accurately than the Rutherford model.
    • Students are expected to explain how the Quantum Mechanical Model describes the energies and positions of electrons.
    • The characteristics of matter are related to how electrons are distributed inside atoms.

    Get Refreshed (Elicit)

    • The three subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Protons have a positive charge, and are located inside the nucleus.
    • Neutrons have no charge, and are located inside the nucleus
    • Electrons have a negative charge, and are located outside the nucleus.

    Get Acquainted (Engage)

    • Fireworks use metal salts to produce colors.
    • Different metals produce different colors of light when heated.
    • The colors emitted by metal salts are due to the arrangement of electrons in their atoms.

    Get Informed (Explain)

    • Atomic spectra are unique to each element.
    • The Bohr model of the atom, while refined Rutherford's model, suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific, fixed energy levels.
    • Electrons emit light when they transition between energy levels.
    • The Quantum Mechanical Model treats electrons as waves rather than as particles in precise orbits.
    • Electrons exist in orbitals, regions of space where the probability of finding an electron is highest.
    • Atomic orbitals are organized into energy levels and sublevels.

    Quantum numbers

    • Quantum numbers describe the properties of electrons in an atom.

    • The principal (n) quantum number describes the energy level.

    • The angular momentum (l) quantum number defines the shape of the orbital.

    • The magnetic (ml) quantum number describes the orientation of the orbital in space.

    • The spin (ms) quantum number describes the direction of electron spin.

    • Electrons are described in terms of orbitals.

    • The quantum mechanical model introduces the concept of orbitals; regions within an atom where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

    • Atomic orbitals are assigned labels (spdf).

    • Different shapes and orientations of orbitals are associated with different sublevels of energy

    • Energy levels can hold a maximum number of electrons.

    • Sublevels are organized into principal energy levels. Levels and sublevels are further organized into orbitals.

    • A given orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

    • The Pauli exclusion principle dictates that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms).
