Quantum Numbers, Atomic Orbitals, and Electron Configuration The PARTICLE The WAVE THEORY THEORY states that light is like states that light is a sound that travels consisted of like a wave. very fast and (Huygens) extremely small particles that travel in straight lines (Newton) THEORIES OF THE NATURE OF LIGHT Planck’s constant = 6.626 x 10-34 J-s Wave-particle duality of light Ideal particle – precisely restricted in space. Ideal wave – unlimited spatial extension. The Schrodinger equation takes into consideration both particle behavior, in terms of mass, and wavelike behavior, in terms of WAVE FUNCTION (φ). The WAVE FUNCTION = the region in which an electron may be found at a given time can be determined. MAX BORN (1882-1970) , PHYSICIST PROPOSED THE BORN INTERPRETATION. States that the probability of finding an electron in a certain region of the atom is proportional to the square of the wave function (φ2) at that point. If the wave function is HIGH = high probability of finding an electron The WAVE FUNCTION describes an atomic orbital (representation of the probability of finding an electron in a given point in space) This electron clouds or orbitals = different shapes as calculated by the Schrodinger Equation. or Energcy Level or (n) Type of orbital WRITE ALL THE POSSIBLE SETS OF QUANTUM NUMBERS FOR THE ELECTRONS IN THE 2P AND 3S ORBITALS. 2p n = 2 ; l = 1 ; ml = -1, 0, 1 ; ms = +1/2, -1/2 3s n = 3 ; l = 0 ; ml = 0 ; ms = +1/2, -1/2 A ground-state electron in a calcium atom (Ca) might have which of the following sets of quantum numbers?
