  1. ATOMIC STRUCTURE AND PERIODIC TRENDS Chapter 7

  2. ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

  3. CHARACTERISTICS • wavelength (λ) — (lambda) length between 2 successive crests. • frequency (υ) — (nu in chemistry; f in physics—either is OK), number of cycles per second that pass a certain point in space (Hz - cycles per second) • amplitude — maximum height of a wave as measured from the axis of propagation. • nodes — points of zero amplitude (equilibrium position); always occur at λ/2 for sinusoidal waves • velocity — speed of the wave, equals λ υ • speed of light, c — 2.99792458 × 108 m/s; we will use 3.0 x 108 m/s (on reference sheet). All electromagnetic radiation travels at this speed. If “light” is involved, it travels at 3 × 108 m/s. • Notice that λ and υ are inversely proportional. When one is large, the other is small.

  4. CHARACTERISTICS

  5. PRACTICE ONE Frequency of Electromagnetic Radiation The brilliant red colors seen in fireworks are due to the emission of light with wavelengths around 650 nm when strontium salts such as Sr(NO3)2 and SrCO3 are heated. Calculate the frequency of red light of wavelength 6.50 × 102 nm. You must be able to convert nm to m because the speed of light constant is in meters per second. 1 nm = 1 x10-9m

  6. THE NATURE OF MATTER • In the early 20th century, certain experiments showed that matter could not absorb or emit any quantity of energy - this did not hold with the generally accepted notion. • 1900 - Max Planck solved the problem. He made an incredible assumption: There is a minimum • amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom, and all energy gained or lost must be some • integer multiple, n, of that minimum. • There is no such thing as a transfer of energy in fractions of quanta, only in whole numbers of quanta.

  7. CALCUALTING ENERGY ΔEnergy = n(hυ) where h is a proportionality constant, Planck's constant, h = 6.6260755 × 10-34 joule • seconds. We will use 6.626 x 10-34Js (on reference sheet). This υ is the lowest frequency that can be absorbed or emitted by the atom, and the minimum energy change, hυ, is called a quantum of energy. Think of it as a packet of energy equal to hυ.

  8. PRACTICE TWO The Energy of a Photon • The blue color in fireworks is often achieved by heating copper(I) chloride to about 1200°C. Then the compound emits blue light having a wavelength of 450 nm. What is the increment of energy (the quantum) that is emitted at 4.50 × 102 nm by CuCl? Planck's formula requires frequency so you must find that first before solving for energy.

  9. THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT • In 1900 Albert Einstein was working as a clerk in the patent office in Bern, Switzerland and he proposed that electromagnetic, EM, radiation itself was quantized. He proposed that EM radiation could be viewed as a stream of particles called photons. • photoelectric effect — light bombards the surface of a metal and electrons are ejected. A Demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qKrOF-gJZ4 Stop at 3:37

  10. PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT • frequency — a minimum υ must be met or alas, no action! Once minimum is met, intensity increases the rate of ejection. • photon — massless particles of light. • Use Planck’s formula and constant Ephoton = hυ =

  11. CALCULATING MASS Rearrange Einstein’s famous formula: m = E c2 Therefore m = E = hc/λ = h c2c2λc So mass = Planck’s constant divided by wavelength and the speed of light.

  12. SUMMARY • Energy is quantized. • It can occur only in discrete units called quanta [hυ]. • EM radiation exhibits wave and particle properties. • This phenomenon is known as the dual nature of light.

  13. MORE • Since light which was thought to be wavelike now has certain characteristics of particulate matter, is the converse also true? • French physicist Louis de Broglie (1923): • If m = h/λc, substitute v [velocity] for c for any object NOT traveling at the speed of light, then rearrange and solve for lambda (wavelength). • This is called the de Broglie equation: λ =

  14. PRACTICE THREE Calculations of Wavelength • Compare the wavelength for an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10-31 kg) traveling at a speed of 1.0 × 107 m/s with that for a ball (mass = 0.10 kg) traveling at 35 m/s.

  15. FUN FACTS • The more massive the object, the smaller its associated wavelength and vice versa. • Davisson and Germer @ Bell labs found that a beam of electrons was diffracted like light waves by the atoms of a thin sheet of metal foil and that de Broglie's relation was followed quantitatively. • ANY moving particle has an associated wavelength. • We now know that Energy is really a form of matter, and ALL matter shows the same types of properties. That is, all matter exhibitsboth particulate and wave properties.

  16. ATOMIC LINE (EMISSION) SPECTRA • emission spectrum — the spectrum of bright lines, bands, or continuous radiation that is provided by a specific emitting substance as it loses energy and returns to its ground state OR the collection of frequencies of light given off by an "excited" electron • absorption spectrum — a graph or display relating how a substance absorbs electromagnetic radiation as a function of wavelength • line spectrum — isolate a thin beam by passing through a slit then a prism or a diffraction grating which sorts into discrete frequencies or lines

  17. HYDROGEN ATOMIC EMISSION AND ABSORPTION SPECTRA

  18. HYDROGEN ATOMIC EMISSION AND ABSORPTION SPECTRA

  19. HYDROGEN ATOMIC EMISSION SPECTRA • Niels Bohr connected spectra and the quantum ideas of Einstein and Planck: the single electron of the hydrogen atom could occupy only certain energy states, stationary states • An electron in an atom would remain in its lowest E state unless otherwise disturbed. • Energy is absorbed or emitted by a change from this ground state.

  20. AN EXPLANATION • an electron with n = 1 has the most negative energy and is thus the most strongly attracted to the positive nucleus. [Higher states have less negative values and are not as strongly attracted to the positive nucleus.] • ground state--n = 1 for hydrogen • Ephoton = hυ =

  21. AN EXPLANTION • To move from ground to n = 2 the electron/atom must absorb no more or no less thana prescribed amount of energy • What goes up must come down. Energy absorbed must eventually be emitted. • The origin or atomic line spectra is the movement of electrons between quantized energy states. • IF an electron moves from higher to lower E states, a photon is emitted and an emission line is observed.

  22. CALCULATING ENERGY OF ENERGY LEVELS IN HYDROGEN ATOM • Bohr’s equation for calculating the energy of the E levels available to the electron in the hydrogen atom: E = -2.178 x 10-18J Z 2 n2 • where n is an integer (larger n means larger orbit radius, farther from nucleus), • Z is the nuclear charge, the (-) sign simply means that the E of the electron bound to the nucleus is lower than it would be if the electron were at an infinite distance [n = ∞] from the nucleus where there is NO interaction and the energy is zero.

  23. CALCULATING ENERGY OF ENERGY LEVELS IN HYDROGEN ATOM • This equation can be used to calculate the change in energy of an electron when it changes orbits. This happens when electrons gain energy (get excited) and jump to a higher energy level or lose this energy and drop to a lower energy level. • ∆E = difference between the energies for the two levels. • If ∆E is (-), energy was lost. If ∆E is (+), then energy was gained.

  24. CALCULATING ENERGY OF ENERGY LEVELS IN HYDROGEN ATOM • You can also calculate the wavelength of this emitted photon using the equation: = hc ∆E Use the absolute value of ∆E. Energy flow is indicated by saying the photon was emitted from the atom.

  25. PRACTICE FOUR Energy Quantization in Hydrogen • Calculate the energy required to excite the hydrogen electron from level n = 1 to level n = 2. Also calculate the wavelength of light that must be absorbed by a hydrogen atom in its ground state to reach this excited state.

  26. Two important points about Bohr's Model • The model correctly fits the quantized energy levels of the hydrogen atom and postulates only certain allowed circular orbits for the electron. • As the electron becomes more tightly bound, its energy becomes more negative relative to the zero energy reference state (corresponding to the electron being at infinite distance from the nucleus). As the electron is brought closer to the nucleus, energy is released into the system.

  27. Two shortcomings about Bohr's Model • Bohr's model does not work for atoms other than hydrogen. • Electron's do not move in circular orbits.

  28. PRACTICE FIVE Calculate the energy required to remove the electron from a hydrogen atom in its ground state. Removing the electron from a hydrogen in its ground state corresponds to taking the electron from ninitial = 1 to nfinal = ∞.

  29. THE QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL OF THE ATOM • Bohrmodel would not work. • de Broglie opened a can of worms among physicists by suggesting the electron had wave properties because that meant that the electron has dual properties. • Werner Heisenberg and Max Born provided the uncertainty principle - if you want to define the momentum of an electron, then you have to forego knowledge ofits exact position at the time of the measurement. • Max Born suggested: if we choose to know the energy of an electron in an atom with only a small uncertainty, then we must accept a correspondingly large uncertainty about its position in the space about the atom's nucleus. This means that we can only calculate theprobability of finding an electron within a given space.

  30. THE WAVE MECHANICAL VIEW OF THE ATOM • Schrodinger equation: solutions are called wave functions - chemically important. The electron is characterized as a matter-wave • sort of standing waves - only certain allowed wave functions (symbolized by the Greek letter, ψ, pronounced “sigh”) • Each ψ for the electron in the H atom corresponds to an allowed energy. For each integer, n, there is an atomic state characterized by its own ψ and energy En. • Basically: the energy of electrons is quantized.

  31. THE WAVE MECHANICAL VIEW OF THE ATOM • the square of ψ gives the intensity of the electron wave or the probability of finding the electron at the point P in space about the nucleus. • electron density map, electron density and electron probability ALL mean the same thing! • matter-waves for allowed energy states are also called ORBITALS.

  32. THE WAVE MECHANICAL VIEW OF THE ATOM • To solve Schrodinger's equation in a 3-dimensional world, we need the quantum numbers n, ℓ , and mℓ • The amplitude of the electron wave at a point depends on the distance of the point from the nucleus. • Imagine that the space around a Hydrogen nucleus is made up of a series of thin “shells” like the layers of an onion, but these “shells” as squishy.

  33. THE WAVE MECHANICAL VIEW OF THE ATOM • Plot the total probability of finding the electron in each shell versus the distance from the nucleus and you get the radial probability graph you see in (b). Darker color means more probability of finding the e- there.

  34. THE WAVE MECHANICAL VIEW OF THE ATOM • The maximum in the curve occurs because of two opposing effects. • the probability of finding an electron is greatest near the nucleus [electrons just can’t resist the attraction of a proton!]. • BUT - the volume of the spherical shell increases with distance from the nucleus, so we are summing more positions of possibility, so the TOTAL probability increases to a certain radius and then decreases as the electron probability at EACH position becomes very small.

  35. QUANTUM NUMBERS n— principal energy level — 1 to infinity. • Determines the total energy of the electron. • It indicates the most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus within 90%. • A measure of the orbital size or diameter. • 2n2electrons may be assigned to a shell. • Translation: the energy level that electron isin. If it’s a 3s electron, n = 3, if it’s a 4d electron, n = 4, etc.

  36. QUANTUM NUMBERS ℓ - angular momentum — 0,1,2,....(n-1) • electrons within each shell may be grouped into subshells or sublevels • each characterized by its certain wave shape. • Each ℓ is a different orbital shape or orbital type. • n limits the values of ℓ to no larger than n-1. Thus, the number of possibilities for ℓ is equal to n. s,p,d,fsublevels → 0,1,2,3 ℓ-values respectively • spdfstand for - Sharp, principle, diffuse, fundamental. • Translation: 3 sublevels for 3rd energy level (s, p, d), 4 for 4th energy level (s, p, d, f), etc.

  37. QUANTUM NUMBERS mℓ, magnetic • this designates the orientation of an orbital in a given sublevel • s = 1 sublevel, p = three sublevels, d = five sublevels, f = seven sublevels. • Assign the slots in orbital diagrams with zero on the middle blank and then -ℓ through zero to +ℓ; that means that the range of orbitals is from +ℓ to - ℓ • - The down arrow in the 3p, -1 slot is the last electron placed, a valence electron. So its quantum numbers are 3 (n), 1 (ℓ), -1 (mℓ)

  38. PRACTICE SIX For principal quantum level n = 5, determine the number of allowed subshells (different values of ℓ), and give the designation of each.

  39. 2014 AP Chemistry test The 2014 AP Chemistry test will not require you to determine the quantum numbers for any given electron, but you still need to know what they are and how they are found.

  40. QUANTUM NUMBERS AND ORBITALS

  41. ORBITALS SHAPES AND ENERGIES s– sharp • Spherical • The size increases with n. • The nodes you see at right represent ZERO probability of finding the electron in that region of space. • The number of nodes equals n-1 for s orbitals.

  42. ORBITALS SHAPES AND ENERGIES p– principle • has one plane that slices through the nucleus and divides the region of electron density into 2 halves. • Nodal plane -the electron can never be found there!! • 3 orientations: px, py, and pz.

  43. ORBITALS SHAPES AND ENERGIES • d– diffuse • has two nodal planes slicing through the nucleus to create four sections • 5 orbitals.

  44. ORBITALS SHAPES AND ENERGIES • f– fundamental • has three nodal planes slicing through the nucleus • eight sections • 7 orbitals

  45. ELECTRON SPIN AND THE PAULI PRINCIPLE • If electrons interact with a magnetic field, there must be one more concept to explain the behavior of electrons in atoms. • ms- the 4th quantum number; accounts for the reaction of electrons in a magnetic field

  46. QUANTUM NUMBERS ms, electron spin • Each electron has a magnetic field with N and S poles • Electron spin is quantized such that, in an external magnetic field, only two orientations of the electron magnet and its spin are possible • +½ and −½

  47. MAGNETISM • magnetite- Fe3O4, natural magnetic oxide of iron • 1600 -William Gilbert concluded the earth is also a large spherical magnet with magnetic south at the geographic North Pole. • NEVER FORGET: opposites attract & likes repel whether it’s opposite poles of a magnet or opposite electrical charges

  48. PARAMAGNETISM AND UNPAIRED ELECTRONS • diamagnetic - not magnetic [magnetism dies]; in fact they are slightly repelled by a magnetic field. Occurs when all electrons are PAIRED. • paramagnetic - attracted to a magnetic field; lose their magnetism when removed from the magnetic field; has one or more UNPAIRED electrons. • ferromagnetic - retain magnetism upon introduction to and then removal from a magnetic field • All of these are explained by electron spins

  49. PARAMAGNETISM AND UNPAIRED ELECTRONS • H is paramagnetic; He is diamagnetic, WHY? • H ____ • H has one unpaired electron • He ____ • He has NO unpaired electrons; all spins offset and cancel each other out

  50. FERROMAGNETIC • clusters of atoms have their unpaired electrons aligned within a cluster, clusters are more or less aligned and substance acts as a magnet. Don't drop it!! • When all of the domains, represented by the arrows, are aligned, it behaves as a magnet. • If you drop it: The domains go in all different directions and it no longer operates as a magnet.
