5.1

Slide 3 of 26


Models of the Atom > The Development of Atomic Models

Rutherford’s atomic model could not explain the chemical properties of elements.

Rutherford’s atomic model could not explain why objects change color when heated.

Models of the Atom >Bohr’s model

• Electrons orbit the nucleus in “shells”

Electrons can be bumped up to a higher shell if hit by an electron or a photon of light.

Physics and the Quantum Mechanical Model

> Light

According to the wave model, light consists of electromagnetic waves.

• Electromagnetic radiation includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

• All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at a speed of 2.998 108 m/s.

Atomic Spectra

Atomic Spectra

What causes atomic emission spectra?

5.3


Slide 10 of 38


> Atomic Spectra

When atoms absorb energy, electrons move into higher energy levels. These electrons then lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.

> Atomic Spectra

A prism separates light into the colors it contains. When white light passes through a prism, it produces a rainbow of colors.

The Bohr Model

The Bohr Model

What was the new proposal in the Bohr model of the atom?

5.1


Slide 14 of 26

Models of the Atom > The Bohr Model

Bohr proposed that an electron is found only in specific circular paths, or orbits, around the nucleus.

5.1

Slide 15 of 26



Each possible electron orbit in Bohr’s model has a fixed energy.

• The fixed energies an electron can have are called energy levels.

• A quantum of energy is the amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another energy level.

5.1

Slide 16 of 26



Like the rungs of the strange ladder, the energy levels in an atom are not equally spaced.

The higher the energy level occupied by an electron, the less energy it takes to move from that energy level to the next higher energy level.

Models of the Atom > The Quantum Mechanical Model

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961) used new theoretical calculations and results to devise and solve a mathematical equation describing the behavior of the electron in a hydrogen atom.

The modern description of the electrons in atoms, the quantum mechanical model, comes from the mathematical solutions to the Schrödinger equation.

Slide 18 of 26



The propeller blade has the same probability of being anywhere in the blurry region, but you cannot tell its location at any instant. The electron cloud of an atom can be compared to a spinning airplane propeller.

5.1

Slide 19 of 26



In the quantum mechanical model, the probability of finding an electron within a certain volume of space surrounding the nucleus can be represented as a fuzzy cloud. The cloud is more dense where the probability of finding the electron is high.

Atomic Orbitals

Atomic Orbitals

How do sublevels of principal energy levels differ?

5.1

Slide 21 of 26


Models of the Atom > Atomic Orbitals

An atomic orbital is often thought of as a region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Each energy sublevel corresponds to an orbital of a different shape, which describes where the electron is likely to be found.

5.1

Slide 22 of 26



Different atomic orbitals are denoted by letters. The s orbitals are spherical, and p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped.

5.1

Slide 23 of 26



Four of the five d orbitals have the same shape but different orientations in space.

5.1

Slide 24 of 26



The numbers and kinds of atomic orbitals depend on the energy sublevel.

The number of electrons allowed in each of the first four energy levels are shown here.
