Chapter 4, waves, light and electrons

Electromagnetic spectrum!!!

Electromagnetic spectrum

Electromagnetic spectrum is any type of energy that moves at the speed of light.

C ( speed of light) = 3.0 x 10 10 cm / second 300 000 000 m / second C=( 3 x 108 m/ second ) Visible light, radio waves, Ultraviolet light, x rays, infrared light, t.v. waves, microwaves, gamma

waves

What hurts, what doesn’t

Gamma are most damaging X rays Ultraviolet Visible light Infrared Microwaves

T.V and radio waves

Continuous spectrum

Each type of light has several parts ( visible light is red, purple, yellow etc) So a set is called continuous, Each part of a set is a line spectrum (red is a line, purple is a line)

Speed of light

Speed of light is dependant on 2 things, the wavelength and the frequency of the wave.

C = w X F or c = C=speed, = wavelength = frequency

C= 3.0 x 1010 cm/sec, and wavelength of red light is 6.0 x 10-4 cm, what is the frequency?

 SI unit for frequency is hertz. Hz. One wave per second. If this picture were a second, there would be 4 hertz. 

Wavelength is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Amplitude is the height of the wave, but it isn’t as important for light as for sound, so that is all you need

How are wavelength and frequency related?

Which line has greater wavelength?

Which has greater frequency?

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related

Frequency and Energy

The higher the frequency, the more energy of the wave

This is a direct relationship

( this is why gamma rays and x rays are dangerous, but microwaves are not!!!!

E = h v ( h= 6.626 x10-34)E- energy h-plank’s constant,

v is still frequency

Lets try some!

If purple light as a wavelength of 4 x10-7 m, what is its frequency?

What is its energy?

Quiz over speed of light

1 what is the speed of light? 2. list 3 parts of the electromagnetic

spectrum 3. Name one type of electromagnetic energy

that is not safe for you 4. if the frequency of x rays is 2.1 x 10-18

hertz what is the wavelength?

Plank was working on relating energy of a wave to it’s frequency. Said they are

directly related!!!

Plank also worked on 2 major problems of his time. Both were problems with light and energy, but were solved with chemistry.

Photoelectric effect

Light escaping by hot matter

hot matter should give off UV light, but does give off visible light

and photoelectric effect- states that only high frequency light

( even short time) causes e- to move, but low energy light should.

How he solved the photoelectric effect

Sometimes waves act like particles Photons for visible light Quantum for all other EMR.

Quantum is a set “particle” of energy (quanta is plural)

This applies to electrons as well. They usually act like a particle, but can have properties of waves!!!

Electrons move around the nucleus in a set pattern, but energy can get them to move away from the nucleus, and as they come back, give off light!!!!http://www.bluedevilchem.com/home/homehc11.htm

Ground state- Place where electrons hang out normally

Excited state- where electrons go when energy is added!

As electrons “fall back” to ground state, give off light!

Fireworks, flares, stars, sparks!!!

Line emission spectrum

A line emission spectrum is the set of colors each element gives off as it’s particular electrons move

Bohr that first figured this out. Worked with Hydrogen, which is lavender!!!

http://members.misty.com/don/spectra.html

Bohr was only partly right!!

Bohr thought that electrons traveled around the nucleus like planets around the sun- in an orbit. ( 2D path )

Schrodinger- rethought orbits into 3D orbitals, gave the electrons whole areas to move in, this fit the Line Emission Spectrum better.

Other people of this time

DeBrogli- used the idea of quantum to explain other wavelike behavior of atoms, used the math to get frequencies and energy.

Einstein- Worked with Plank and others, gave the idea of applying quanta to all EMR (gamma, x rays tv rays etc)

How electrons move 4 ways to describe movement of electrons, like an

address. Call them all quantum numbers, though they aren’t all #’s. Principle quantum number- distance from nucleus, a

number 1-7 1 is always first, and closest to the nucleus, number gets higher

as they move away Angular momentum- a shape that describes their orbital,

s, sphere p, a dumbell or infinity sigh d, a four leaf clover f unknown http://www.bluedevilchem.com/home/homehc11.htm http://www.uwosh.edu/faculty_staff/gutow/Quantum/Nice%20At

omic%20Orbital%20Pictures.html#4p_orbital

The 3rd of the address

3rd part of address Magnetic quantum number- it has to do with direction in

space, x axis, y axix, z axis, or combinations of those 1 s magnetic # 1s 3 p magnetic # ( px py pz)

5 d magnetic # ( dx, dy, dz, dxy, dxz) 7 f magnetic # ( don’t know, who cares, just know there

are 7!!!)

The last part!!! It is easy!

The 4th part of the address is the direction the electron is spinning!

Called the spin quantum number Clockwise or counter clockwise!!!

Tips to writing electron addesses

Electron configuration is the name A “1” orbital only has 1 shape, (s)

“2” has 2 shapes- s and p, “3” has 3 – spd and 4 and up all have spdf.

Each magnetic # has a clockwise and counter clockwise electron in it.

How some look

Hydrogen 1s Lithium 1s 2s

Other people who contributed

. Pauli- created exclusion principle which states that no two electrons can have the same 4 quantum numbers

 Heisenburg- Uncertainty principle which says you can’t tell speed and location of a moving object at the same time.

the Aufbau principle –not a person, a term that explains that lowest energy level fills first

More people and ideas

Hund- it is he who said that electrons will fill equal energy orbitals SEPERATLY until they are forced to PAIR UP

So you write ↑ ↑ ↑ not ↑↓ ↑ p

How to fill in d and f

When you get to element 21 you get to fill in D’s. Just remember ( and write on your periodic table) that they are one number lower.

So 4s2 3d10 4p6, then on and on For the F’s- ok, follow along on your

periodic table

Lets try to write for Tungsten

Tungsten has 74 electrons. 1st put on your periodic table at # 58 that

those are 4f’s and # 90 is 5f’s

How many electrons are we writing? Yep, 74 1s2 2s 2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s23d104p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2

5d14f145d3

Try these

Sulfer Hydrogen Cesium Platinum Uranium Chlorine Potassium Krypton Hafnium Aluminum

Noble gas notation

Use the noble gas from the row before ( it is row 18) then only have to fill in new stuff!

N- it is like Helium but 2s2, 2p3 so

N {He} 2s2, 2p3

Try Ca Sr

Valance electrons and e- dot

Valance electrons are those in the outermost shell

Total no more than 8 Last set of s and p electrons only Only electrons that react in chemical

reactions Can identify by rows!!!

Electron dot notation

Use valance electron count, draw dots! Only 8! Go one top, bottom, left, right, then

repeat as needed. ••

H• or Mg•• •• Ne •• ••
