de Broglie’s Novel NotionLight was “known” (thought) to be a wave, but

Einstein showed that it also acts particle-like

Electrons were particles with known mass & charge

What if ……

1923

electrons behaved as waves also

6

Evidence for de Broglie’s Notion

Diffraction pattern obtained with firing a beam of electrons through a crystal.

This can only be explained if the electron behaves as a wave!

Electron Characteristics

A baseball behaves as a particle and follows a predictable path.

BUT

An electron behaves as a wave, and its path cannot be predicted.

All we can do is to calculate the probability of the electron following a specific path.

Baseball vs Electron

What if a baseball behaved like an electron?

Werner Heisenberg(1901-1976)

• Proposed that the dual nature of the electron places limitation on how precisely we can know both the exact location and speed of the electron

• Instead, we can only describe electron behavior in terms of probability.

Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961)

• In 1926, Austrian physicist, proposed an equation that incorporates both the wave and particle behavior of the electron

• When applied to hydrogen’s 1 electron atom, solutions provide the most probable location of finding the electron in the first energy level

• Can be applied to more complex atoms too!

Wave Equation & Wave Mechanics

Solutions to Schrodinger’s Wave Equation

Gives the most probable location of electron in 3-D space around nucleus (probability map)

orbital

Dartboard Analogy

Suppose the size of the probability distribution is defined

as where there is a % chance of all hits being confined.

17

The electron's movement cannot be known precisely.

We can only map the probability of finding the electron at various locations outside the nucleus.

The probability map is called an orbital.

The orbital is calculated to confine 90% of electron’s range.

Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms


Electrons in atoms are arranged asElectrons in atoms are arranged as

SHELLS (n) = distance from nucleus SHELLS (n) = distance from nucleus

1, 2, 3, …1, 2, 3, …

SUBSHELLS (l) = shape of region of probabilitySUBSHELLS (l) = shape of region of probability

s, p, d, fs, p, d, f

ORBITALS (mORBITALS (mll) = orientation in space) = orientation in space

19

• There is a relationship between the quantum number (n) and its the number of subshells.

Principal quantum number (n) = number of subshells


20

Representing s Orbitals

21

The 2s orbital is similar to the

1s orbital, but larger in size.

”Larger” means that the

highest probability for

finding the electron lies

farther out from the nucleus.

Each can hold a maximum of

electrons.

Comparison of 1s and 2s Orbitals

22

Probability Maps of the Three 2p Orbitals

The 2p orbital is in the n = energy level.

There are 2p orbitals oriented in three directions.

Each orbital can hold a maximum of electrons.

The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is .

Adding all 2p orbitals would result in a sphere.

23

The five 3d orbitals are generally oriented in different directions.

Adding all five orbitals, would result in a sphere.

The five orbitals, taken together, make up the d subshell of the n = 3 shell.

Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.

This sublevel has a maximum of electrons.

Different subshells within the same principal shell have different energies.

The more complex the subshell, the higher its energy. This explains why the 3d subshell is higher in energy than the 4s subshell.
