Emission Spectroscopy
● The spectra that were shown through emission spectroscopy led Niels Bohr to question the structure of the atom.

Electromagnetic Spectrum With white light, all of the colors of the visible
spectrum are shown.

Emission Spectroscopy
● Since that was NOT what the spectra of elements looked like, Bohr began to look at why only certain wavelengths of color appeared.

Wavelengths and Energy
E = hc λ
Energy hc = two constants wavelength(Planck’s and speed of light)
This equation shows that larger wavelengths indicate lower amounts of energy and smaller wavelengths indicate higher amounts of energy... an inverse relationship.
Bohr realized that the specific wavelengths revealed specific amounts of energy.

The Bohr Model
According to Niels Bohr, an electron can circle the nucleus in orbits of only certain distances from the nucleus. Bohr called these orbits, or energy levels.
An electron cannot be in-between energy levels (i.e. it is either on the first level or the second).
Therefore, energy is quantized.

Exciting electrons...
Niels Bohr realized that the spectra were being created as electrons moved between these energy levels:
● If an electron absorbs energy, it may jump to a higher energy level.
● When an electron is at a higher energy level we say that the electron is in its “excited” state.
● When the electron releases energy in the form of radiation, we say that the electron has returned to its “ground” state.
● The type of radiation that is emitted depends on the amount of energy released (more on that in a moment)

Quantum Theory
● Energy emission and absorption from elements like hydrogen led to scientists attempting to explain why…
![Page 15: Energy Levels and Orbitals An investigation into electrons and their location and behavior within the atom Learning Targets: A.Describe the process of](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d045503460f949d7704/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Quantum Mechanical Model
● In addition to knowing that there were energy levels in the atom, three scientists began to notice other things...
Heisenberg – impossible to know the exact position and exact speed of an electron at the same time
De Broglie – electrons have wave-like properties, as in they move in wave patterns
Schroedinger – developed probability of finding each electron in a given location
![Page 16: Energy Levels and Orbitals An investigation into electrons and their location and behavior within the atom Learning Targets: A.Describe the process of](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d045503460f949d7704/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Using the Quantum Mechanical Model
● Quantum mechanics is a mathematical way of describing where electrons are located.
● It is based on the probability of finding an electron in the space outside the nucleus.
![Page 17: Energy Levels and Orbitals An investigation into electrons and their location and behavior within the atom Learning Targets: A.Describe the process of](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d045503460f949d7704/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why Quantum Numbers?
● The quantum numbers are like an address:
State City Street House Number
● Each piece of information is needed to describe the location, and each one tells more specific information about where the electron is located.
![Page 18: Energy Levels and Orbitals An investigation into electrons and their location and behavior within the atom Learning Targets: A.Describe the process of](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d045503460f949d7704/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
First Quantum NumberEnergy level (n)
• Each energy level is farther away from the nucleus.
• Electrons are attracted to the nucleus, so they will fill the lower energy levels first!

Second Quantum Number Subshell (l)
As the energy levels increase, so do the number of subshells that are needed to cover all the space around the atom.
The first energy level (n=1) has 1 subshell (s)
The second energy level (n=2) has 2 subshells (s & p)
The third energy level (n=3) has 3 subshells (s, p, & d)
The fourth energy level (n=4) has 4 subshells (s, p, d, & f)
![Page 20: Energy Levels and Orbitals An investigation into electrons and their location and behavior within the atom Learning Targets: A.Describe the process of](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d045503460f949d7704/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Extension…
● How many subshells would be present in energy level 5?
Answer: 5! s, p, d, f, and g
● How many subshells would be present in energy level 6?
Answer: 6! s, p, d, f, g, and h

Subshells
● s orbital = sphere
● p orbital = peanut
● d orbital = double peanut
● f orbital = flower
![Page 22: Energy Levels and Orbitals An investigation into electrons and their location and behavior within the atom Learning Targets: A.Describe the process of](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d045503460f949d7704/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Quantum Mechanical Model
● To recap: Energy level 1 = 1 subshell (s) Energy level 2 = 2 subshells (s and p) Energy level 3 = 3 subshells (s, p, and d) Energy level 4 = 4 subshells (s, p, d, and f) etc.
● Why are more subshells present? Each energy level is larger than the
previous. As a result, there are more possible locations for where an electron could reside.

Third Quantum Number
Atomic Orbitals ( ml )
•The atomic orbital essentially describes how many of that shape of subshell are needed to cover all the space around the nucleus.
•The more complicated the shape, the more orbitals are needed to cover all the space.
![Page 26: Energy Levels and Orbitals An investigation into electrons and their location and behavior within the atom Learning Targets: A.Describe the process of](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d045503460f949d7704/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Fourth Quantum NumberElectron Spin
( ms )Each electron can be spin up (+1/2) or spin down (-1/2)
No two electrons in the same orbital orientation can have the same spin.
With only one spin up and one spin down, the maximum number of electrons that can fit into any given orbital orientation is two.
This is called the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
