2. Wave function and associated wave amplitude function:

If the wave is a wave standing, the wave function only takes into account the
amplitude part, and the temporal part becomes meaningless.
IV. The Schrödinger equation
In 1926, Erwin Schrödinger, starting from the matter waves of Louis de Broglie,
postulated a wave equation to describe a particle, in particular an electron.

The three different m values indicates that there are three different
orientations possible for p orbitals. These orbitals are designated as px , py
and pz . The shape of p orbitals are dumb bell shape.
I. Introduction :
The resolution of the Schrödinger equation is impossible in the case of poly-
electronic atoms or ions; one must take into account the nucleus-electron
attraction forces and the electron-electron repulsion forces.
The energy of the atom = the sum of the orbital energies of all its electrons
Example: Calculate the energy of the carbon atom using the Slater approximation.
We first determine the effective charge of one electron from each shell of the 6C electron.
Configuration of the atom: (1s2 ) (2s2 2p2).
The two 1s electrons each feel the screening effect of the
other electron. σ1S = 0.3 Z1s* = 6 - 0.3= 5.7
And the four external electrons (2s 2p) each feel the screening
effect of:
• the other three electrons in the same shell
• the two electrons in the 1s shell with: σ2S2P = 2.75
Z2s2p* = 6-2.75 = 3.25
Note:
A quantum box can contain a maximum of 2 electrons with opposite spins.
An empty orbital represents an electron deficiency.
3. Hund's Rule:
In the ground state, when electrons are placed in a multiple subshell (p, d, f):
They occupy the maximum number of orbitals of the same energy. Unpaired
electrons have parallel spins (same spin value).
Exceptions to the Klechkowski rule : Chromium group (Z = 24) – Copper groupe (Z = 29)
The Klechkowski rule states that electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing n + l. However,
there are some exceptions to this rule, particularly for transition metals. These elements
have more stable configurations with a half-filled (d5) or fully filled (d10) d subshell.
For chromium, the configuration is [Ar] 4s² 3d4, deviating from the expected
[Ar] 4s¹ 3d5 configuration. This difference is often attributed to the improved
stability achieved through a half-filled 3d subshell. Similarly, copper has an
exception with the [Ar]4s¹ 3d10 configuration instead of [Ar]4s² 3d9, because the
full 3d10 configuration is considered more stable.
THE SIMPLIFIED ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATIONS
The simplified or abbreviated electronic configurations, also known as noble gas
notation, use the electron configuration of a noble gas to represent the electron
distribution of an element, according to:
NOBLE GAS CONFIGURATION + VALENCE SHELL
We write: [NG] ns2 (n-2)f14 (n-1)d10 np6
For example, the electron configuration of sodium (Z = 11) is: 11Na: 1s2 2s2 3s1
the simplified one is: 11Na[Ne]3s1
- In the case of transition metals: The electrons are removed first from the ns
(highest principal quantum number) orbital and then from the (n-1) d orbitals.
Examples:
THE VALENCE AND THE CORE SHELLS
The valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom. It is the shell that is furthest
from the nucleus. The core shell is the inner shell of an atom. It is the shell that
is closest to the nucleus.
Example:
VALENCE AND CORE ELECTRONS
There are two types of electrons in an atom as valence electrons and core
electrons. Valence electrons reside at the outermost shells while core electrons are
in the inner shells. The key difference between valence and core electrons is that
valence electrons participate in the chemical bond formation while core electrons
do not.
Other examples
Four elements were identified between 2004 and 2010: Nihonium 113 (Nh),
discovered by the Japanese physicist Kosuke Morita. It is named "nihonium" in
reference to the word "Nihon," meaning Japan.
Element 118, "oganesson" is named after the physicist Yuri Oganessian, a Russian
scientist.
These superheavy elements officially became part of the periodic table in 2015, and
the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) revealed their
names in 2016.
