Electromagnetic Radiation
All forms of radiation can be described in terms of wave-like electric and magnetic fields. All radiation, such as visible light, X-rays, microwaves, and cell phone signals are collectively known as electromagnetic radiation (EM). All share common properties. 2

Our eyes are only able to sense a very narrow band of wavelengths from about 400 to 700 nm. This band is called the
visible spectrum.
Atoms can absorb energy (when heated) and then emit energy as electromagnetic radiation. The emitted radiation can also be examined with a prism. The pattern of emitted radiation is called the line spectrum of the atom.
(Figure 7.7, page 260)

The line spectrum of hydrogen is very simple, only 4 lines in the visible portion (other lines are in the UV and IR regions).
Rydberg (1888) : came up with an equation, using 2 integer values, that predicted these wavelengths

Niels Bohr accounted for these line spectra by assuming that the changes in energy of the H atom reflect energies of the Hs electron. Bohr based his model on three postulates: 1. Only orbits of certain radii are permitted. 2. An electron in a permitted orbit has a specific energy and is in an allowed energy state. 3. Energy is emitted or absorbed by the electron only as the electron changes from one allowed energy to another. Bohr was able to calculate the energies corresponding to each allowed orbit for the electron using the formula:
Lowest energy level (n) = 1 = ground state First excited state (n) = 2 n = 2 _______________ -0.545 x 10-18 J _________e-_________ light absorbed light emitted n = 1 __________e-___ -2.18 x 10-18 J ____________________ ground state Using Bohrs equation for the Hydrogen atom: E = Ephoton = -2.18 x 10-18 J 12 nfinal2 _ 12 ninitial2

2. Calculate the energy of the photon absorbed or emitted in the transition n = 1 to n = 3 for a hydrogen atom. To what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this photon belong? Was the photon absorbed or emitted?

Limitations of the Bohr Model 1. Bohrs model only worked for the H atom and other one-electron systems. Could not explain the spectra of other multi-electron atoms. 2. Describes the electron as a small particle circling about the nucleus. De Broglie modified the model by considering the energy levels as standing waves. 3. The fixed orbit of each energy level is also incorrect. The electron in a given energy level is not always at the same distance from the nucleus.
18
E = mc2
This shows that light, an EM wave, also has the properties typical of particles. This is known as the wave-particle duality. If light can be thought of as moving particles, can moving particles of matter such as electrons be thought of as waves? De Broglie suggested that the of matter is given by:

Hn = En Schrdinger Equation
Wave functions () = the solutions to the wave equation The electrons form a standing wave around the nucleus within an orbital. - I think of it as an electron cloud Only certain wavelengths (solutions to the wave equation) are permitted.
22
Each orbital is associated with a complete set of quantum numbers. These are analogous to defining a point on a 3D graph (x, y and z axes)
Quantum Numbers: n, l, ml
n (the principal quantum number) = 1, 2, 3 ..... - related to the size of the orbital - related to the energy level of the orbital - all orbitals with the same n are in the same shell as n , energy , size l (the azimuthal quantum number) = 0, 1, 2 .... (n-1) - also know as angular momentum quantum # - related to the shape of the orbital - divides the shells into subshells when n = 1 n=2 n=3 l is 0 l can be 0 or 1 l can be 0, 1, or 2

Problem:
How many orbitals can have the following designation: 4p
27
electron spin is responsible: when an electrically charged object spins, it creates a magnetic moment. It behaves like a magnet.
28
Pauli Exclusion Principle: no two electrons in the same atom can have the same four quantum numbers; each electron has unique set of four quantum numbers
This means that each orbital can have a maximum of 2 electrons per orbital (one with ms = + , the other -).

Electrons in Orbitals
30
Electron Configurations
the way in which the electrons are distributed among the various orbitals of an atom is called the electron configuration of the atom. below are orbital diagrams for H and He. Each box denotes an orbital; each half arrow an electron. For the H atom in its lowest energy state: OR 1s 1s n=1
For the He atom in its lowest energy state: n = 1 AND 1s 1s gives 1s2
31
Electrons having opposite spins are said to be paired when they are in the same orbital. An unpaired electron does not have a partner. A substance is diamagnetic if all its electrons are paired (eg. He). These substances are not attracted to a magnet. A substance is paramagnetic if it has one or more unpaired electrons (eg. Li). These substances are attracted to a magnet.
32
Hunds rule is based in part on the fact that electrons repel one another. By occupying different orbitals, the electrons remain as far apart as possible to minimize electron-electron repulsions.
33
Each row (period) represents an energy level Each region of the chart represents a different type of sublevel

The electrons of the noble gas are called core electrons. The outer shell electrons are given after the noble-gas. The outer shell electrons include the electrons involved in chemical bonding, which are called valence electrons. One is now able to correlate the electron configuration to the atoms chemical behaviour. The recurring patterns in the distribution of electrons in atoms orbitals is the basis for the recurring pattern in element chemistry that Mendeleev used originally to devise the periodic table.

Problems:
2) Write the condensed ground-state electron configuration for each: a) Ga b) Zn c) Sc *d) Cr *e) Cu * - These are exceptions. The 3d and 4s orbitals are very close in energy and it is more stable to half-fill (as in Cr) or completely-fill (as in Cu), the degenerate set of d orbitals.

We think of an electron as a particle by using the statistical probability of the electron being found at a particular place. We then use quantum mechanics to mathematically connect the particle and wave representations of the electron.
41
Heisenberg said you could only predict the possibility of finding the electron somewhere. A 3-D graph of the space within which there is a certain probability of finding the electron is described by the square of the wavefunction, n2, and is called the probability electron density. n = solution to the wave equation - describes the motion of electrons in time and space = orbital - probability of finding an electron in a particular region of space

An orbital shape is a picture of the highest probable electron location around the nucleus; represented by 2n.
The s Orbitals
1s, 2s, and 3s orbitals are spherical

l = 0; ml = 0
43
Nodal Plane = surface with e- density of zero Electron density is concentrated in two regions on either side of the nucleus. It is dumbbell shaped.

Zeff = Z S
where: Z = Atomic number, nuclear charge, number of protons S = Shielding constant (there are rules for its calculation) Usually close to the number of core electrons in an atom Inner electrons shield outer electrons more effectively than do electrons in the same sublevel (orbitals).
47
There is some possibility of finding the 2s electron close to the nucleus, and therefore the 2s electron will experience a slightly greater attraction than our simple model suggested.
48
Why do certain orbitals lie lower than others in terms of energy? e.g., 2s is lower than 2p
The more stable an orbital, the lower its energy is (more negative). The energy of a 2p orbital is slightly higher than a 2s orbital even though both of them are in the n = 2 shell
49
In general: Lower l value more penetration larger Zeff more stable orbital
Order of sublevel (orbital) energies with same n:
s<p<d<f
How does Zeff change as we move across a row (left right)? Zeff = Z S
When we move across a row, the number of core electrons remains the same (same S) but the actual nuclear charge (Z) increases. The valence electrons added to counterbalance the increasing nuclear charge do not shield one another very effectively. Thus the effective nuclear charge, Zeff, increases steadily across a period of the Periodic Table
50
NOTE: Zeff increases only slightly as we go down a column because larger electron cores are less able to screen the outer electrons from the nuclear charge. So this increase is less important than the increase across a row.
51
Atomic size can be defined in terms of how close one atom is to another (internuclear separations).
Bonding atomic radius: Based on the distances separating the nuclei of atoms when they are chemically bonded to each other (attractive interaction)
52
The atomic radius increases as you go down a column and as you move from right to left in a period.
54
Same period; order: K, Ca, Ga Zeff increases, atomic radius decreases Same group: Cl, Br Same period: Se, Br Same period: I, Xe

Cations are smaller than their parent atoms. Anions are larger than their parent atoms. For ions carrying the same charge, size increases as we go down a group
56
57
An isoelectronic series is a group of ions all containing the same number of electrons. (O2-, F-, Na+, Mg+2) Because the number of electrons remain constant, the radius of the ion decreases with increasing effective nuclear charge. e.g., Rank the Na+, Mg2+, F- ions in order of increasing size:
9(F) 136 F-
Write the condensed electronic configurations for the following ions: Al3+ (Z=13), O2- (Z=8), and Cl- (Z=17). Which are isoelectronic? Which is the smallest ion? smallest ion Al3+: [Ne] O2-: [Ne] Cl-: [Ar] Isoelectronic

Ionization Energy
Ionization energy (IE): The minimum energy required to remove an electron from the ground state of an isolated gaseous atom or ion. Key factor in an elements reactivity: First ionization energy: Energy required to remove the least attracted electron from a neutral atom in the gas phase. Second ionization energy: Energy required to remove the second least attracted electron, and so forth. A (g) A+ (g) + eA+ (g) A2+ (g) + eIE1 > 0 (always) IE2 > IE1 (always)
IE1 < IE2 < IE3 This trend is because with each successive removal, an electron is being pulled away from an increasingly more positive ion.
(Table 7.2, page 287)
Increases are not smooth: Notice the sharp increase in ionization energy that occurs when an inner-shell (noble-gas core) electron is removed. This supports the fact that outer electrons are used in bonding and reactions, while inner electrons are too tightly bound to the nucleus to be lost or even shared.
60
In a group: IE generally decreases down a group. The atomic radius increases down a group.
61
Irregularities in IE1
Compare: Be and B Bs last electron is a 2p1, easier to remove than 2s2 of Be
N and O Os last electron is a 2p4, easier to remove than the unpaired 2p3 of N
63
Exercise Using only a periodic table, rank the elements in the following sets in order of increasing IE1: (a) Rb, K, Ca (b) S, F, Cl (c) Sb, Sn, I Rb < K < Ca S < Cl < F Sn < Sb < I
64
Electrons are removed from the orbitals having the largest principal quantum number (n) first.
When electrons are added to atoms to form an anion, they are added to the empty or partially filled orbital having the lowest n.
65
2) Anions (-) have gained electrons until an ns2np6 outer electron configuration
is obtained. noble gas Consider sulfur: S [Ne] 3s2 3p4 add 2 electrons S2- [Ne] 3s2 3p6 closed shell, looks like [Ar]
66
Electron Affinities
Electron affinity (EA): Energy associated with the process of adding an electron to a gaseous atom. First electron affinity: Energy change accompanying the addition of the first electron to a gaseous atom. A (g) + e- A- (g) EA1 (can be + or -)
For most atoms, energy is released when the first electron is added (negative E) because the e- is attracted to the atoms nuclear charge. Cl (g) + e Cl- (g) EA1 = E = 349 kJ/mol
Electron affinity can either be exothermic (as the above example) or endothermic: Ar (g) + e Ar- (g) EA1, E > 0
EA2 is always positive because energy must be absorbed to overcome the repulsion between the two negative charges. A- (g) + e- A 2- (g) EA2 (always +)
68
EAs show a general, albeit, minor decrease when we go down a group. Consider the halogens: For F, the added electron goes into a 2p orbital, for Cl a 3p orbital, for Br a 4p orbital. The average distance between the added e- and the nucleus increases. The e- - nucleus attractions and e- / e- repulsion decrease.
69
Summary
Reactive non-metals (Groups 6A & 7A): High IE Lose e- with difficulty High (-) EA Attract e- strongly Form anions in ionic compounds Reactive metals: Low IE Lose e- readily Low (-) EA Attract e- weakly Form cations in ionic compounds Noble gases: High IE & (+) EA Do not tend to lose or gain e Not very reactive
