QUANTUM MECHANICAL
MODEL
• Describe the region of space around
the nucleus of an atom where there
is a good probability of finding
electrons.
• Provides information on the energy
of the electron
QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL
• Main energy level
– Sublevels or subshells
• Orbitals

QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL
• To determine the number of
electrons that can occupy a main
energy level, the 2n2 rule is followed.
• N= refers to the main energy level
ELECTRON CONFIGURATION
• The electron configuration of an atom
describes how electrons is distributed among
the orbitals
• To determine the arrangement of electrons in
an atom we follow 3 principle:
• Aufbau Principle
• Pauli exclusion Principle
• Hund’s Rule
Aufbau Principle
• The electron fills the orbitals, one at a
time, starting with the lowest energy
level orbital then proceeding to the one
with the higher energy.
Hund’s Rule
• In filling up the set of orbital, the orbital are
occupied by one electron at a time with
electron having the same spin
QUANTUM NUMBERS
Four Quantum Numbers
• The principal quantum number (n) gives the
number of the main energy level where
electron revolves. It can have values from one
on.
• The secondary quantum number or azimuthal
quantum number (l) measures the angular
momentum of the electron. The number also
indicates the number of sublevels in each
energy level.
Four Quantum Numbers

• The magnetic quantum number (ml ) refers


to the behavior of an electron in a magnetic
field with assigned values +l to –l, including
0.
• The spin quantum number (ms) describes the
spin of an electron about its own axis. The
values are -1/2 for an electron spinninh
clockwise and +1/2 for an electron spinning
counter clockwise.
Pauli Exclusion principle
• States that no two electrons of an atom will
have the same set of quantum numbers.
