The Atom and Unanswered Questions
- In Rutherford's model, the atoms mass is 
concentrated in the nucleus and electrons move 
around it. 
- The model doesnt explain how the electrons were 
arranged around the nucleus.  - The model doesnt explain why negatively charged 
electrons arent pulled into the positively 
charged nucleus. 
  6Section 5-1
The Atom and Unanswered Questions (cont.)
- In the early 1900s, scientists observed certain 
elements emitted visible light when heated in a 
flame. 
- Analysis of the emitted light revealed that an 
elements chemical behavior is related to the 
arrangement of the electrons in its atoms. 
  7Section 5-1
The Wave Nature of Light
- Visible light is a type of electromagnetic 
radiation, a form of energy that exhibits 
wave-like behavior as it travels through space. 
- All waves can be described by several 
characteristics. 
  8Section 5-1
The Wave Nature of Light (cont.)
- The wavelength (?) is the shortest distance 
between equivalent points on a wave. 
- The frequency (?) is the number of waves that 
pass a given point per second.  - The amplitude is the waves height from the 
origin to a crest.

  11Section 5-1
The Wave Nature of Light (cont.)
- The speed of light (3.00 ? 108 m/s) is the 
product of its wavelength and frequency c  ??. 
  12Section 5-1
The Wave Nature of Light (cont.)
- Sunlight, or visible light, contains a continuous 
range of wavelengths and frequencies. 
- A prism separates sunlight into a continuous 
spectrum of colors  pg. 138.  - The electromagnetic spectrum includes all forms 
of electromagnetic radiation  pg. 139.

 16Section 5-1
The Particle Nature of Light
- The wave model of light cannot explain all of 
lights characteristics. 
- Matter can gain or lose energy only in small, 
specific amounts called quanta.  - Max Planck defined a quantum as the minimum 
amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an 
atom. 
  17Section 5-1
The Particle Nature of Light (cont.)
- The wave theory could also not explain the 
photoelectric effect - electrons are emitted from 
a metals surface when light of a certain 
frequency shines on it (how solar calculators 
work).

  18Section 5-1
The Particle Nature of Light (cont.)
- Albert Einstein proposed in 1905 that light has a 
dual nature.  
- Einstein suggested a beam of light has wavelike 
and particlelike properties.  - A photon is a particle of electromagnetic 
radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of 
energy.

 19Section 5-1
Atomic Emission Spectra 
- Light in a neon sign is produced when electricity 
is passed through a tube filled with neon gas and 
excites the neon atoms. 
- The excited atoms emit light to release energy.

 27Section 5-2
Bohr's Model of the Atom
- Bohr correctly predicted the frequency lines in 
hydrogens atomic emission spectrum. 
- The lowest allowable energy state of an atom is 
called its ground state.  - When an atom gains energy, it is in an excited 
state. 
  28Section 5-2

nucleus only in certain allowed circular orbits - 
Planetary Atomic Model.

number. 
  30Section 5-2

in the ground state.

 33Section 5-2
Bohr's Model of the Atom (cont.)
- Bohrs model explained the hydrogens spectral 
lines, but failed to explain any other elements 
lines. 
- The behavior of electrons is still not fully 
understood, but it is known they do not move 
around the nucleus in circular orbits. 
  34Section 5-2
The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom
- Louis de Broglie (18921987) hypothesized that 
particles, including electrons, could also have 
wavelike behaviors. 
  35Section 5-2

- The figure illustrates that electrons orbit the 
nucleus only in whole-number wavelengths. 
  36Section 5-2
The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom (cont.)
- The de Broglie equation predicts that all moving 
particles have wave characteristics. 
  37Section 5-2
The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom (cont.)
- Heisenberg showed it is impossible to take any 
measurement of an object without disturbing it. 
  38Section 5-2
The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom (cont.)
- The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that 
it is fundamentally impossible to know precisely 
both the velocity and position of a particle at 
the same time.  - The only quantity that can be known is the 
probability for an electron to occupy a certain 
region around the nucleus. 
  39Section 5-2
The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom (cont.)
- Schrödinger treated electrons as waves in a model 
called the quantum mechanical model of the atom 
(electron cloud model).

elements other than hydrogen!!! 
  40Section 5-2
The Quantum Mechanical Model of the Atom (cont.)
- The wave function predicts a three-dimensional 
region around the nucleus called the atomic 
orbital. 
  41Section 5-2
Hydrogen Atomic Orbitals
- Principal quantum number (n) indicates the 
relative size and energy of atomic orbitals. 
- n specifies the atoms major energy levels, 
called the principal energy levels. 
  42Section 5-2
Hydrogen Atomic Orbitals (cont.)
- Energy sublevels are contained within the 
principal energy levels. Sublevels are designated 
as s, p, d, and f.  - Note (g, h,  i are also possible).
 
  43Section 5-2
Hydrogen Atomic Orbitals (cont.)
- Each energy sublevel relates to orbitals of 
different shape.  - An orbital is a pair of electrons and can hold 
only 2 electrons.  - s orbitals can hold 2 electrons. 
 - p orbitals can hold 6 electrons. 
 - d orbitals can hold 10 electrons. 
 - f orbitals can hold 14 electrons.
