Electron Cloud Model of the Atom

What is an orbital????

• An orbital is is is a 3 dimensional area in space where
  an electron may be found. It does not have a set
  pattern to it like in the Bohr Model of the atom!
• It is is is a cloud like area around the nucleus where
  the electron can be found 95 of the time. Much
  like light, electrons have properties of both a
  particle and a wave and do not travel in a path
  like planets around a star!!!!

3

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

• This state that it is impossible to know both
  the position and velocity of an electron at the
  same time.
• So in an orbital (electron cloud) it is not
  possible to know exactly where an electron is at
  any one moment . The orbital is represents represent an area
  in space , the probability of find electron
  in that region.

4

• This model is also sometimes called the quantum
  mechanical model of the atom

5

quantum number

• There are 4 different quantum numbers.
• These quantum numbers describe the location of an
  electron around the nucleus of the atom
• No 2 electrons can have the same 4 quantum
  numbers in an atom. If they did it would
  indicate that they are occupying the same area in
  space around the nucleus

6

Principal Quantum Number

• Generally symbolized by n, it denotes the energy
  level in which the electron is located.
• These are whole numbers, 1,2,3,.

7

Angular Momentum Quantum Number

• The angular momentum quantum number, denotes the
  orbital in which the electron is located. This
  indicates the shape of the orbital

8

The four types of orbitals

• The 4 types of orbitals are called
• s , p , d and f
• s orbitals is are are spherical in shape

9

p orbitals have a figure 8 type shape there

are 3 kinds of p orbitals

10

d orbitals is are are mostly like a 4 leaf clover type

shape. There are 5 kinds of d orbitals

11

f orbital shapes is become become more complex . There are

7 kind of f orbital

12

Magnetic Quantum Number

• The magnetic quantum number shows the orientation
  of the electron orbital with respect to the
  three axis in space .

13

Spin Quantum Number

• spin quantum number denote the behavior
  (direction of spin) of an electron within a
  magnetic field.
• Possibilities for electron spin
• 1/2 or 1/2

14

4.3 Electron Configuration

• 3 rules for adding electrons to orbitals
• Aufbau principle an electron occupies the
  lowest-energy orbital that can receive it
• Pauli exclusion principle no two electrons in
  the same atom is have can have the same set of four
  quantum numbers
• Hunds rule orbitals of equal energy are each
  occupied by one electron before any orbital is
  occupied by a second electron, and all electrons
  in singly occupied orbital must have the same
  spin

15

represent electron configuration

• The electron configuration for boron is 1s22s22p1
• How many electrons are present in an atom of
  boron ?
• What is the atomic number?
• Write the orbital notation for boron
• ? ? ? ? ? _ _ _ _ _ _
• 1s 2s 2px 2py 2pz

16

Practice is write write the electron configuration for

nitrogen

• ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
• 1s 2s 2px 2py 2pz

17

Maximum number of electrons in each sublevel

• s orbital 2 electrons
• p orbital 6 electrons
• d orbital 10 electrons
• f orbital 14 electrons

• electron configuration of the element of the
  first three series

irregular confirmation of Cr and Cu

Chromium is steals steal a 4s electron to half fill its

3d sublevel

Copper is steals steal a 4s electron to fill its 3d
