Chapter 2 Atoms and Elements Electron Arrangement and Periodic Law Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 1

Characteristics of Electrons l Extremely small mass l Located outside the nucleus l Moving at extremely high speeds in a sphere l Have specific energy levels Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 2

Energy of Electrons l When atoms are heated, bright lines appear called line spectra l Electrons in atoms arranged in discrete levels. l An electron absorbs energy to “jump” to a higher energy level. l When an electron falls to a lower energy level, energy is emitted. Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 3

Loss and Gain of Energy L o s s G a I n Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 4

Learning Check EA 1 Answer with 1) Energy absorbed 2) Energy emitted 3) No change in energy A. What energy change takes place when an electron in a hydrogen atom moves from the first (n=1) to the second shell (n=2)? B. What energy change takes place when the electron moves from the third shell to the second shell? Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 5

Solution EA 1 A. 1) Energy absorbed B. 2) Energy emitted Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 6

Bohr Model • First model of the electron structure • Gives levels where an electron is most likely to be found • Incorrect today, but a key in understanding the atom Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 7

Quantum Mechanics Describes the arrangement and space occupied by electrons in atoms Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 8

Electron Levels (Shells) l Contain electrons that are similar in energy and distance from nucleus l Low energy electrons are closest to the nucleus l Identify by numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…. . l The first shell (1) is lowest in energy, 2 nd level next and so on 1<2<3<4 Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 9

Number of Electrons Maximum number of electrons in any electron level = 2 n 2 n =1 n =2 n =3 2(1)2 2(2)2 2(3)2 = = = Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 2 8 18 10

Order of Electron Filling All electrons in the same energy level have similar energy. Shell 1 Shell 2 Shell 3 2 electrons 8 electrons 18 electrons (8 first, later 10) Order of filling for the first 20 electrons Shell 1 2 e 2 8 e 3 8 e Lecture. PLUS Timberlake 4 2 e 11
