Characteristics of Atoms • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. • Protons

Characteristics of Atoms • Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. • Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus (center of the atom). • Electrons are located outside of the nucleus. Timberlake Lecture. PLUS 2000

Quantum Model • We learned about: – Dalton’s atomic theory – J. J. Thompson’s

Quantum Model • We learned about: – Dalton’s atomic theory – J. J. Thompson’s plum pudding model of the atom – Rutherford’s model of the atom – Bohr model of the atom • The model used today is called the quantum model

Describing Electrons • There are two ways to express the number and location of electrons in an atom: – Orbital Diagrams – Electron Configurations Timberlake Lecture. PLUS 2000

Orbital Diagrams • Visual representation of how electrons are placed in orbitals. • Electrons

Orbital Diagrams • Visual representation of how electrons are placed in orbitals. • Electrons are represented by arrows. • In an orbital diagram, electrons have opposite spins (designated by opposite arrow directions). Timberlake Lecture. PLUS 2000

Electron Configuration • Tells us the most likely position of where electrons can be found. • It is like the address of an electron. • Electron configurations are used instead of orbital diagrams because they are less cumbersome. Timberlake Lecture. PLUS 2000

Steps for filling in an Orbital Diagram 1. Identify the number of electrons. 2. Fill in the orbital diagram using the following rules: A. Aufbau Principle-Fill in the lowest energy orbitals first. B. Pauli Exclusion Principle-Each orbital (block) can contain 2 arrows. The arrows must be pointed in opposite directions. C. Hund’s Rule Every orbital in a subshell must have one electron in it before any one orbital can be filled with a second electron. Timberlake Lecture. PLUS 2000
