Now on to quantum numbers…
Quantum Numbers • PRINCIPAL: n energy level, the distance the orbital is from the nucleus (1, 2, 3, 4…) • ANGULAR MOMENTUM: l (s = 0, p = 1, d = 2, f = 3) shape • MAGNETIC: ml spatial orientation (0 for s; -1, 0, +1 for p; -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 for d, etc. ) • SPIN: ms spin (+1/2 or -1/2)
Review • Atomic number = # electrons • Electrons occupy orbitals defined by n, l, m • • Each orbital can hold two electrons Orbitals diffuse electron cloud “lower energy electron” closer to nucleus Outer electrons: “valence” most reactive
Numbers • The principal. Quantum quantum number has the symbol n. n = 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . “shells” (n = K, L, M, N, . . . ) The electron’s energy depends principally on n. 1 2 3
Quantum Numbers • The angular momentum quantum number has the symbol . = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . . . (n-1) = s, p, d, f, g, h, . . . . (n-1) • tells us the shape of the orbitals. • These orbitals are the volume around the atom that the electrons occupy 90 -95% of the time.
Quantum Numbers • The symbol for the magnetic quantum number is m , representing the spatial orientation. m = - , (- + 1), (- +2), . . . 0, . . . . , ( -2), ( 1), • If = 0 (or an s orbital), then m = 0. y • If = 1 (or a p orbital), then m = -1, 0, +1. z x
• If = 2 (or a d orbital), then m = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2. • If = 3 (or an f orbital), then m = -3, -2, 1, 0, +1, +2, +3. • Theoretically, this series continues on to g, h, i, etc
Spin quantum number • The last quantum number is the spin quantum number which has the symbol ms. • The spin quantum number only has two possible values. – ms = +1/2 or -1/2
Spin of electron
• Spin quantum number effects: – Every orbital can hold up to two electrons. • Consequence of the Pauli Exclusion Principle. – The two electrons are designated as having – one spin up and one spin down • Spin describes the direction of the electron’s magnetic fields.

Atomic Orbitals: s, p, d, f • Atomic orbitals are regions of space where the probability of finding an electron about an atom is highest. • s orbital properties: – There is one s orbital per n level. =0 and only one value of m = 0
• s orbitals are spherically symmetric For every s orbital: l= 0 and ml = 0 The only thing that changes for s orbitals is n.

p orbitals • p orbital properties: – The first p orbitals appear in the n = 2 shell. • p orbitals are peanut or dumbbell shaped volumes. • There are 3 p orbitals per n level. – The three orbitals are named px, py, pz. = 1 for all p orbitals. m = -1, 0, +1 (designate three orientations)

d orbital properties: – The first d orbitals appear in the n = 3 shell. • The five d orbitals have two different shapes: – 4 are clover leaf shaped. – 1 is peanut shaped with a doughnut around it. – The orbitals lie directly on the Cartesian axes or are rotated 45 o from the axes. l. There –The are 5 d orbitals per n level. five orbitals are named: –They have an = 2. –m = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 (5 values of m )

• Hund’s rule tells us that the electrons will fill the p orbitals by placing electrons in each orbital singly and with same spin until half-filled. Then the electrons will pair to finish the p orbitals.
