The Bohr Model and The Quantum Mechanical Model

The document summarizes the Bohr model and the quantum mechanical model of atomic structure. The Bohr model depicts electrons orbiting the nucleus in fixed energy levels. Later, the quantum mechanical model was developed based on Plank's quantum theory and de Broglie's proposal that electrons can be described as waves. This model uses quantum numbers and probability distributions to describe electron location and behavior.

Chemistry
a) The Bohr Model
Dalton’s Atomic Model
Plum Pudding Model (Thomson)
Niels Bohr
(Born in Denmark 1885-1962)
 Student of Rutherford
Niels Bohr’s Model (1913)

 Electrons orbit
the nucleus in
circular paths of
fixed energy
(energy levels).
Max Plank

E=hn

E=energy
n=frequency
h=Plank’s constant 6.7x10-34Js
Energy of Emitted Photon
Energy of the emitted photon =

Difference in energy between two states


 Energy emitted by the electron as it leaps
from the higher to the lower energy level is
proportional to the frequency of the light
wave.
 Frequency define the color of visible light.

Niels Bohr’s Atom Cont’d
 Electronscan jump from energy level
to energy level.

 Electronsabsorb or emit light energy


when they jump from one energy level
to another.
Quantum
 A quantum of energy is the amount
of energy required to move an
electron from one energy level to
another.
The energy levels are like the rungs
of a ladder but are not equally
spaced.
Photons
 Photons are bundles of light energy that
is emitted by electrons as they go from
higher energy levels to lower levels.
Excited State and Ground State
 Ground state: the lowest possible energy
level an electron be at.

 Excited state: an energy level higher than


the ground state.
Emission Spectrum
 Light emitted produces a unique
emission spectrum.
Hydrogen Emission Spectrum

Balmer
Series
Bohr Model for Hydrogen
 The Bohr model explained the
emission spectrum of the hydrogen
atom but did not always explain those
of other elements.
b)The Quantum Mechanical Model
Quantum Mechanical Model
 1920’s
 Werner Heisenberg (Uncertainty Principle)
 Louis de Broglie (electron has wave
properties)
 Erwin Schrodinger (mathematical equations
using probability, quantum numbers)
Werner Heisenberg: Uncertainty Principle

 We can not know both


the position and
momentum of a
particle at a given time.
Louis de Broglie, (France, 1892-1987)
Wave Properties of Matter (1923)
Since light waves have a
particle behavior (as shown
by Einstein in the
Photoelectric Effect), then
particles could have a wave
behavior.
de Broglie wavelength
l= h
mv
Electron Motion Around Atom
Shown as a de Broglie Wave
Davisson and Germer (USA, 1927)
confirmed de Broglie’s hypothesis
for electrons.

Electrons produced a diffraction


pattern similar to x-rays.
Example:
 Determine the de Broglie wavelength for an
electron moving at a speed of 9. x 106m/s.
(me= 9.1 x 10 -31 kg)
Answer: 8.09 x 10 -11 m
Erwin Schrodinger, 1925
Quantum (wave) Mechanical Model
of the Atom
 Four quantum
numbers are required
to describe the state of
the hydrogen atom.
Atomic Orbital:

A region in space in which there is high


probability of finding an electron.
Quantum Numbers:

specify the properties of atomic orbitals


and their electrons.
Four Quantum Numbers
1. Principal Quantum Number
2. Orbital Quantum Number
3. Magnetic Quantum Number
4. Spin Quantum Number
Principal Quantum Number, n
 Indicates main energy levels
n = 1, 2, 3, 4…

 Each main energy level has sub-levels


The maximum number of electrons
in a principal energy level is given
by:

Max # electrons = 2n2

n= the principal quantum number


Orbital Quantum Number, ℓ
(Angular Momentum Quantum Number)
 Indicates shape of orbital sublevels
 ℓ = n-1
ℓ sublevel
0 s
1 p
2 d
3 f
4 g
Atomic Orbital s

Degenerate Orbitals
The 3 p orbitals

http://www.rmutphysics.com/CHARUD/scibook/crystal-structure/porbital.gif
 The d orbitals
f orbitals
Magnetic Quantum Number, ml
 Indicates the orientation of the orbital in space.
 Values of ml : integers -l to l
 The number of values represents the number of
orbitals.
 Example:
for l= 2, ml = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2

Which sublevel does this represent?


Answer: d
Electron Spin Quantum Number, (ms or s)

 Indicates the spin of the electron


(clockwise or counterclockwise).
 Values of ms: +1/2, -1/2
Example:
 List the values of the four quantum
numbers for orbitals in the 3d sublevel.
 Answer:
n=3
l=2
ml = -2,-1, 0, +1, +2
ms = +1/2, -1/2 for each pair of electrons
The Electron Cloud

 The electron cloud represents


positions where there is probability of
finding an electron.
The Electron Cloud
The higher the
electron density,
the higher the
probability that
an electron may
be found in that
region.

The Electron Cloud for Hydrogen

90% probability
of finding the
electron within
this space
Probability Curve for Hydrogen
FYI: Schrodinger’s Equations!!!
 y is called the wave function and indicates
the probability of where an electron may
be found.
Quantum Mechanical Model
 Electronsare located in specific
energy levels.

 Thereis no exact path around the


nucleus.

 The model estimates the probability of


finding an electron in a certain
position.
