The Electron Cloud Model (wave-mechanical or
quantum-mechanical model)
• An atom consists of a dense nucleus composed of protons and neutrons
surrounded by electrons that exist in different clouds at the various energy
levels. REGION OF PROBABILITY
• Erwin Schrodinger and Werner Heisenburg developed probability
functions to determine the regions or clouds in which electrons would most
likely be found.
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Whenever a measurement is made
there is always some uncertainty
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle
states that it is impossible to know both
the momentum and the position of a
particle at the same time.
 This limitation is critical when dealing with
small particles such as electrons.
 But it does not matter for ordinary-sized
objects such as cars or airplanes.
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
 To locate an electron, you might strike it
with a photon.
 The electron has such a small mass that
striking it with a photon affects its motion
in a way that cannot be predicted
accurately.
 The very act of measuring the position of
the electron changes its momentum,
making its momentum uncertain.
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Before collision: A photon
strikes an electron during an
attempt to observe the
electron’s position.
 After collision: The impact
changes the electron’s
momentum, making it
uncertain.
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
 If we want accuracy in position, we must
use short wavelength photons because
the best resolution we can get is about the
wavelength of the radiation used. Short
wavelength radiation implies high
frequency, high energy photons. When
these collide with the electrons, they
transfer more momentum to the target. If
we use longer wavelength, i.e less
energetic photons, we compromise
resolution and position.
The de Broglie wavelength is the wavelength, λ, associated with a
object and is related to its momentum and mass.
Introduction
In 1923, Louis de Broglie, a French physicist, proposed a hypothesis
to explain the theory of the atomic structure. By using a series of
substitution de Broglie hypothesizes particles to hold properties of
waves. Within a few years, de Broglie's hypothesis was tested by
scientists shooting electrons and rays of lights through slits. What
scientists discovered was the electron stream acted the same was as
light proving de Broglie correct.
De Broglie wavelength
Deriving the De Broglie Wavelength
1. De Broglie first used Einstein's famous equation relating matter and
energy:
E=mc2
with
•E= energy,
•m= mass,
•c= speed of light
2. Using Planck's theory which states every quantum of a wave has a
discrete amount of energy given by Planck's equation:
E=hν
with
•E= energy,
•h= Plank's constant (6.62607 x 10-34 J s),
•ν= frequency
3. Since de Broglie believed particles and wave have the same traits,
he hypothesized that the two energies would be equal:
mc2=hν
4. Because real particles do not travel at the speed of light, De
Broglie submitted velocity (v) for the speed of light (c).
mv2=hν
5. Through the equation λ, de Broglie substituted v/λ for ν and
arrived at the final expression that relates wavelength and particle
with speed.
mv2=h v/λ
Hence:
λ=hv/mv2
=h/mv
=h/p
[p= momentum of particle=mv]

Ground versus Excited State
• Electrons have the ability to move between energy levels.
• The “ground state” refers the energy level that a given electron usually belongs to.
• The “excited state” refers to a higher energy level that a given electron moves to as
it gains energy.
• Electrons that have gained energy and “jumped” to the excited state will
eventually return to the ground state and release its energy in the form of
a photon (light energy).
• As a result of this process, different atoms will give off (emit)
unique (characteristic) colors (bands) of light. This is called the
Bright Line Spectrum.

What are Quantum Numbers?
An electron’s unique “fingerprint” that
describes it position and behavior
Quantum numbers are a set of values that
describes the state of an electron including its
distance from the nucleus, the orientation and
type of orbital where it is likely to be found, and its
spin.
 Principal quantum number (n) - describes the
SIZE of the orbital or ENERGY LEVEL of the
atom.
 Angular quantum number (l) or sublevels -
describes the SHAPE of the orbital.
Quantum Numbers
 Magnetic quantum number (m) - describes an
orbital's ORIENTATION in space.
 Spin quantum number (s) - describes the SPIN
or direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) in
which an electron spins.
Quantum Numbers
Principle Quantum Number (n) or
Energy Level
 integer values used to specify the shell/size/level
the electron is in
 describes how far away from the nucleus the
electron shell or level under consideration is
 the lower the number, the closer the energy level
is to the atom's nucleus and less energy
 maximum # of electrons that can fit in an energy
level is given by formula 2n2
 The principal quantum number, n,
describes the energy level on which
the orbital resides.
 The values of n are integers ≥ 0.
n = 1, 2, 3, etc.
Quantum no.ppt
Angular Quantum Number (l)
or Sub-level
 determines the shape of the orbital
 they are numbered but are also given
letters referring to the orbital type
 Allowed values of l are integers ranging from
0 to n − 1.
For example, if n = 1, l = 0
if n = 2, l can equal 0 or 1
 They are numbered but are also given
letters referring to the orbital type
l=0 refers to the s-orbitals
l=1 refers to the p-orbitals
l=2 refers to the d-orbitals
l=3 refers to the f-orbitals
Magnetic quantum number (m)
or Orbitals
 the third of a set of quantum numbers
 tells us how many orbitals there are of a
particular type and their orientation in
space of a particular orbital
 only two electrons can fit in an orbital
 = electron
 Describes the orientation of an orbital with
respect to a magnetic field
 This translates as the three-dimensional
orientation of the orbital.
 Values of ml are integers ranging from -l to l:
−l ≤ ml ≤ l.
Values of l Values of ml Orbital
designation
Number of
orbitals
0 0 s 1
1 -1, 0, +1 p 3
2 -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 d 5
3 -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 f 7
Quantum no.ppt
Spin quantum number (s)
 the fourth of a set of quantum numbers
 number specifying the direction of the spin
of an electron around its own axis.
only two electrons of opposite spin may
occupy an orbit
the only possible values of a spin quantum
number are +1/2 or -1/2.
 The aufbau principle: The aufbau principle states that in
the ground state of an atom or ion, electrons fill atomic
orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before
occupying higher levels.The aufbau principle is sometimes
called the building-up principle or the Aufbau rule. For
example, the 1s shell is filled before the 2s subshell is
occupied. In this way, the electrons of an atom or ion form
the most stable electron configuration possible.
 Hund's Rule: Every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied
with one electron before any one orbital is doubly
occupied, and all electrons in singly occupied orbitals have
the same spin
