Atomic Models

Bell Work Describe the Plum Pudding Model in at least

3 sentences.

OBJECTIVES: COMPARE THE RUTHERFORD,BOHR,

AND CURRENT MODEL OF AN ATOM.

LIST THE 4 QUANTUM NUMBERS AND UNDERSTAND THEIR IMPORTANCE

ATOMIC MODELSWhy did scientists come up with atomic models?

After the atomic theory became widely accepted, scientist came up with models that illustrated these concepts. Building models helps us understand what is happening at the microscopic level.

What is the Rutherford model? Electrons revolve around the nucleus in

circular orbits.

Replaced the Plum pudding model.

Could not explain why electrons did not crash into the nucleus.

What is the Bohr model? Electrons can be only certain distances from

the nucleus. Electrons travel around the nucleus in energy

levels. Electrons can move from lower energy levels

to higher energy levels. Electrons can only be in one energy level at a

time.

What is the Current/Quantum Model? Electrons act like particles and waves.

Electrons are located in orbitals and travel around the nucleus.

Orbitals/Electron Clouds are regions where electrons are likely to be found.

Group Activity: Rubric 100% Create an Organized Colorful Poster of the 3

Atomic Models discussed today. Creativity, Correct Information, and Neatness

should be used. At least 4 important facts about each model. All group members need to participate in the

creation and presentation of the poster.

Circle the Atomic Model that is Incorrect

Rutherford - Nucleus at the center; electrons orbit nucleus.

Plum Pudding - Positive & Negative charge imbedded throughout the atom.

Quantum Mechanical - Ground State; energy levels.

What is light? Light can be described as a stream of particles

that moves in waves.

Light waves travel at 3.00 x 108 m/s

What is a wavelength? The distance between two consecutive peaks

or troughs of a wave.

The wavelengths of light can range from 105m to less than 10-13m.(Electromagnetic Spectrum)

What is the electromagnetic Spectrum? Broad range of wavelengths of light. From gamma rays to radio waves. Visible spectrum is a part of the

electromagnetic spectrum.

What is the visible spectrum? The area of the electromagnetic spectrum that

our eyes are sensitive to. Acronym for the Visible Spectrum

What are electron Configurations?

A written arrangement of electrons in an atom.

Shorthand notation of where the electrons are in an atom.

Electrons in an atom tend to have arrangements that have the lowest possible energies.

What are Quantum numbers? A number that specifies the region in which

electrons can be found. The number can be a 1, 2, 3,or 4. Each quantum number can have orbitals There are s- oribitals, p-orbitals, d-orbitals,

and f-orbitals(rememeber orbitals are where electrons are located)

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

States that two, but no more than two, electrons can occupy a singe orbital.

What is the Aufbau Principle?

States that electrons fill orbitals that have the lowest energy first.

What is Hund’s Rule?

States that the orbitals of the same quantum numbers are each occupied by one electron before any pairing occurs (Electrons are represented by arrows).
