Electrons

Arrangement in the Atom

Where are the electrons?

• Electrons are traveling at 6 x 10⁶m/sec around the nucleus

• Perspective of the speed: How long would it take a space

vehicle to travel to the moon at the electron’s speed?

Fastest travel to the moon 8 hours, 35 minutesPluto mission fly-by

Distance from Earth to Moon:383,401 km

Electrons:

• Earth to moon distance: 383,401 km– Convert to meters

– Calculate the time to travel to the moon at the speed of an electron (6 x 10⁶ m/sec):

Distance = Time x Speed

Electrons & Electromagnetic Radiation

• By studying the light emitted when heating up a chemical sample, scientists better understood the electron:– Its position in the atom;– Its energy; & – Its role (bonding = forming compounds)

• Scientists used the electromagnetic radiation to study electrons

Electromagnetic Radiation

• Form of energy that has a wave-like properties

• Characterized by – Wavelength– Frequency– Energy

Electromagnetic spectrum• See video clips: 1. NASA – saved

– 2. www.teachersdomain.org/resource/phy03.sci.phys.energy.emspectrum/

• Visible light

• Higher energy than visible light

• Lower energy than visible light

Electrons will give off electromagnetic radiation

-When “energized” by heat, electricity, light or chemical

reactions.

How and why does this happen?

Energy exists in photons

• A photon has a specific amount (or packet) of energy

• Also use the word “quantum of energy”

• Photons with different energy will have specific wavelengths related to the energy

Bohr’s discovery and model: saved video from Discovery EducationStarts with historical perspective

Energy is related to the Electron’s orbits

• When an atom is:

• The electron will:– Start at the – Jump to – Number of jumps is related to

• Key researchers: Bohr, Plank, Einstein

Schrodinger

Bohr’s Model of the Atom

• Electrons orbit the nucleus at:

• Electrons can be excited by:

• When excited, an electron will absorb only a certain amount of energy, (

Bohr’s model

• When excited, the electron

– Called the _________ state

• The electron does not stay in the excited state but falls back toward the nucleus and releases

Bohr’s model

Bohr’s model

• Ground vs. excited state

• Number of electrons that exist at specific energy levels

• Bohr’s model works for hydrogen but not for the complex atoms

Emission Spectrum Lab

Purpose: To relate the unique emission spectra lines of an element to the

energy levels of the atom.

Essential Question: What are the emission spectra for specific elements?

This is?

How do neon lights produce the glowing colors?

FACTS:

• Neon is a colorless, inert (non-reactive, non-flammable) gas

• Neon lights are tubes filled with neon gas.

Neon atoms

• Normal conditions– Electrons are at the ground state– No light (energy) is emitted

• Electricity passing through the tube– Atoms absorb energy– Electrons become excited and unstable– Electrons are pulled back toward the nucleus– Electromagnetic radiation is emitted

Elements and their electromagnetic radiation

• Emissions spectrum

• Unique for each element

• Electrons are excited by electricity

• When they are pulled back by the ____________, they give off __________

Emission Spectrum

• White light– Write the order of the colors

Emissions Spectra - Simulation

• http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/discharge-lamps

Produce light by bombarding atoms with electrons. See how the characteristic spectra of different elements are produced, and configure your own element's energy states to produce light of different colors.

Emission Spectra

• Unique for each element

• Used to identify elements as part of unknown compounds

Electrons in models of atoms

How did scientists figure out the structure of atoms without looking at them? Try out different models by shooting light at the atom. Check how the prediction of the model matches the experimental results.
