Transcript of Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000 Subshells and Orbitals.
Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000
Quantum Mechanics
Describes the arrangement of electrons in atoms in terms of:Main or principal energy levels (n)Energy subshellsOrbitals (space occupied within the
atom)
Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000
Principal Energy Levels (n)
Contain electrons that areClose in energySimilar distance from nucleusHave values of n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…..Maximum number of electrons = 2n2
n =1 2(1)2 = 2
n =2 2(2)2 =8
n=3
Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000
Energy Levels (Shells)
• A group of electrons in an atom all having the same principal quantum number (n)
n = 1, 2, 3, …
• The first shell (n = 1) is lowest in energy, 2nd level next and so on 1<2<3<4
• The number of electron in each shell is limited to 2n2
n = 1 2n2 = 2
n = 2 2n2 = ____
Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000
Energy Levels for Electrons
Some possible electron transitions for the first three energy levels are shown below. The negative value means that the electron in the atom has a lower energy than a free electron
Energy Level Energy, E
n=3 ___________________ (-) 2.420 x 1019 J
n=2 __________________ (-) 5.445 x 1019 J
n=1 __________________ (-) 2.178 x 1018 J

Learning Check S1
A. What energy change (J) takes place when an electron in a hydrogen atom moves from the first (n=1) to the second shell (n=2)?
B. What energy change (J) takes place when the electron moves from the third shell to the second shell?
Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000
Solution S1
A. What energy change takes place when an electron in a hydrogen atom moves from the first (n=1) to the second shell (n=2)?
1.634 x 10-18 J of energy must be absorbed.
B. What energy change takes place when the electron moves from the third shell to the second shell?
(-5.445 x 10-19J ) - (2.2420 x 10-19 J) = -3.025 x 1019J will be emitted as electron falls from a higher to a lower energy state
Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000
Subshells
Energy sublevels within energy level
All electrons in a subshell have the
same energy
Designated s, p, d, f ..
Sublevel energy: s<p<d<f
Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000
Electron Locations
Main Energy Levels Sublevels
n=4 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f
n=3 3s, 3p, 3d
n=2 2s, 2p
n=1 1s
Timberlake LecturePLUS 2000
Electrons Allowed
All electrons in the same sublevel have the same energy.
All 2s electrons have the same energy. All 2p electrons have the same energy which is slightly higher than the energy of the 2s electrons
s sublevel 2 electrons
p sublevel 6 electrons
d sublevel 10 electrons
f sublevel 14 electrons
