The Nature of Light
Low E
High E
Wavelength (λ) = distance traveled between successive peaks (nm).
Frequency (ν) = number of waves passing a fixed point in one second
(waves/s or 1/s or s-1 or Hz).
2.5
The energy of a photon of electromagnetic radiation is calculated by: E = h ν
where h = 6.63 x 10-34 J.s (Planck’s constant)
The wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic radiation are related by: c = λν
where c = 3 x 108 m/s (the speed of light)
Energy and frequency are directly related- higher frequency means higher energy.
Wavelength and frequency are indirectly related- higher frequency means lower wavelength.
2.5
What is the energy associated with a photon of light with a wavelength of 240 nm?
c = λν
= cνλ
ν = 3 x 108 m/s
E = h ν
240 nm x nm
10-9 m = 1.3 x 1015 s-1
E = (6.63 x 10-34 J.s) (1.3 x 1015 s-1)
E = 8.6 x 10-19 J
The Electromagnetic Spectrum: Wavelength
2.4
The various types of radiation seem different to our senses, yet they differ only in their respective λ and ν.
meters
1 m = 109 nm 1 nm = 10-9 m
Visible: λ
= 700 - 400 nm
R O Y G B I V
Infrared (IR) : longest of the visible spectrum, heat ray absorptions cause molecules to bend and stretch.
Microwaves: cause molecules to rotate.
Short λ range: includes UV (ultraviolet), X-rays, and gamma rays.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum 2: Wavelength, Energy Frequency
UV radiation has sufficient energy to cause molecular bonds to break
Energy + 3 O2 2 O3
Ozone is an allotropic form of oxygen.
Energy must be absorbed (endothermic) for this reaction to occur.
Element Allotropesoxygen O2 , O3carbon graphite, diamond, buckminister fullerenes
2.1
An allotrope is two or more forms of the same element that differ in their chemicalstructure and therefore their properties.
Difference between O2 and O3 ? Allotropes
2.7
Biological Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation
The consequences depend primarily on:
1. The energy associated with the radiation.
2. The length of time of the exposure.
3. The sensitivity of the organism to that radiation.
An Australian product uses “smart bottle” technology; bottle color changes from white to blue when exposed to UV light.
The most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma, is linked with the intensity of UV radiation and the latitude at which you live.
Design your investigation…
• Questions: Where is UV and what materials are good at blocking it? How do the materials rank?
• Things to consider:– Quantification – Controls– Multiple Trials – ?
Units for Ozone Measurement
• Dobson Units• 1 Dobson = 1 part per billion of ozone in
air.• In the 1960’s ozone minima in Antarctica
was about 300 Dobsons. In 30 years it has dropped to about 100 Dobsons.
How is Ozone Formed• The Chapman Cycle• Oxygen plus UV photon ozone• Step 1: O2 --------> O + O• Step 2: O2 + O ---------> O3• The sunlight (UV) excites the oxygen
molecules causing them to split into atomic oxygen. The released oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form ozone.
Natural Ozone Destruction
• Chapman Cycle (cont’d)• Step 3:• O3 + UV photon --------> O2 + O• Step 4: O3 + O ---------> 2O2
How is Ozone Destroyed… “Unnaturally”
• Mario Molina and F. Sherwood Rowland 1974 - first proposed ozone depletion by CFCs
• CFCs…..Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons.– Spray cans, air conditioners, refrigerators,
foams, fire extinguishers etc.• Very controversial originally• Won the Nobel Prize 1995 for this work• Banned in industrialized countries, still used
in developing countries
CFCs and ozone destruction
• Very stable - atmospheric residence times in the troposphere of 10 to over 100 years
• Eventually are mixed above the ozone in the stratosphere
• UVC breaks down CFCs to Cl free radicals (very reactive)
• Cl radicals destroy the ozone
Today (Thurs 2/26)• Finish Ozone Layer: Chemistry,
Destruction, Weather, and Policy• Focus Group Activity• Atoms, Covalent Bonds, and Lewis
structures• In-Class Worksheet #2
First, UV radiation breaks a carbon-halogen bond:
Photon (λ
< 220 nm) + CCl2 F2 .CClF2 + Cl. (free radicals)
2.9
How CFCs Interact with Ozone
2.9
2Cl. + 2O3 2ClO. + 2O2
2 ClO. ClOOCl
The chlorine radical attacks an O3 molecule:
Then two chlorine monoxide radicals combine:
UV photon + ClOOCl ClOO. + Cl.
ClOO. Cl. + O2
The ClOOCl molecule then decomposes:
The net reaction is: 2 O3 3O2
The Cl. radicals are free to attack more O3
The Cl. radicals are both consumed and generated; they act as catalysts
Polar Stratospheric
Clouds
Under extreme cold, with no wind, PSCs can form.
On the surface of the PSC, “safe” molecules are converted to reactive species.
Reactive species react with O3 .

• About the NASA spacecraft for measurements: http://aura.gsfc.nasa.gov/spacecraft/index.html
• NASA’s site on air pollution and Beijing Olympicshttp://aura.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/china.html
International Policy
• Montreal Protocol– Int’l agreement signed in 1987– More stringent in 1990, 1992, and 1997
• Black Markets• Substitutes – replace one or more of the
halons with hydrogen– Less stable
2.9
HCFCs are alternatives to CFCs: they decompose more readily in the troposphere so they will not accumulate to the same extent in the stratosphere.
Summary: Why is ozone depletion a problem?
• Increase UV radiation reaching the Earth’s surface– Increased skin cancers– Impact plant growth
• What is UV radiation?
Focus Group Activity
– Pair up as assigned– Read partner’s paragraphs– Discuss assignment with partner
• How did you think about pro-environment and smokestack sides?
• What challenges did you face when thinking about topic and this assignment? (Try to brainstorm solutions with your partners)
• Do your topics overlap? If so, how will you limit the overlap in your papers and presentations?
Objectives• Protons, neutrons, and electrons• Atomic number = number of protons or electrons
in an electrically neutral atom • Mass number – What is it? What does it tell you?• Outer electrons – What are they?; Why are they
important; How do you use the periodic table to tell how many outershell electrons
• Isotopes – two or more forms of an element that differ in number of neutrons
• Draw Lewis structures of atoms• Draw Lewis structures of molecules

Atomic number (Z)

-The number of protons andelectrons in a neutral atom.
-The sum of the protons and neutrons.

2.2
Isotopes are two or more forms of the same element (same number of protons) whose atoms differ in number of neutrons, and hence in mass.
Isotopes of carbon: C-12, C-13, C-14also written as: 12C 13C 14C
The electrons in the outermost energy levels are called valence electrons.
2.2
The group number (of the representative elements) on the periodic table tells you the number of valence electrons.

Lewis structures of atomsWe represent atoms and valence electrons with Lewis structures…

What about C and Cl?

Representing molecules with Lewis structures:
Typical valence for selected atoms = the # of bonds an atom typically forms
Element Typical valence
Classification
H, X (X= F, Cl, Br, I)
1 monovalent
O 2 divalent
N 3 trivalent
C 4 tetravalent
Molecular Structure• Covalent bond – a chemical bond where
electrons are shared by atoms
• Octet rule – general rule that in a molecule every atom is associated with 8 outer electrons (except H, which is associated with __ outer electrons)– Lewis structures for molecules – NH3 , – H2 , Cl2 , O2 , N2– Single bond, double bond, triple bond– examples
Representing molecules with Lewis structures:
2.3
Consider water, H2 O:
1. Find sum of valence electrons: 1 O atom x 6 valence electrons per atom = 6
+ 2 H atoms x 1 valence electron per atom = +28 valence electrons
2. Arrange the electrons in pairs; use whatever electron pairs needed to connect the atoms, then distribute the remaining electron pairs so that the octet rule is satisfied:
OH H
lone pair
bonding pair
OH H

Try these; draw valid Lewis structures for:
CO2

SH H
Sulfur is under oxygen; think of H2 O

structures for HNO3 ?
