PREPARED BY: TYPE YOUR NAME HERE
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
 Explain how the Quantum
Mechanical Model of the atom
describes the energies and
positions of the electrons
Learning Goals
 Compare the Bohr and quantum mechanical
models of the atom.
 Explain the impact of de Broglie’s wave particle
duality and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle on
the current view of electrons in atoms.
 Identify the relationships among a hydrogen
atom’s energy levels, sublevels, and atomic
orbitals.
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
Einstein’s theory of light’s dual nature
accounted for several unexplainable
phenomena, but it did not explain why
atomic emission spectra of elements
were discontinuous.
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
In 1913, Niels Bohr, a Danish
physicist working in Rutherford’s
laboratory, proposed a quantum
model for the hydrogen atom that
seemed to answer this question.
Bohr’s Model of the
Atom
The lowest allowable energy state of
an atom is called its ground state.
When an atom gains energy, it is in an
excited state.
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
 Bohr suggested that an electron moves around the
nucleus only in certain allowed circular orbits.
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
Each orbit was given a
number, called the quantum
number.
Bohr orbits are like steps of a
ladder, each at a specific
distance from the nucleus and
each at a specific energy.
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
Hydrogen’s single electron is in the n =
1 orbit when it is in the ground state.
When energy is added, the electron moves
to the n = 2 orbit.
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
The electron releases energy as it falls
back towards the ground state.
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
 Bohr’s model explained the hydrogen’s
spectral lines, but failed to explain any other
element’s lines.
 For this and other reasons, the Bohr model
was replaced with a more sophisticated model
called the quantum-mechanical or wave-
mechanical model.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
 Louis de Broglie (1892–1987) hypothesized
that particles, including electrons, could also
have wavelike behaviors.
Electrons do not behave like particles flying
through space.
We cannot, in general, describe their exact paths.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
 Heisenberg showed it is impossible to take any
measurement of an object without disturbing it.
 The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states
that it is fundamentally impossible to know
precisely both the velocity and position of a
particle at the same time.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
The only quantity that can be
known is the probability for an
electron to occupy a certain
region around the nucleus.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
 Schrödinger treated electrons as waves in a
model called the quantum mechanical
model of the atom.
Schrödinger’s equation applied equally well to
elements other than hydrogen (unlike Bohr’s
model).
Quantum Mechanical
Model
Orbitals are different from
orbits in that they represent
probability maps that show a
statistical distribution of where
the electron is likely to be
found.
Quantum Mechanical
Model
 In the quantum-mechanical model, a
number and a letter specify an orbital.
The lowest-energy orbital is called
the 1s orbital.
It is specified by the number 1
and the letter s.
Hydrogen’s Atomic Orbitals
The number is called the Principal
quantum number (n) and it
indicates the relative size and
energy of atomic orbitals.
n specifies the atom’s major energy
levels, called the principal energy
levels.
Hydrogen’s Atomic Orbitals
 Energy sublevels are contained within the principal
energy levels.
Hydrogen’s Atomic Orbitals
 Each energy sublevel relates to orbitals of different
shape.

 f sublevel:
Hydrogen’s Atomic Orbitals
 Orbitals are sometimes represented by dots, where the
dot density is proportional to the probability of finding
the electron.
 The dot density for the 1s orbital is greatest near the
nucleus and decreases farther away from the nucleus.
 The electron is more likely to be found close to the
nucleus than far away from it.
Hydrogen’s Atomic Orbitals
Hydrogen’s Atomic Orbitals
 At any given time, hydrogen’s electron
can occupy just one orbital.
When hydrogen is in the ground state, the
electron occupies the 1s orbital.
When the atom gains a quantum of energy,
the electron is excited to one of the
unoccupied orbitals.
Quantum Numbers
 A set of quantum numbers gives an
information about the atomic orbital where an
electrons may be found
 A. principal
 B. Azimuthal
 C. Magnetic
 D. Spin
A. Principal quantum number (n)
- indicates the energy level
n= 1,2,3,4 ….
B. Azimutham Quantum Number (ℓ)
- specifies the sublevel or subshell
ℓ= 0 to n-1
c. Magnetic quantum number (mℓ)
- indicates the specific orbital within the sublevel where
the electron is found
-ℓ to +ℓ
Example: n=1, ℓ = 0 , mℓ = 0
n =2, ℓ = 0,1 , mℓ = 0, -1, 0,
+1
D. Spin quantum Number
- according to Pauli Exclusion
Principle, only a maximum of two
electrons can occupy an orbital, and
they must have opposite spins to
minimize repulsion between them.
+ ½ or - ½
