• Development of the Atomic Theory
• Quantum Mechanics and Atomic Orbitals
• Wave Behavior of Matter
• Introduction to the Periodic Table
• Electron Configuration
Empedocles
Empedocles stated that
matter was made of 4
elements: earth, air, fire,
water.
Democritus
• Ancient Greek philosopher
(460 - 370 B.C.)
• Believed there was a limit to
how far you could divide
matter
• Would eventually end up with
a piece of matter that could
not be cut
• Called “atomos” (indivisible)
Democritus
• Atoms
• Small particles
• Cannot be further split into smaller portions
• Always moving
• Form different materials by joining together
• Has void between them
• Completely solid
• Homogeneous, with no internal structure
• Can differ in size, shape, and weight
Democritus
• Theory was
forgotten for a long
time because it was
not believed by
more famous
philosophers
(Aristotle and
Plato)
John Dalton
• Brought back
Democritus’ idea in
the early 19th
century
Dalton’s Postulates
Each element is composed of
extremely small indivisible particles
called atoms.
Dalton’s Postulates
All atoms of a given element
are identical to one another in
mass and other properties,
but the atoms of one element
are different from the atoms
of all other elements.
Dalton’s Postulates
Compounds are formed when
atoms of more than one element
combine; a given compound
always has the same relative
number and kind of atoms.
Dalton’s Postulates
Atoms of an element are not changed into atoms of a
different element by chemical reactions; atoms are
neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
Law of Constant
Composition
Formulated by Joseph
Proust
Also known as the law
of definite proportions.
The elemental
composition of a pure
substance never varies.
Example: Water
• Water always contains the same two
elements: hydrogen and oxygen.
• The percent by mass of hydrogen in water is
11.2%.
• The percent by mass of oxygen in water is
88.8%.
• Water always has these percentages. If the
percentages were different the compound
would not be water.
Example: Hydrogen
Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide always contains the same
two elements: hydrogen and oxygen.
The percent by mass of hydrogen in hydrogen
peroxide is 5.9%.
The percent by mass of oxygen in hydrogen
peroxide is 94.1%.
Hydrogen peroxide always has these
percentages. If the percentages were different
the compound would not be hydrogen
peroxide.

• Illustrating the Law of Multiple Proportions
• The following data were collected for several compounds of nitrogen
and oxygen:
• Mass of Nitrogen That Combines With 1 g of Oxygen
• Compound A 1.750 g
• Compound B 0.8750 g
• Compound C 0.4375 g
Law of Conservation of
Mass
• Contributed by Antoine-
Laurent Lavoisier
• The total mass of
substances present at the
end of a chemical process
is the same as the mass of
substances present before
the process took place.
Michael Faraday
• Made a statement that the atom is a neutral
entity
• Discovered that certain substances, when
dissolved in water, conducted an electric
current.
• Found that atoms of some elements moved
to the cathode and some moved to the
anode
• Concluded they were electrically charged
and called them ions
William Crookes
• British scientist who concluded that
cathode rays in an evacuated tube
consist of a stream of charged
particles produced at the cathode in
1879.
H
• Every atom with an atomic number of 1 is a
hydrogen atom.

Example : Carbon
C
• Every atom with an atomic number of 6 is a
carbon atom.

Atomic Mass
• Atomic and molecular masses can be measured with
great accuracy with a mass spectrometer.
Average Mass
• Because in the real world we use large amounts of
atoms and molecules, we use average masses in
calculations.
• Calculated from the isotopes of an element weighted
by their relative abundances.
Sample Exercise
Naturally occurring chlorine is 75.78% 35Cl, which has
an atomic mass of 34.969 amu, and 24.22% 37Cl, which
has an atomic mass of 36.966 amu. Calculate the
average atomic mass (that is, the atomic weight) of
chlorine.
Sample Exercise
Three isotopes of silicon occur in nature: 28Si (92.23%),
which has an atomic mass of 27.97693 amu; 29Si
(4.68%), which has an atomic mass of 28.97649 amu;
and 30Si (3.09%), which has an atomic mass of 29.97377
amu. Calculate the atomic weight of silicon.
Sample Exercise
• Gallium has an atomic weight of 69.7174 amu. If one
isotope has a mass of 68.9257 amu and has a relative
abundance of 70.9249%, find the mass of another
isotope with a relative abundance of 29.6%?
Other Sub-Atomic Particles
• Murray Gell-Mann/George
Zweig proposed the theory of
hadrons (1963)
Other Sub-Atomic Particles
The particles discovered have been classified into several categories. Three of the
most important classes are as follows:
HADRONS (bulky) are particles that respond to the strong force and have internal
structure. (Protons, neutrons and hyperons called baryons and kaons and pions
called mesons)
LEPTONS (small) are particles that do not respond to the strong force and have no
internal structure. (Muon, electron, mu neutrino)
QUARKS are particles with no internal structure that are thought to be
fundamental constituents of hadrons. Neutrons and protons are hadrons that are
thought to be composed of three quarks each.
Hadrons
• BARYON MESON
Other Sub-Atomic
Particles
Particle physicists have discovered new properties of
matter they call “COLOR”, “CHARM”, and
“STRANGENESS” and have postulated conservation
laws involving these properties. This area of science is
extremely important because it should help us to
understand the interactions of matter in a more
elegant and unified way (UNIFIED FIELD THEORY)
Other Sub-Atomic Particles
Originally, there are three (3) different quarks are up, down, and
strange
Each quark is assigned a color: red, blue and green
Their antiquarks are: cyan, yellow, and magenta
“Color” is the subnuclear counterpart of the quantum no. of an
electron
The gluon acts as carrier between quarks providing binding force
through exchange of colors; its grip increases with distance
Other Sub-Atomic Particles
In 1974, two (2) new subatomic particles were
discovered called J and psi particles these
particles have large masses and long half-lives
they could not be explained by only 3 quarks their
existence necessitated the formulation of 3 new
quarks called charm, truth, and beauty.
ELECTRONIC
STRUCTURE OF ATOMS
Behavior of Atoms
• Assumption that molecules behave like rebounding balls, physicists
were able to predict and explain some macroscopic phenomena, such
as the pressure exerted by a gas.
• Did not account for the stability of molecules; that is, it could not
explain the forces that hold atoms together.
• Properties of atoms and molecules are not governed by the same laws
that work so well for larger objects.
The Nature of Waves
• A wave can be thought of as a
vibrating disturbance by which
energy is transmitted.
• The speed of a wave depends on
the type of wave and the nature
of the medium through which
the wave is traveling (for
example, air, water, or a vacuum).
The Nature of
Waves
• The distance between identical points on successive waves is called
the wavelength λ (lambda).

Heating of Solids
• When solids are heated, they emit
electromagnetic radiation over a wide
range of wavelengths.
Max Planck
• German physicist who started the new era in
physics in 1900.
• While analyzing the data on the radiation
emitted by solids heated to various
temperatures, he discovered that atoms and
molecules emit energy only in certain
discrete quantities, or quanta.
• Physicists had always assumed that energy is
continuous, so his quantum theory turned
physics upside down.
Quantum Theory
• Energy is always emitted in integral multiples of hν. At the time Planck
presented his theory, he could not explain why energies should be
fixed or quantized in this manner. Starting with this hypothesis,
however, he had no trouble correlating the experimental data for
emission by solids over the entire range of wavelengths; they all
supported the quantum theory.
Albert Einstein
• German-American physicist used quantum
theory in 1905 to solve the photoelectric
effect, a phenomenon in which electrons are
ejected from the surface of certain metals
exposed to light of at least a certain minimum
frequency.
Photoelectric Effect
• The number of electrons ejected was proportional to the intensity (or
brightness) of the light, but the energies of the ejected electrons were
not. Below the threshold frequency no electrons were ejected no
matter how intense the light.
• Could not be explained by the wave theory of light.
• Einstein suggested that a beam of light is really a stream of particles.
These particles of light are now called photons.
• Using Planck’s quantum theory of radiation as a starting point,
Einstein deduced that each photon must possess energy.
Photoelectric Effect
• Electrons are held in a metal by attractive forces, and so removing
them from the metal requires light of a sufficiently high frequency to
break them free.
• Shining a beam of light onto a metal surface can be thought of as
shooting a beam of photons at the metal atoms.
Photoelectric Effect
• If the frequency of photons is such that hν is exactly equal to the energy
that binds the electrons in the metal, then the light will have just
enough energy to knock the electrons loose. If we use light of a higher
frequency, then not only will the electrons be knocked loose, but they
will also acquire some kinetic energy.
• The more intense beam of light consists of a larger number of photons;
consequently, it ejects more electrons from the metal’s surface than the
weaker beam of light. Thus, the more intense the light, the greater the
number of electrons emitted by the target metal; the higher the
frequency of the light, the greater the kinetic energy of the ejected
electrons.
Line Spectrum
• A particular source of radiant energy
may emit a single wavelength
(monochromatic readiation) or of
different wavelengths.
• When the wavelengths are separated, a
spectrum is produced.
What happens when elements are
introduced into the flame of a burner?
• Different colors appear depending on the element introduced.
• This became the basis of the flame test.

An element not only changes the color of the flame but also changes
the appearance of the spectrum.

Emission Spectrum
• The emission spectra of atoms in the gas phase do not show a
continuous spread of wavelengths
• The atoms produce bright lines in different parts of the visible
spectrum.
• These line spectra are the light emission only at specific wavelengths.
Line Spectrum
Each element gives a unique set of lines . (No two elements produce
the same arrangement of lines.)
This uniqueness of the lines allows the element to be identified thru its
line spectrum.

The Bohr Atomic
Model
• Bohr’s calculations succeeded very well in correlating the
experimentally observed spectral lines with electron energy levels for
the hydrogen atom.
• Bohr’s methods did not succeed for heavier atoms.
• More theoretical work on atomic structure was needed.
Louis De Broglie
• French physicist who, in 1924, reasoned that if
light waves can behave like a stream of
particles (photons), then perhaps particles
such as electrons can possess wave properties.
• Wavelength of ordinary-sized objects, such as
a baseball, are too small to be observed.
• For objects the size of an electron the
wavelength can be detected.
Werner Heisenberg
• The dual nature of electrons was particularly
troublesome because of the electron’s
exceedingly small mass.
• To describe the problem of trying to locate a
subatomic particle that behaves like a wave,
the German physicist Werner Heisenberg
formulated what is now known as the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle: It is
impossible to know simultaneously both the
momentum (mass times velocity) and the
position of a particle with certainty.
Erwin Schrödinger
• Austrian physicist who, in 1926, using a
complicated mathematical technique,
formulated an equation that describes the
behavior and energies of submicroscopic
particles in general, an equation analogous to
Newton’s laws of motion for macroscopic
objects.
• The Schrödinger equation incorporates both
particle behavior, in terms of mass m, and wave
behavior, in terms of a wave function ψ (psi),
which depends on the location in space of the
system (such as an electron in an atom).
Quantum Mechanics
• Schröedinger’s work led to a new branch of physics called wave or
quantum mechanics.
• Using Schröedinger’s wave mechanics, the probability of finding an
electron in a certain region around the atom can be determined.
• The actual location of an electron within an atom cannot be
determined.
Quantum
Mechanics
• Based on wave mechanics it is clear that electrons are not revolving
around the nucleus in orbits.
• Instead of being located in orbits the electrons are located in orbitals.
• An orbital is a region around the nucleus where there is a high
probability of finding an electron.
• The concept of electron density gives the probability that an electron
will be found in a particular region of an atom.
Quantum Mechanical Model
Quantum Mechanical Model
• When we say that an electron is in a certain orbital, we mean that the
distribution of the electron density or the probability of locating the
electron in space is described by the square of the wave function
associated with that orbital.
Quantum Numbers
• In quantum mechanics, three quantum numbers are required to
describe the distribution of electrons, derived from the mathematical
solution of the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom.
• They are called the principal quantum number, the angular
momentum quantum number, and the magnetic quantum number.
These quantum numbers will be used to describe atomic orbitals and
to label electrons that reside in them.
• A fourth quantum number—the spin quantum number—describes
the behavior of a specific electron and completes the description of
electrons in atoms.
The Principal Quantum
Number (n)
• Can have integral values 1, 2, 3, and so forth.
• In a hydrogen atom, the value of n determines the energy of an
orbital.
• Relates to the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in a
particular orbital.
• The larger n is, the greater the average distance of an electron in the
orbital from the nucleus and therefore the larger the orbital.
• A collection of orbitals with the same value of n is frequently called a
shell.
As n increases, the
energy of the electron
increases.

assigned a principal
quantum number n.

The Angular Momentum
Quantum Number (l)
• Tells us the “shape” of the orbitals.
• The values of l depend on the value of n.
• For a given value of n, l has possible integral values from 0 to (n - 1)
• The value of , is generally designated by the letters s, p, d, f, g, etc.
• One or more orbitals with the same n and l values are referred to as a
subshell.
Each principal energy level
10.7, 10.8
is subdivided into sublevels. 149
The s Orbital
• An s orbital is spherical in shape.
• The spherical surface encloses a space
where there is a 90% probability that the
electron may be found.
The p Orbital
• A p orbital is “tear drop”shaped.
• Each p orbital has two lobes.
The p Orbital
• The three p orbitals share a pz
common center.
• The three p orbitals point in
different directions.

The d Orbital
• The five d orbitals all point in different directions.

The Magnetic Quantum
Number (ml)
• Describes the orientation of the orbital in space
• Within a subshell, the value of ml depends on the value of l

The Electron Spin Quantum
Number (ms)
• Lines in the emission spectra could be split by
the application of an external magnetic field.
The only way physicists could explain these
results was to assume that electrons act like
tiny magnets.
• According to electromagnetic theory, a
spinning charge generates a magnetic field.
• It is necessary to introduce a fourth quantum
number, called the electron spin quantum
number (ms), which has a value of +1/2 or
-1/2.
Electron Spin
• An electron can spin in one of two possible directions
represented by ↑ or ↓.
• The two electrons that occupy an atomic orbital must have
opposite spins.
• This is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principal.
Wolfgang Pauli
• Austrian-born physicist who discovered in 1925 the Pauli exclusion
principle, which states that in an atom no two electrons can occupy
the same quantum state simultaneously.
To determine the electronic structures of
atoms the following guidelines are used.
• No more than two electrons can occupy one orbital
To determine the electronic structures of
atoms the following guidelines are used.
• Electrons occupy the lowest energy orbitals available. They enter a
higher energy orbital only after the lower orbitals are filled, also called
“Aufbau principle”
• For the atoms beyond hydrogen, orbital energies vary as s<p<d<f for
a given value of n.

To determine the electronic structures of
atoms the following guidelines are used.
• Each orbital on a sublevel is occupied by a single
electron before a second electron enters (also
called Hund’s rule). For example, all three p
orbitals must contain one electron before a
second electron enters a p orbital.
