New cards
JJ Thomson
Used a cathode ray to discover the electron, plum pudding model,
2
New cards
Rutherford
Gold foil experiment, discovered nucleus. Believed that an atom's volume was mostly empty space and the nucleus contributed to virually all of the mass but none of the volume
3
New cards
What led Thomson to propose the negative particle was smaller than atoms
the charge to mass ratio for ht electron was 2000 greater than a positie hydrogen ion. which was the smallest known particle known at the time
4
New cards
charge to mass ratio
Thomson measured this ratio for cathode rays and in doing so discovered the electron
5
New cards
Greater mass in the charge to mass ratio
deflected the least
6
New cards
Less mass inthe charge to mass ratio
deflected the most
7
New cards
Cathod Ray Experiment
showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Atoms bent towards the positive plate
8
New cards
atomic number
Number of protons and electrons in the atom
9
New cards
mass number
the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Also the weighted average of naturally occurring isotopes.
10
New cards
neutron number
mass number - atomic number
11
New cards
anion
A negatively charged ion
12
New cards
Cation
A positively charged ion
13
New cards
mass spectrometry
Charged particles movingthrouhg a magnetic field are deflected form their orginal path based on their charge-to-mass ratio. Isotopes seperates, a detector records separations, percent abundanc and mass of each isotope.
14
New cards
Problem with Rutherford's model
An electron orbiting is an accelerting charge, and accelerating charges radiates energy. If it looses energy, electrons collapse into the nucleus and matter wouldn't exist.
15
New cards
Max Planck
Proposed that energy could be shown to behave like partickles in energy packets called quanta. energy could onlu be absorbed or emititted in who numbers of quanta
16
New cards
Plank's Quantum Theory
Energy is quantized and can be emitted or absorbed only in whole number of discreet packets.
17
New cards
Bright line spectrum
colors produced when electrons fall to a lower energy level and release energy in the form of light.
18
New cards
Bohr's Postulates
1. Electrons in an atom exist in stationary states, each state was given an interger number called a quantum number
19
New cards
2. As long as an electron moved in an allowed orbit, the electron (therefore the atom) did not radiote or absorb energy

20
New cards
3. The electron could only mve from one allowed orbit to another if it absorbed or emmited an amount of energy exactly equal to the energy diffference between the two orbits.

21
New cards
ground state
the lowest energy state of an atom(n\=1)
22
New cards
excited state
A state in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state(n\=2,3...)
23
New cards
Why is the bright line spectrum not continuous
Becaue the amount of energy associated with each eletron orbit is fixed, the difference in energy between those orbits are already fixed. An electron cannot orbit between two energy levels
24
New cards
How did Bohrs Theory save Rutherford nuclea atomic Model
As long as an electron orbits the nucleus in an allowed orbit or stationary state, no energy is lost but that electron does not collapse.
25
New cards
How does the work of Planck and Einstein contribute to Bohr;s theory about electron behaviour
if energy was quantized and could thus exist in only certain amounts and not others, perhaps orbiting electrons in atoms could only possess certain amounts of energy and not others corresponding to orbits of only certain sizes.
26
New cards
Einstein
Used quantum theory to explain photoelectric effect
27
New cards
De Broglie
Scientist who suggested that all moving particles had a wave motion associated with them. Wave particle duality
28
New cards
De broglie's hypothesis
The only allowed orbits for electrons are those whose size and therefore energy allows for a standing electron wave to be maintained
29
New cards
Planck's constant
Damn Tiny
30
New cards
De Broglie's equation
Wavelength of a particle. As wavelength increase, mass decreases. As mass increases, wavelength decreases. Inversely proportional
31
New cards
Why did Bohr's atomic model need to be replaced?
Worked for hydrogen but it was unable to predict the line spectra emitted by multi electron atoms
32
New cards
What concept about the atomic structure was Bohr's theory responsible for
Energies of electrons are quantized and explained eemmission line spectra were produced
33
New cards
Why can wave nature be ignored when looking at macroscopic particles
Wave nature can be ignored when looking at macroscopic particles because the value of Planck's constant is so incredibly tiny, virtually any particle big enough for us to see has a wavelength so incredibly small that it can't even be measured, making it irrelevant.
34
New cards
Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle, it is impossible to know exactly both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time. The more certain of one measure, the less certain you are of the other (the more certain of position, the less certain of where it is travelling)
35
New cards
Why is it imposible to find and predict electron behaviour.
In order to see an electrion we need a form of illumination radition to bounce off of the electron. One photo strikign the electron is enough to blow it away which is why it is impossible
36
New cards
Schrodinger
Equation gives the porbablit of find those electrons within a region of space around the nucleus
37
New cards
Atomic Orbitals
regions in 3D space around a nucleus where electrons of particular energy are most likely to be found
38
New cards
First part of Quantum Theory
1.The energies of electron in atoms are quantized because of their wave nature. This related to the idea that only certain allowed energy states associated with standing electron waves can exist (Bohr, De Broglie)
39
New cards
Second Part of Quantum Theory
2.The Heisenerg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously both where an electron is and where it's going
40
New cards
Third Part of Quantum Theory
3.Atomic orbitals are those regions in 3D space around a nucleus where electrons with a particular energy ar emost likely to be found
41
New cards
Contrast Bohr's electron orbit with the quantum mechanical electron orbital
Boh's orbit was a definate path followed by an electron particle as it circled the nucleus. An orbital is a region around the nucleus where an electron with a particular amound of energy is most likely to be found.
42
New cards
How ca de Broglie's theory be seen as the opposite of Planck's quantum theory
Planck insisted that energy, previously considered to be only a wave phenomenon, was quantized and thus
43
New cards
possessed particle properties. De Broglie suggested that electrons, previously considered as being only particles,

44
New cards
possessed wave properties.

45
New cards
Contribution by Bohr
Niels Bohr was the first to establish the quantized energy states associated with electrons in atoms by
46
New cards
applying Planck's quantum theory to atomic structure.

47
New cards
Contribution by De Broglie
Louis de Broglie was the first to suggest that particles could possess a wave nature which supplied a reason for the allowed energy states of electrons in the Bohr model of the atom
48
New cards
Contribution by Schrodinger
Was the first to mathematically treat the eectron as a wave as his wave equation supplied a region of 3D space around an atom's nucleus where electrons of particular energies were most likely to be located.
49
New cards
Contribution by Heisenberg
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle forces us to accept that there is a limit to what can know for sure about
50
New cards
matter at its most basic level, and forces us to accept probablity when describing electron behaviour

51
New cards

52
New cards

A point of zero amplitude on a standing wave
57
New cards

It tells us the two possible elctron spins +1/2 or -1/2
58
New cards
Pauli Exclusion Principle
no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers
59
New cards
The maximum number of electrons that can exist in any energy level n is given by 2n^2
S
60
New cards
Aufbau Principle
When filling orbitals, the lowest energy orbitals availbe are always filled first
61
New cards
Hund's Rule
When orbitals of equal energy are being filled, the most stable configuration is the one iwth the maximum number of unpaire electrons with the same spin
62
New cards
Isoelectronic
two species have the same number and configuration of electrons
63
New cards
If hydrogen electron exists in a spherial orbital, why doesn't this mea the electron move around hte nucleus in a circle
The 1s orbital represents in 3D spcae where it is most likely related
