Quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle- Niels Bohr suggested that electrons exists in orbitals.- Quantum mechanics treats electrons differently. Quantum mechanics says that an electron has both particle like and wave like properties - The Heisenberg uncertainty principle say it is impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle simultaneously - Thus we cannot assign fixed paths for electrons, and the most we can hope to know is the probability of finding an electron in a given region of space.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Since an electron has wave like properties, quantum mechanics is also called wave mechanics. - Quantum mechanics is a mathematical description of an electron- Schrodinger’s equation: Hψ=Eψ where H is Hamiltonian operator, ψ is wave function, and E is energy- The physical meaning of ψ is probability density- the probability of finding an electron in a given volume in space2.

Electron configuration A. Rules for determining the ground state electron configuration- Aufbau procedure: start with lowest energy orbital and fill up from there- Pauli Exclusion Principle: no two electrons in an atom can have the same 4 quantum numbers. You can have a maximum of 2 electrons per orbital as long as they have opposite spins- Hund’s rule: when filling degenerate orbital (orbitals that are equal in energy)electrons always occupy singly with parallel spin before paired. (remember: parallel before paired)B. Terms to know- ground state: lowest energy state of an electron or molecule- excited state: any state that is not the ground state- degenerate: equal in energy- node: region of space with zero probability of finding an electron- shell: n= 1 shell n =2 shell- subshell: nlC. Using periodic table- Remember the s block starts with 1s and the p block starts with 2p. The d block starts 3d and the f block starts with 4f.- There is a special stability associated with filled outer most shell. This explains stability of the noble gases- There is a special stability associated with half hilled subshells. - When determining the electron configuration of cation, the first electrons removed are from the outer most shell. This is not always the outer most subshell. - Isoelectronic: having the same electron configuration- Paramagnetic: attracted to magnetic field (has an unpaired electron)- Diamagnetic: slightly repelled by magnetic field (all electrons paired)- Valence electrons: outer shell electrons- Core electrons: all other electrons, called inner core, inner electrons4. Periodic trendsA. Terms to know- Shielding: describes decrease in attraction of the nucleus for outer shell electrons due to inner core- Effective nuclear charge: nuclear change that an electron feelsB. To predict periodic trends, consider two things:- electron configuration- nuclear charge5. Atomic and ionic radii- Atomic size decreases going from left to right across the periodic table because we are increasing the nuclear charge.- Atomic size increase going down the periodic table because outer most electronsare in a higher shell which is farther from the nucleus- Ionic size: cations are always smaller than parent ion. Anions are always bigger than parent ion. In an isoelectronic series, ionic size decreases with increasing nuclear charge. 6. Ionization energy- Ionization energy: energy required to remove an electron from gaseous atom- 1E1 is the first ionization energy- 1E2 is 2nd electron removal- 1E3 is 3rdelectron removal- Notice the huge jump from 1E1 to 1E2. This is because it is harder to remove inner core electrons.7. Electron affinity: the energy that occurs when electrons are added to gaseous atoms- Some electrons are positive and some are negative. If the affinity is negative thenthe atoms wants an electron. When the affinity increases that means the electron affinity is increasingly negative- Group 2 and 18 have positive or near positive electron affinities. The halogens have the most exothermic or negative electron affinities. - You can make individual predictions based on electron configuration and nuclear
