Quantum Mechanical ModelQuantum Mechanical Model
Recap of Bohr ModelRecap of Bohr Model• Electrons are particles moving in circular orbitsElectrons are particles moving in circular orbits
– Specific speed, position, energySpecific speed, position, energy
• Quantization of energy levels is imposedQuantization of energy levels is imposed
• Ground state: electrons closest to nucleusGround state: electrons closest to nucleus
• Electrons can move between energy levels Electrons can move between energy levels
– higher energy levels farther from nucleushigher energy levels farther from nucleus– moving up to higher E level: electron moving up to higher E level: electron absorbsabsorbs energy energy– moving down to lower E level: electron moving down to lower E level: electron emits lightemits light energy energy

• Proposed:Proposed:– if light can show both particle and wave behavior, if light can show both particle and wave behavior,
maybe matter can toomaybe matter can too
2 kinds of waves2 kinds of wavesTraveling waveTraveling wave

• Travels from one Travels from one location to anotherlocation to another
• Interrupted by Interrupted by boundary or another boundary or another wavewave
Standing waveStanding wave• Confined to given space Confined to given space
(ends are pinned) (ends are pinned)
• Interference between Interference between incident & reflected incident & reflected waveswaves
• At certain frequencies:At certain frequencies:– certain points seem to be certain points seem to be
standing stillstanding still– Other points - displacement Other points - displacement

DeBroglie Electron-Wavewavelength describing wavelength describing electron depends on energy electron depends on energy of electronof electron
At certain energies, electron At certain energies, electron waves make standing waves waves make standing waves in atomin atom
wave does not represent wave does not represent electron pathelectron path

Orbital – Modern TheoryOrbital – Modern Theory
• Orbital = term used to describe region Orbital = term used to describe region where electron might be where electron might be
• Each orbital has specific energy and Each orbital has specific energy and specific shapespecific shape
• Described by 4 parameters of wave Described by 4 parameters of wave function (like an address): function (like an address): – quantum numbers = n, l, m, s quantum numbers = n, l, m, s
