The Puzzle of the AtomThe Puzzle of the Atom Protons and electrons are attracted to each other because of opposite charges
Electrically charged particles moving in a curved path give off energy
Despite these facts, atoms don’t collapse

The electron propagates through space as an energy
wave. To understand the atom, one must
understand the behavior of
electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic radiation Electromagnetic radiation propagates through space as a wave propagates through space as a wave moving at the speed of light.moving at the speed of light.
Types of electromagnetic radiation:Types of electromagnetic radiation:
E = hEE = Energy, in units of Joules (kg·m= Energy, in units of Joules (kg·m22/s/s22))

Quantum NumbersQuantum Numbers
Each electron in an atom has a unique set of 4 quantum numbers which describe it.
Principal quantum number Angular momentum quantum number Magnetic quantum number Spin quantum number
Pauli Exclusion PrinciplePauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in an atom can have the same four quantum numbers.
Wolfgang Pauli
Principal Quantum NumberPrincipal Quantum NumberGenerally symbolized by n, it denotes the shell (energy level) in which the electron is located.
Number of electrons that can fit in a shell:
2n2
Angular Momentum Quantum Angular Momentum Quantum NumberNumber
The angular momentum quantum number, generally symbolized by l, denotes the orbital (subshell) in which the electron is located.
Magnetic Quantum NumberMagnetic Quantum NumberThe magnetic quantum number, generally symbolized by m, denotes the orientation of the electron’s orbital with respect to the three axes in space.
Assigning the NumbersAssigning the Numbers The three quantum numbers (n, l, and m) are integers. The principal quantum number (n) cannot be zero. n must be 1, 2, 3, etc. The angular momentum quantum number (l ) can be any integer between 0 and n - 1. For n = 3, l can be either 0, 1, or 2. The magnetic quantum number (ml) can be any integer between -l and +l. For l = 2, m can be either -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
