Electromagnetic Radiation Mutually propagating electric and magnetic fields, at right
angles to each other, traveling at the speed of light c
Speed of light (c) in vacuum = 2.998 x 108 m/s
a) Electric b) Magnetic
Properties of Waves - in the examples below,
both waves are traveling at the same velocity
Long wavelength = low frequency
Short wavelength = high frequency

Units: wavelength = meters (m)
frequency = cycles per second or Hertz (s-1)
wavelength (m) x frequency (s-1) = velocity (m/s)
· u = wavelength, = frequency, u = velocity

Blackbody Radiation
Photoelectric Effect • phenomenon of light striking a metal surface and
producing an electric current (flow of electrons).
• If radiation below threshold energy, no electrons released.

Explained by a new theory: Quantum Theory
Blackbody Radiation and the Photoelectric Effect
• Radiant energy is “quantized” – Having values restricted to whole-number
multiples of a specific base value.
• Quantum = smallest discrete quantity of energy.
• Photon = a quantum of electromagnetic radiation
Quantized States
Quantized states: discrete energy levels.
Continuum states: smooth transition between levels.

The energy of the photon is given by Planck’s Equation.
E = h h = 6.626 × 10−34 J∙s
(Planck’s constant)
Sample Exercise 7.2 What is the energy of a photon of red light
that has a wavelength of 656 nm? The value of Planck’s constant (h) is 6.626 × 10-34 J . s, and the speed of light is 3.00 × 108 m/s.

Electronic States
• Energy Level:
• An allowed state that an electron can occupy in an atom.
• Ground State:
• Lowest energy level available to an electron in an atom.
• Excited State:
• Any energy state above the ground state.
“Solar system” model of the atom where each “orbit”
has a fixed, QUANTIZED energy given by -
where n = “principle quantum number” = 1, 2, 3….
This energy is exothermic because it is potential
energy lost by an unbound electron as it is attracted
towards the positive charge of the nucleus.

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Bohr Model
• Strengths: • Accurately predicts energy needed to remove an
electron from an atom (ionization).
• Allowed scientists to begin using quantum theory to explain matter at atomic level.
• Limitations: • Applies only to one-electron atoms/ions; does not
account for spectra of multielectron atoms.
• Movement of electrons in atoms is less clearly defined than Bohr allowed.

Light behaves both as a wave and a particle -
Classical physics - light as a wave:
c = = 2.998 x 108 m/s
Quantum Physics -
Planck and Einstein:
photons (particles) of light, E = h
Several blind men were asked to describe an elephant. Each tried to determine
what the elephant was like by touching it. The first blind man said the elephant
was like a tree trunk; he had felt the elephant's massive leg. The second blind
man disagreed, saying that the elephant was like a rope, having grasped the
elephant's tail. The third blind man had felt the elephant's ear, and likened the
elephant to a palm leaf, while the fourth, holding the beast's trunk, contended
that the elephant was more like a snake. Of course each blind man was giving a
good description of that one aspect of the elephant that he was observing, but
none was entirely correct. In much the same way, we use the wave and particle
analogies to describe different manifestations of the phenomenon that we call
radiant energy, because as yet we have no single qualitative analogy that will
explain all of our observations.

mathematical treatment results in a “wave function”,

Each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons
The probability of finding the electron = 2
Probabilities are required because of “Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle”
The electron as a Standing Wave
E. Schrödinger (1927)
We can never SIMULTANEOUSLY know with absolute
precision both the exact position (x), and momentum
(p = mass·velocity or mv), of the electron.
Dx·D(mv) h/4 Uncertainty in
momentum
Uncertainty in
position
If one uncertainty gets very small, then the other becomes
corresponding larger. If we try to pinpoint the electron momentum,
it's position becomes "fuzzy". So we assign a probability to where the
electron is found = atomic orbital.

• Core electrons are those in the filled, inner shells in an atom and are not involved in chemical reactions.
