The Wave Nature of Light
• Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation– Form of energy that exhibits wavelike
behavior as it travels through space
![Page 4: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Characteristics of waves– Wavelength (λ): Shortest distance between
equivalent points on a wave
– Amplitude: - waves height from origin to crest or origin to trough

• Frequency (ν): number of waves that pass a given point per second– SI unit = hertz (Hz)
![Page 6: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• All electromagnetic waves, including light travel at 3.00 x 108 m/s (c)
• c = λν

• Electromagnetic spectrum– Visible light is only a very small part of the
electromagnetic spectrum– EM spectrum includes all forms of
electromagnetic radiation– Differences between types of radiation =
frequency & wavelength

The Particle Nature of Light
• Wave model of light cannot explain all the ways light interacts with matter – Metal glows when heated– Iron = grey at room temp, then glows red,
then orange, the blue
![Page 11: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• The quantum concept– Matter can gain or lose energy only in small,
specific amounts called quanta• Stairs
– Quantum = minimum amount of energy that can be gained or lost by an atom
![Page 12: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• The photoelectric effect – Electrons are emitted from a metal’s surface
when light at or above a certain frequency shines on the surface
![Page 14: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Einstein proposed the dual nature of light (wave-like & particle- like) to explain the photoelectric effect
• Light = beam of bundles of energy (photons)– Photons = massless particles that carry a
quantum of energy
![Page 15: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• The blue color in fireworks has a wavelength of 4.5 x 10-10 m. How much energy does one photon of this light carry?
![Page 17: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Atomic Emission Spectra
• Set of frequencies of the electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of the element
• Found by putting gas into tube and charging it.
• Light viewed through prism & colors separate– Each line of color = photon with specific
energy

![Page 20: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
5.2 Quantum Theory and the Atom
• Electrons behave much like a person climbing a ladder
![Page 21: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Bohr’s Model of the Atom
• Proposed atoms only have certain allowable energy states
• Ground state – lowest allowable energy state for an atom
• Excited state – an atom that has gained energy
![Page 22: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Electrons move around nucleus in circular orbits (energy levels)
• Orbits closest to nucleus have lowest energy
![Page 23: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Bohr assigned a number, n, to each orbit (quantum number)
• Orbit closest to nucleus = energy level 1 & n = 1
![Page 24: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Quantum theory & emission spectra
• When electrons are excited the move to higher energy levels
• Electron drops from higher to lower energy level and emits a photon corresponding to the energy difference between the two levels– Photon = color of light shown
![Page 26: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Limits of Bohr Model– Only explains Hydrogen’s emission spectrum– Does not account for chemical behavior of
atoms– Electrons do NOT move around nucleus in
circular orbits
![Page 27: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Quantum Mechanical Model
• Louis de Broglie – proposed electrons can have wave characteristics
• Werner Heisenberg – it is impossible to know the exact position of an electron at any time (Heisenberg uncertainty principle)
![Page 28: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• The act of seeing an electron changes its path!

• The only thing that can be known about an electron is the probability for it to occupy a certain region around the nucleus
• Schrodinger – treated electrons like waves & developed the quantum mechanical model of the atom
![Page 30: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Atomic orbital – 3D region around the nucleus which describes an electrons probable location– More dense areas = more likely to find
electron
![Page 31: Chapter 5 Electrons in Atoms. 5.1 Light and Quantized Energy Light, a form of electromagnetic radiation has characteristics of both waves and particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfdd1a28abf838cb1b1e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

How to draw a dot structure
1. Figure out how many valence electrons element has
2. Write the element symbol
3. Add dots to top, right, bottom, and left of symbol one at a time until all valence electrons are used
4. Remember: each orbital can only hold 2 dots
