Reminders • An Atom is the smallest unit of an element that still can be identified as that element. • Scientists worked over centuries gathering indirect evidence and used it to infer things about the atom. • Experiments suggest that a single atom is made up of even smaller pieces, or subatomic particles. • A proton is a subatomic particle that has a positive electric charge. The nucleus, or center, of every atom contains at least one proton. • A neutron is a subatomic particle that has about the same mass as a proton but no electric charge. In most atoms, the nucleus contains one or more neutrons. • An electron is a subatomic particle that has a negative charge. It's much smaller and has much less mass than a proton or a neutron. Electrons aren't found in the nucleus, they orbit the nucleus at great speeds. • Because an atom has equal numbers of protons and electrons, it has no overall charge. • If all atoms contain the same subatomic particles , what makes elements different from one another?

QUANTUM MECHANICS

ENERGY LEVELS • Electrons move around the nucleus (negative charge around positive charge). • Even though it looks as if this movement is disorganized, in fact there is a strict organization of the electrons. • Electrons move around the nucleus packed in Energy Levels. • Energy levels are the "layers" around the nucleus where electrons are found in motion. • These energy levels are called Electron shells.

How many electrons are there in the graphic? What is the atomic number of the atom in the graphic? What element is represented in the graphic? 10
Rules to fill up the Electron Shells 1. The first electron shell, the closest to the nucleus can hold up to 2 electrons. 2. The other electron shells can hold many more electrons. 3. The last electron shell can only hold up to 8 electrons, this is called the Octet Rule.

QUANTUM MECHANICS UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE ‐ Werner Heisenberg It is not possible to simultaneously determine the speed and position of the electron accurately.
ATOMIC ORBITAL: region in space where it is more probable to find the electron.
14
QUANTUM NUMBERS: are mathematical expressions used to describe the energies of atoms, angular moment, electron spin, etc. It is used to determine the distribution of atoms in the atomic orbitals. Quantum Number
Function
n principal quantum number Energy Level Determines the energy level where the e‐ is located. The higher n value, the farthest the e‐ from the nucleus.

Shapes of Atomic Orbitals l secondary quantum number (azimuthal or orbital)
Orbital s: Sphere symmetry. The size of orbital "s" increases when the principal quantic number increases too.
Orbital p: lobe‐shaped orbitals. There are 3 types of "p" orbitals, differing by their orientation.
17
Orbital d: third sublevel of energy. There are 5 types of "d" orbitals, with different space orientations.
18
Orbital f: complex orientations. There are 7 types of "f" orbitals, with different space orientations.

ATOMIC PROPERTIES
22
ATOMIC NUMBER • Each element has an Atomic Number, and is determined by the number of protons. • All the atoms of a particular element have the same number of protons.
Atomic Number = Number of Protons
MASS NUMBER • The mass of each element is determined by the number of protons and neutrons. • The mass of electrons is so minute that it is not considered in the calculations of the atomic mass.
Atomic Mass = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons 23
ISOTOPES • Some elements are made up of atoms with different masses. • For atomic masses, the number of protons always remains the same. • Isotopes are elements with a different number of neutrons. e‐
