2. Sec. 1 - Properties of Light
Electromagnetic Radiation – a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
Together, all the forms of electromagnetic radiation form the electromagnetic spectrum.

3. Wavelength () is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves.
Frequency (v) is defined as the number of waves that pass a given point in a specific time, usually one second.
Waves

4. Higher Frequency = smaller wavelengths = higher energy
Waves Relationship

5. Light
The photoelectric effect refers to the emission of electrons from a metal when light shines on the metal.

6. Atomic Energy The lowest energy state of an atom is its ground state.
A state in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state is an excited state.

8. Bohr Model
According to the model, the electron can circle the nucleus only in allowed paths, or orbits.
The energy of the electron is higher when the electron is in orbitals that are successively farther from the nucleus.

9. When an electron falls to a lower energy level, a photon is emitted
Energy must be added to an atom in order to move an electron from a lower energy level to a higher energy level.

12. Sec. 2 – Electrons as Waves
Electrons, like light waves, can be bent, or diffracted.
Diffraction refers to the bending of a wave as it passes by the edge of an object or through a small opening.
Electron beams, like waves, can interfere with each other.
Interference occurs when waves overlap.

13. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle.

14. The Schrödinger Wave Equation
Electrons do not travel around the nucleus in neat orbits, as Bohr had postulated.
Instead, they exist in regions called orbitals.
An orbital is a three-dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron.
The principal quantum number, symbolized by n, indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron.

15. Atomic Orbitals

16. Energy Levels

17. Energy Levels cont.

18. Sec. 3 – Electron Configurations
The arrangement of electrons in an atom is known as the atom’s electron configuration.
The lowest-energy arrangement of the electrons for each element is called the element’s ground-state electron configuration.

20. Orbital Rules
According to the Aufbau principle, an electron occupies the lowest-energy orbital that can receive it.
According to Hund’s rule, orbitals of equal energy are each occupied by one electron before any orbital is occupied by a second electron

21. Orbital Notation
An unoccupied orbital is represented by a line, with the orbital’s name written underneath the line.
An orbital containing one electron is represented as:
An orbital containing two electrons is represented as:

23. The lines are labeled with the principal quantum number and sublevel letter. For example, the orbital notation for helium is written as follows: 1s He

24. The electron configuration of boron is 1s22s22p1
The electron configuration of boron is 1s22s22p1. How many electrons are present in an atom of boron? What is the atomic number for boron? Write the orbital notation for boron.

27. Orbitals and the Periodic Table

28. Noble-Gas Notation
The Group 18 elements (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon) are called the noble gases.
A noble-gas configuration refers to an outer main energy level occupied, in most cases, by eight electrons.

31. a. Write both the complete electron-configuration notation and the noble-gas notation for iron, Fe.
b. How many electron-containing orbitals are in an atom of iron? How many of these orbitals are completely filled? How many unpaired electrons are there in an atom of iron? In which sublevel are the unpaired electrons located?
