The nuclei of atoms (protons and neutrons) are NOT involved in chemical reactions, BUT ELECTRONS ARE! The first clue that early scientists had to the existence of electrons was ATOMIC SPECTRA.

ATOMIC SPECTRA Continuous Spectrum – If white light is passed through a prism, a continuous spectrum (rainbow) can be observed. The order of the colors is ROY G BIV red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet Red has the longest wavelength and the lowest energy. Violet has the shortest wavelength and the highest energy.

Electrons can act like waves and particles (DeBroglie, 1924.) He based this on the Bohr’s original model and used it to explain why electrons don’t fall into the nucleus. There are areas of an electron cloud where the electrons are most dense, and therefore, you would be most likely to find an electron.

DeBroglie’s Theory He suggested that as the e- moves around the nucleus it is associated with a particular wavelength, and that this wavelength depends on its mass (m) and on its velocity (v) (where h = Planck’s constant.)
