Light and Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Several types of electromagnetic radiation make up the electromagnetic spectrum
3
Light and Electromagnetic Spectrum
Frequency, : The number of wave peaks that pass a given point per unit time (1/s)
Wavelength, : The distance from one wave peak to the next (nm or m)
Amplitude: Height of wave
Wavelength x Frequency = Speed
(m) x (s-1) = c (m/s)

The Planck Equation
E = h E = hc / h = Planck’s constant, 6.626 x 10-34 J s
1 J = 1 kg m2/s2
6
Example1: Light and Electromagnetic Spectrum
• The red light in a laser pointer comes from a diode laser that has a wavelength of about 630 nm. What is the frequency of the light? c = 3 x 108 m/s
7
Atomic Spectra
• Atomic spectra: Result from excited atoms
emitting light.
• Line spectra: Result from electron transitions
between specific energy levels.
• Blackbody radiation is the visible glow that
solid objects emit when heated.
8
Atomic Spectra
• Max Planck (1858–1947): proposed the energy is
only emitted in discrete packets called quanta.
The amount of energy depends on the frequency:
E = energy = frequency
= wavelength c = speed of light
h = planck’s constant
E h
hc h 6.626 10 34J s

Atomic Spectra
Albert Einstein (1879–1955):
Used the idea of quanta to explain the photoelectric effect.
• He proposed that light behaves as a stream of particles called photons
• A photon’s energy must exceed a minimum threshold for electrons to be ejected.
• Energy of a photon depends only on the frequency.
E = h

Example 2: Atomic Spectra
• For red light with a wavelength of about 630 nm, what is the energy of a single photon and one mole of photons?
12
Wave–Particle Duality
• Louis de Broglie (1892–1987): Suggested
waves can behave as particles and particles
can behave as waves. This is called wave–
particle duality.
m = mass in kg p = momentum (mc) or (mv)
For Light : h

For a Particle : h

Example 3: Wave–Particle Duality
• How fast must an electron be moving if it has a de Broglie wavelength of 550 nm?
me = 9.109 x 10–31 kg
14
Quantum Mechanics
• Niels Bohr (1885–1962): Described atom as
electrons circling around a nucleus and
concluded that electrons have specific energy
levels.
• Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961): Proposed
quantum mechanical model of atom, which
focuses on wavelike properties of electrons.
15
Quantum Mechanics
• Werner Heisenberg (1901–1976): Showed
that it is impossible to know (or measure)
precisely both the position and velocity (or the
momentum) at the same time.
• The simple act of “seeing” an electron would
change its energy and therefore its position.
16
Quantum Mechanics
• Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961): Developed
a compromise which calculates both the
energy of an electron and the probability of
finding an electron at any point in the
molecule.
• This is accomplished by solving the
Schrödinger equation, resulting in the wave
function
17
Quantum Numbers
• Wave functions describe the behavior of electrons.
• Each wave function contains four variables called
quantum numbers:
• Principal Quantum Number (n)
• Angular-Momentum Quantum Number (l)
• Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)
• Spin Quantum Number (ms)
18
Quantum Numbers
• Principal Quantum Number (n): Defines the
size and energy level of the orbital. n = 1, 2, 3,
– As n increases, the electrons get farther from
the nucleus.
– As n increases, the electrons’ energy
increases.
– Each value of n is generally called a shell.
19
Quantum Numbers
• Angular-Momentum Quantum Number (l): Defines the three-dimensional shape of the orbital.
• For an orbital of principal quantum number n, the value of l can have an integer value from
0 to n – 1.
• This gives the subshell notation:
l = 0 = s orbital l = 3 = f orbital
l = 1 = p orbital l = 4 = g orbital
l = 2 = d orbital
20
Quantum Numbers
• Magnetic Quantum Number (ml): Defines the spatial orientation of the orbital.
• For orbital of angular-momentum quantum number, l, the value of ml has integer values from –l to +l.
• This gives a spatial orientation of:
l = 0 giving ml = 0
l = 1 giving ml = –1, 0, +1
l = 2 giving ml = –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, and so on…...
21
Quantum Numbers
• Magnetic Quantum Number (ml): –l to +l
S orbital 0
P orbital -1 0 1
D orbital -2 -1 0 1 2
F orbital -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
22
Quantum Numbers
• Spin Quantum
Number: ms
• The Pauli Exclusion
Principle states that no
two electrons can have
the same four quantum
numbers.

Example 4: Quantum Numbers
• Why can’t an electron have the following quantum numbers?
(a) n = 2, l = 2, ml = 1
(b) n = 3, l = 0, ml = 3
(c) n = 5, l = –2, ml = 1
25
Example 5: Quantum Numbers
• Give orbital notations for electrons with the following quantum numbers:
(a)n = 2, l = 1
(b) n = 4, l = 3
(c) n = 3, l = 2
26
Electron Radial Distribution
• s Orbital Shapes: Holds 2 electrons
27
Electron Radial Distribution
• p Orbital Shapes: Holds 6 electrons, degenerate
28
Electron Radial Distribution
• d and f Orbital Shapes: d holds 10 electrons and f holds 14 electrons, degenerate
29
Effective Nuclear Charge
• Electron shielding leads to energy differences among orbitals within a shell.
• Net nuclear charge felt by an electron is called the effective nuclear charge (Zeff).
• Zeff is lower than actual nuclear charge.
• Zeff increases toward nucleus
ns > np > nd > nf
