1.0 ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Atomic structure deals
with structure and component of an atom. The first scientist discovered that
matter is made up of small particles called atoms. The term atom means
indivisible particles. But later, different scientists put forward atomic
models. These atomic models account for atomic structure. There are several
atomic models which include the following:-
• Dalton’s atomic theory.
• Thompson’s atomic theory.
• Bohr’s atomic model.
• Rutherford atomic model.
• Wave particles duality nature of matter.
• Heisenberg uncertainity principle.
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
Dalton’s atomic theory includes the following main points:-
i. Matter is made up of small indivisible
particles called atoms.
ii. Atom is neither created nor destroyed.
iii. Atoms of the same elements are similar especially in
mass.
iv. Atoms of different elements are different especially in
mass.
v. Atoms of different elements when combine they do so
in small ratio whole numbers.
RECENT MODIFICATION OF
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
Dalton’s atomic theory
was modified because all points were not valid. This resulted into discover of
modern atomic theory. The following include point of modern atomic theory:-
i. Matter is made
up of small indivisible particles called atoms was not valid due to the
existence of three particles in atom. Matter is made up of a small divisible
particle called atoms.

fission or fusion.
iii. Atoms of the
same elements are similar especially in mass was not valid due to the existence
of isotopes. Atoms of the same elements have either same or different mass.
iv. Atoms of
elements are different especially in mass was not valid. Atoms of different
elements have either same or different mass.
v. Atoms of different elements when
combine they do so in small ratio of whole number was not valid because
different elements combine by using variable ratio of whole number.
THOMPSON's EXPERIMENT
(DISCOVERY OF ELECTRONS)
Thompson’s
conducted an experiment to investigate if air conducts electricity. The following
circuit was used during the experiment.
• The emission tube have electrode at each end which is connected to the external circuit. The emission tube is connected to the vacuum pump in order to maintain the low pressure in the emission tube.
The circuit is switched on which results into the following observation:-
• The bulb emitted light which indicate that the gas conduct electricity.
• There is glowing of emission tube or emission of light.
• There is fluorescence of emission tube.
• The stream of rays running from cathode to the anode. Through investigation of properties of cathode rays by using magnetic field, electric field and gold electroscope results into
discover of electron. The cathode rays were the electrons.
• The emission tube have electrode at each end which is connected to the external circuit. The emission tube is connected to the vacuum pump in order to maintain the low pressure in the emission tube.

EXPLANATION OF THOMPSON’S EXPERIMENT IN TERMS OF
ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Ground state: Is lowest energetic state of an atom. Is a
state when an electron filled in the lowest energy level before filling the
highest energy level available. The electron filled in atom in order of
increasing energy level. This state make atom to be stable.
Excited state: Is a state of an atom when electron filled in
the highest energy level before filling lowest energy level available. If the
electron excited jumps to the extent that the nuclear attractive force act upon
it result pulling back of electrons. When return back to the ground state
release all amount of energy which was absorbed inform of radiation.
RADIATION: This energy causes glowing of emission tube.
When the radiation strikes the emission tube causes florescence of emission
tube.
Convergent limit: Is a state of atom when an electron is removed
completely from ground state to the infinite. The convergent limit occurs if atom
gain high energy which result electrons to jump to the highest energy level
where the nuclear attractive force cannot act up on it. This electron cannot
return back to the ground state it result the atom left to positively charged.
The convergent limit is a factor which causes some electrons to move from
cathode to anode. These were stream of rays called cathode rays which later was
electrons.
SIGNIFICANCE OF
CONVERGENT LIMIT
These include the
following:-
• It resulted into discover of the ionization energy. This
ionization energy used in the inorganic section.
• It resulted into formation of ion particles. The ionic particle is more reactive when take part during chemical reaction.
• It resulted into production of rays. These rays are known as atomic spectrum.
• It resulted into formation of ion particles. The ionic particle is more reactive when take part during chemical reaction.
• It resulted into production of rays. These rays are known as atomic spectrum.
THOMSON MODEL OF THE ATOM
After the discovery of electrons and
protons, the next question was to know how these particles are arranged in an
atom. The first simple model of the atom was proposed by J.J.Thomson in
1898.The Thomson atomic model is popularly known as the Thomson's
"plum-pudding" model of the atom.
Thomson considered an atom to be a
sphere (radius = 10-10 m or 10-8 cm) of uniform positive
charge into which the negatively charged electrons were embedded. This model
is like plum-pudding dotted with raisins
This model of an atom could not explain many experimental facts. So, it was
abandoned.
RUTHERFORD'S SCATTERING EXPERIMENT
In 1911 Rutherford performed an
experiment which is now known as Rutherford's scattering experiment. In this
experiment, he bombarded a thin sheet (0.00006 cm thickness) of gold with alpha
α particles. The α-particles were obtained from a radioactive
substance. The -particles are doubly ionized helium atoms (He2*).
The scattered α -particles produced tiny flashes on striking with the zinc sulphide screen. These tiny flashes were observed with a movable microscope. The experimental set up used in the famous α-scattering experiment is shown in figure below. The following observations were made from the scattering experiment.
Structure of atom
The scattered α -particles produced tiny flashes on striking with the zinc sulphide screen. These tiny flashes were observed with a movable microscope. The experimental set up used in the famous α-scattering experiment is shown in figure below. The following observations were made from the scattering experiment.
Structure of atom
The α -scattering from metal
foils. The -particles are produced by a radioactive source.Since lead absorbs α
-particles a lead plate with a hole is used to obtain a beam of a particles.The
α -particles scattered from the metal foil strike the fluorescent (zinc
sulphide) screen and produce tiny flashes. A movable microscope is used to view
the flashes.
i. Most of the a-particles passed
through the metal foil without any change in their path i.e. they
remained undeflected.
ii. Some of the α
-particles deflected through small angles.
iii. Only a few of them (1 in 10,000)
were actually deflected by as much as 90°, or even larger angles. One in 20,000
particles returned back suffering a deflection of 180°.
Explanation. The results of the scattering experiment could not be
explained by the Thomson's atomic. Calculations showed that a charge spread
over a sphere of radius 10-8 cm could deflect α -particles
only through small angles. The deflections of onlyα
-particles through larger angels as observed would be possible If the positive
charge in the atom is spread over a sphere of radius of about 10-13 cm
thus, the α-particles scattering result could not be explained by
Thomson's atomic model.
RUTHERFORD'S NUCLEAR MODEL OF THE
ATOM
On the basis of α-particle
scattering experiment, Rutherford put forwarded in 1912, his nuclei model of
the atom. According to this assumptions.
i. An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus
surrounded by a system of electronics. Electrons are moving around the nucleus.
The positive charge of the nucleus is due to the
protons present in it.
protons present in it.
ii. Electrons and the nucleus are held together by coulombic force
of attraction,
iii. The effective volume of the nucleus is extremely small as compared
to the effective volume of the atom. From the experiments, it was found that,
Approximate radius of the
nucleus of an atom 10-14– 10-15 m (10-12 – 10-13 cm), Approximate radius of sphere of electrons (or the radius of an atom) 10-10 m (10-8 cm).Since, the volume varies as r3,
hence the volume occupied by the nucleus is about 1012 times the volume of the atom.
nucleus of an atom 10-14– 10-15 m (10-12 – 10-13 cm), Approximate radius of sphere of electrons (or the radius of an atom) 10-10 m (10-8 cm).Since, the volume varies as r3,
hence the volume occupied by the nucleus is about 1012 times the volume of the atom.
iv. Almost the entire mass of the atom is concentrated in the
nucleus.
v. The positive charge on the nuclei of
different elements are always integral multiples of the electron charge, but
opposite in sign. Since, each atom is electrically neutral, hence in
an atom, the number of positive charges on the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it. The Rutherford's model of an atom is shown in the figure below
an atom, the number of positive charges on the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it. The Rutherford's model of an atom is shown in the figure below
Rutherford, in 1912, put forwarded
an atomic model. According to this model an atom consists of positively charged
nucleus which is surrounded by a system of electrons. The electrons and I
nucleus are held together by electrostatic forces. Because of the electrostatic
attraction between the nucleus and the electrons, the electrons should
ultimately fall into the nucleus. But, it does not happen. In order to explain why
electrons not fall into the nucleus, Rutherford postulated that the electrons
are not stationary, but are revolving about the nucleus in orbits. But,
this explanation did not solve the problem completely. The physicists had
observed that a revolving electric charge must emit radiation and thus lose
energy. Thus, an electron revolving around a nucleus in an orbit should emit
radiation and lose energy
If so, the continuous loss of energy
should slow down electrons. As a result, the electron will not be able to stand
the attraction of the nucleus and gradually move towards the nucleus. The
electron should, therefore, follow a spiral path and ultimately fall into the
nucleus within 10-8s. The atom should thus, collapse. But, it does
not happen, as the atoms are stable. Thus, there must be something wrong in the
Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom.
RUTHERFORD ATOMIC MODEL
(i) The atom consists of extreme
denser region at center called nucleus which have positive charged particles.
(ii) The negative particles (electron(s) of atoms revolve around the nucleus in a path called orbit.
(iii) The large area of atom is empty space.
(ii) The negative particles (electron(s) of atoms revolve around the nucleus in a path called orbit.
(iii) The large area of atom is empty space.
SHORT COMING OF
RUTHERFORD ATOMIC MODEL.
Rutherford atomic model
accounted that electron revolve around the nucleus in the path called orbit.
This is an imagination because no any scientist proved occurrence but
discovered that when charged particle revolve around the opposite charge reach
a point when they collapse due to the attraction force occurs between the
nuclear and electron(s) hence electron capture. But this proved the truth of
Rutherford because no any atom discovered to collapse.
BOHR’S ATOMIC MODEL The electrons revolve around the nucleus in a path called orbits which have certain energy.
The electron when revolve in stationery state does not radiate energy.
The electrons emit or absorb energy when shift from one energy level to another.
The electronic motions are those which its angular momentum is integral multiple of where n = 1, 2, 3...

SHORT COMING
OF BOHR’S ATOMIC MODEL
Bohr’s accounted
that electrons revolve in a single plane. But discovered that movement of
electrons is not restricted in only on plane.
The Bohr’s model did not explain spectral of multi-electrons atom but accounted only spectral line of uni-electron hydrogen atom.
The Bohr’s model did not account for electrons which were found in a chemical bond.
Bohr viewed an electron as being placed at a certain distance from the nucleus. However, it was proved by Weaver Heisenberg’s Uncertainity Principle:–It is impossible at any
movement to predict the exact position and velocity of an electron in an atom.

MASS SPECTROMETER
Is an instrument which
is used to determine the relative atomic mass of an element.
Mass spectrometers have
an ability to determine the relative molecular mass of a compound and formula
of a compound. In a spectrographic plate.
Mass spectrograph is a plate of mass spectrometers which detect
and record the relative atomic mass of an element. The spectrographic plate is
a detector or recorder. The following is a diagram of mass spectrometer which
has different part.
Vaporization. The instrument is evacuated in order to prevent
the interference of air. The solid sample must be heated until it forms gaseous
atoms and vaporized before it’s introduced into the mass spectrometer.
Ionization.
The vaporized sample of element is introduced in the ionization chamber. This
region has electric filament which emits fast moving electrons. These electrons
collide with atom of an element as a result the atom split which leave only
nucleus of positive charge. The nucleus left is where mass of atom is
concentrated.
Acceleration.
The ion particles formed in the ionization chamber are accelerated by two plate
of negative charge toward the magnetic field. These two plates are connected to
negative potential which accelerate ions as a beam of light toward the magnetic
field.
Deflection.
The beam of ions deflected in the magnetic field. The extent of deflection
depends on the mass charge ratio m/e. The light particle deflected more than
the heavy particles. The deflected ions strike on the detector. The ions at the
same mass charge ratio strike on the same mass spot.
Detection.
Once the ions strike the detector in the collector that converts the intensity
of the ions into electric signals which is amplified by the amplifier into
large electric current.
Recording.
The current is used to operate a pen that moves on a paper tracing the peak of
the isotope. The ion is recorded in terms of atomic mass and relative
abundance. When they
fall on the photographic plate they produce a mass spectrum consisting of a series of line at different point. The mass of the ions detected on the photographic plate. Relative
abundance is the percentage of an isotopic atom in the element. The ions particles when strike the detector produce mass spectrum. The mass spectrum recorded as a peak.
The following include example of mass spectrum.

The following include example of mass spectrum.
CALCULATION OF RELATIVE
ATOMIC MASS
Relative atomic mass of
an element is the average value of all the known isotope atomic weight relative
to the proportional abundances. Relative atomic mass is more useful in
chemistry than its simple atomic mass of element because simple atomic weight
does not consider existence of isotopic forms of elements. The relative abundance
of isotopic element is applied to determine relative atomic mass. Example
isotopic element X contained Y% of zaX and W% of zbX,
the relative atomic mass of element X is determined as given below.
Since y + w
= 100
The length
of peaks of each isotopic atom applied to find the relative atomic mass. Each
atom have peak due to the different mass charge ratio m/e.
ATOMIC SPECTRUM
Definition: Are light waves which have definite line and
colour because they have intermediate wave length which cannot be detected by a
human eye. These spectrums have no harmful affect on human. Atomic spectrum
produced once the atom gain energy which cause the electron to be excited and
jump from lowest energy level. This results into an atom being unstable in
order to maintain the stability these electrons return back to its group state
which accompanied with release of energy inform of radiation. These radiation
have wavelength which detected by a human eye of definite colour definite wave
and definite line.
Continuous Spectrum: are spectrums which contain all possible
frequency over wide range of energy. Continuous spectrums are colourless and
have no definite line because they contain very short wave lengths which are
not detected by an eye. The continuous spectrum recorded in a spectrographic
plate as given below.
Line spectrum: is a spectrum which consists of scattered definite line. These
spectrums have very long wave length. The spectrographic plate of line

Definition:

the emission tube under very low pressure. The H – spectrum recorded in the

The explanation of
horizontal diagram in terms of atomic structure:-
First band: is a colourless band or invisible band. These
are spectrum produced by electrons which excited from the first shell. The
electron from the first shell experience stronger nuclear attractive force
which use high energy in order to jump toward highest energy level. When these
electron returned back release high amount of energy which have shorter wave
length. These wave lengths are not detected by a human eye. The radiations
formed are continuous spectrum such as X – ray, sun rays etc.
Second band: is a visible band which has definite line and
colour. These are line spectrum, produced by electron which excited from the
second shell. The electron in the second shell need moderate energy in order to
jump towards highest energy level when returned back release a normal
energy which its wave length detected by a human eye.
Third band: Is invisible band. These spectrums are
colourless and have no definite line.The electrons which produce these spectrum
caused the scattered spectrum which appear as a colourless band. This is due to
the lowest energy and highest wave length. The following include vertical
diagram of H-spectrum.

PLANCK’S QUANTUM THEORY
Planck put forward the
Planck’s quantum theory. This theory has three main points which include the
following;-
i. Any radiation should be association with energy.
ii. The energy is released inform of radiation, occur in
small packets called
quanta.
iii.The energy is directly proportion to the frequency.

REYDBERG EQUATION
Reydberg put forward a principle
which applied to find wave length of spectrum. The wave length of H-spectrum
determined is applied to find frequency and energy of the H- spectrum. The wave
number is inversely proportional to the square of energy level differences (
n2).

Where λ= wave length

RH = Reydberg constant RH is 1.09 x 107m-1
The value of n1
and n2 for H-spectrum can be obtained if given number of line and
number of series. The value n1 is equal number of series given. But
the value n2 is equal to the number of line plus the number of
series. Example the value of n1 and n2 of third line of
Balmer’s series include the following:-

TRANSITION
ENERGY
Is the energy which is
required to shift electron from one shell to another. The energy required to
shift electrons from one shell to another should be equal to the energy
difference between those two shells. The energy difference between lowest
energy level E1 and highest energy level E2 is obtained
by using the following expression;-
E = E2 – E1……………… (1)
The trend of transition of electrons include the following;
E = E2 – E1
- Transition take place from E1 – E2 exactly.
E > E2 – E1
– Transition take place from E1 toward above E2
E < E2 – E1
– Transition take place from E1 and hang between E1 and E2
But if electrons gain enough energy which is equal to the ionization
energy result the electron to jump completely from ground state to infinite.
These electrons cannot return back instead leave atom ionized positively. The
energy supplied to the atom results to be excited and electron move completely
from the ground state to the infinite. The energy supplied to the electrons is
used as ionization energy and as kinetic energy. The ionization energy of
electrons is equal to the amount of energy associated by electron in the shell
or quantum number where it belongs.
The following
expression is used to find the energy associated by electrons or energy
of that shell.

But discovered that the energy increase from the nucleus atom
toward the high energy level. The energy increases from first shell toward
seventh shell. From seventh shell the energy is zero or the energy at infinite
is zero. Then the energy from infinite which is zero towards the lowest shell
decreases and results to be negative value of energy

The negative value
occurs because the energy of infinite is zero. Since energy increase from
nuclear towards highest energy level result the energy of each shell be
negative value. This formula is used to determine energy of electron at each
shell.

THE QUANTUM THEORY
WAVE PARTICLE DUALITY
NATURE OF MATTER
States that:
"Matter has particle nature as well as wave nature". This means that
matter have dual properties or two properties such as particle nature and wave

HEISENBERG UNCERTAINITY PRINCIPLE
Heisenberg uncertainity
principle state that, “It is impossible to determine position and momentum of
electrons simultaneously with greater accuracy.” It is impossible to determined
position and momentum of electrons because;-
(i)The size of electron is very small and as such radiations of
high energy extremely small wavelength are required to detect it.
(ii) Impact of these high energy photons changes both the direction and speed
of the electron.
Thus; the very act of measurement disturbs the position of electron. The uncertainties in the determination of these two quantities vary inversely. If one is determined fairly
accurately, the other must be corresponding less accurate. The distance of electron: Is a position of electron from the nucleus and momentum of electrons is product of mass of
electrons and velocity of the electron, Heisenberg put forward an expression which is used to determine uncertainity position and momentum of electrons.

WAVE MECHANICS
Wave mechanics deal with electron occupying
space. The electrons revolve the nucleus through orbit and occur in the
orbital.
Orbital:Is a region within an atomic sublevel that can be occupied by maximum two electrons that have opposite spin. Any orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrons.
The energy level of atoms is a specific region around the nucleus electrons can occupy in atoms. A shell is defined as a complete group of orbital possessing the quantum number. The
electrons arranged in the atom starting from orbit from nucleus toward the orbit of highest energy level. The following include position of locating electrons in the atom.
i. Principal quantum number (n)
The atom shells called principal quantum number (main energy
level). The electrons filled in atom in order of increasing the energy from the
nucleus. Each shell have specific constant number or electrons obtained taking

(ii)Subsidiary quantum number (L)
Subsidiary quantum number is a sub energy level.
The sub energy level known as azimuthal quantum number, sub shell or sub
energy level. The shell divides to form sub shell. The total number of sub
shells in each shell is equal to the number of shell from the nucleus. This
describes shapes of orbitals (sub-energy level).Values of subsidiary
quantum number start from 0-------n-1
The names of sub shell include the following;
iii. Magnetic quantum number (m)
This is a quantum number
which describes the orbital of each sub shell. This sub shell divided and form
orbital. Each sub shells have specific number of orbital.
(iv) Spin Quantum number (s)
(iv) Spin Quantum number (s)
These quantum numbers
describe the spinning of electrons in the orbital. Maximum number of electrons
in the orbital in only two which spines in opposite direction. Since each
orbital has two maximum electrons result the sub shell to have constant total
number of electrons which accommodated in all shells S2, p6,
d10, f14, g18, h22 and i26.
In order to write electrons of element consider the knowledge of all four
quantum numbers.
The following series of
sub shell used to write the electrons structure.
This arrangement used to write the electronic configuration.
Arrangement used to
write the electronic configuration has some irregularities or abnormality. This
irregularity occurs because there is overlapping of orbital. The orbital of low
energy jump toward highest energy level and orbital of high energy drop down
towards lowest energy level. Example 4s arranged first before 3d orbital.
RULES WHICH GOVERN
ARRANGEMENT OF ELECTRONS IN ORBITALS
1. Aufbau’s principle –
State that "in the ground state of orbital the lowest energy is filled by
electrons before filling orbital of the highest energy".
This means that electron
filled in order of increasing energy level. The orbital of lowest energy when
is full of electrons then the electron filled on the next orbital of highest
energy level. Consider the following arrangement
2. Hund’s rule of
maximum multiplicity
State that, “The
electrons pair in the orbital of the same sub shell is allowed if all orbital
of the same energy are occupied by electrons of maximum multiplicity. This
means that the degenerate orbital are not allowed to pair up unless each
orbital is singly occupied. The incoming pairing is done in an opposite spin.
Consider a case with 5 electrons in valency shell.
3. Paul’s exclusive
principle
States that, “Two
electrons in an atom can never have exactly similar set of all quantum
numbers.” This means that the maximum number of electrons which is occupied in
the orbital is only two. Two electrons may occupy the same orbital only on
condition that they have their spin in the opposite direction. Two electrons
may have three quantum numbers the same; n, l and ml but the fourth, ms must be
different.
Sometimes the electrons
structure or electronic diagram of ions is written according to what kind of
ions given.
There are two kinds of
ions which include the following;-
Cation or metallic ion
is formed through losing of electrons. The electrons which are lost occur in
the orbital out the of the noble gas structure. The electron removed starting
from orbital of low energy toward the orbital of highest energy.
Anion or non-metallic ion – is formed by gaining electrons. Electrons which gain is added in the orbital having unpaired electrons starting from orbital of lowest energy to the orbital of highest energy level
QUANTUM NUMBER
Is a number which
describe the characteristics of electrons or is a number which is used to
characterize electrons as they occupy orbitals in different energy levels. The
quantum number is a number which describe main energy level, orientation of
orbitals and spinning of electrons.
There are four type of
quantum number which includes the following:-
1.Principle quantum
number (n): Is a number which
specifies the location and the energy of electron. This is a number which
describe the main energy level of electrons. The principle quantum number
called shell orbit, main energy level and stationary state. The principle
quantum number have specific name from the nucleus. K, L, M, N etc.
2. Subsidiary principle
quantum number (L): Is a number which
specifies the shape of orbitals. Subsidiary principle quantum number is a sub
energy level. The sub energy level is known as azimuthal number sub shell or
sub energy level. The shell is divided to form sub shell. The total number of
sub shells in each shell is equal to the number of shells from the nucleus. The
names of sub shells include the following; s, p, d, f, g, h, i. The value of
sub energy level i.e. 0, 1, 2, …L = n - 1.The value of L must be smaller that n
because L = n – 1

Magnetic quantum number: Is a number which specifies the number of orbital
present in a given value of subsidiary quantum number. This is a quantum number
which describes the orientation of orbital. The magnetic quantum number is a
number of orbital. When the sub shell divides form orbital, these orbitals are
called Magnetic quantum number.
1s – Orbital S = X
4. Spin quantum number
(s) – This is a quantum
number which describes the direction in which the electrons spin. There are two
maximum electrons, these electrons are moving in opposite direction. They
revolve clockwise + ½ and another revolve anti – clock wise – ½
APPLICATION OF QUANTUM
NUMBER
Quantum number is
applied to find the number of sub shell (L), number of orbital (m) and total
number of electrons (s) of the given quantum number (n). There are two methods
which are applied to find total sub shells, orbital and electrons.
Find total number of
electrons in the principle quantum number 2.

Total shells = 2 (s, p)
Orbitals = 4 (0, 0, +1,
-1)
Electrons = 8

form
(b) Find the total
number of electrons in the principle quantum number 3
Soln: (by using tree

Example
(a) The modern theory of
electron behavior is based on two assumptions. State them
(b) Define the following
terms
i. Orbital.
ii. Energy levels of atoms.
iii A shell.
iv. Quantum.
Solution:
(a) The modern theory of
electron behavior is based on two assumptions.
(i) An electron has a dual nature i.e. it behaves both
as a particle and wave.
(ii) It is practically impossible to determine
simultaneously both the position and momentum of an electron with any degree of
precision.
(b) (i) An Orbital is a
region within an atomic sublevel that can be occupied by a maximum of two electrons
that have opposite spin. There are s,p,d, and f orbitals is a volume of space
surrounding the nucleus within which there is a more than 95% chances of
finding electrons. Any orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrons.
(ii) Energy level of atoms in specific
region around the nucleus that electrons can occupy in atoms.
(iii) A shell is defined as a complete group of
orbital possessing the same quantum number.
(iv) Quantum is the smallest countable, discrete
packet or increment of radiant energy that can be absorbed or emitted.
Example
Explain the meaning of
the following terms:
(a) Quantization of energy and radiation.
(b) Wave particles duality of matter.
(c) Quantum number.
Solution
(a)Light and other forms of electromagnetic radiations are not
emitted continuously but in discrete “packets” called photons. Energy of an
electromagnetic radiation is also not emitted continuously but in “packets”
called quanta. A photon of radiation carries a quantum of energy. Energy and
radiation are quantized in that electron shall fall from one energy level to
another and not anywhere else in between.
(b) According to de Broglie, every sub – atomic particles has both
wave and particle properties. Photons of light and other electromagnetic
radiations, are regarded and wavelengths. They are regarded as waves because
they have specific frequencies. Although electrons have extremely small mass,
they have both velocity and momentum as particles.
(c) Quantum numbers are used to characterize electrons as they
occupy orbitals in different energy levels. Each electron is characterized by
four quantum numbers:-
The principal quantum number, n, which specifies the
location and energy of the electron.
The azimuthal, subsidiary or angular momentum quantum
number, l, which specifies the shapes of the orbitals.
The magnetic quantum number, m, which specifies the orbital
orientation in space.
The spin quantum number, s, which specifies the direction in
which the electron is spinning. These quantum numbers completely describe the
stationary stage of the electron.
Example
(a) Distinguish between the following terms:-
(i) An orbital and orbit.
(ii) S – Orbital and P – orbital.
(iii) A quantum of light and quantization of energy.

quantum numbers:-
(i) n
(ii) l
(iii) m
(iv) ms
(c) In a tabular
form specify all the four quantum number for each electron in an atom whose n
value is 2. Given all the orbitals are full of electrons.
(d) Given the
value of the quantum numbers n, l and m for the electron with the highest
energy in sodium atom in the ground state.
(e) Write
down all the quantum number of all the electrons in the ground state of
nitrogen atom.
(f) Give the
values of all the four quantum number for 2p electrons in Nitrogen.

explain why the following quantum numbers are not allowed.
i) n =
1, l = 1, m = 0
ii) n = 1, l
= 0, m = 2
iii) n = 4, l = 3,
m = 4
iv) n = 0, l = -1,
m = 1
v) n = 2, l
= -1, m = 1
Solution
(a) (i) An orbit is a well define circular path in
which electrons were assumed to revolve around the nucleus. Whereas an orbital
is a three dimensional region of space around the nucleus whereby there is high
probability of finding an electron.
(ii) S–Orbital is spherical
and hence non directional whereas p-orbital is dumbbell in shape and it is
directional.
(iii) A quantum of light is a photon of
radiation emitted when an electron jumps from one energy level to another
whereas quantization of energy means energy emitted or absorbed following
electron transition between one energy level and another is not continuous
rather it is in form of small packet called quanta.
(iv) A quantum shell is the energy level
of an electron in a given atom whereas quantum number refers to specifies way
of defining an electron in a given atom whereas quantum number refers to
specified way of defining an electron in a given orbital of an atom using n, l,
m and ms values.
(b) (i) n – represents the principle quantum number;
It specifies the location and the energy of an electron.
It is a measure of the volume of the electrons cloud.
As the value of n
increases or becomes less negative it means the energy levels of the electrons
get further away from the nucleus n can have only integers 1, 2, 3, 4 to
infinite represented by K,L,M,N etc. Also called azimuthal
quantum number or subsidiary quantum number, specifies the shapes of the
orbital, when n = 1 there’s only l s orbital where n = 2, there’s 2s and 2p
orbital, thus for a given value of n, l, are all from 0, 1, 2…up to l = n - 1.
Thus when n = 4 values are 0, 1, 2 and 3. Which represents 4s, 4p, 4d and 4,
â„“ sub–levels m
Magnetic quantum number specifies the number of orbital
present in a given value of â„“.
It specifies the orientating i.e. the direction of the orbital to magnetic field in which it’s placed.
It accounts for the splitting of the spectral
lines observed when an atom emitting radiation is placed in a magnetic field,
ms – Refers to spin quantum number.
(i) It indicates the direction in which
the electron spins.
(ii) Only two values are allowed for an
electrons i.e. electrons may spin clockwise, shown as +1/2 or
may spin anticlockwise as shown as ½ or

(ii) n
(iii) l
(iv) ms
(b) If n = 2,
tabulate the values of 1, ml and ms.
(c) Give the
possible values of 1 and m, for an electron with the principal quantum number,
n= 3
(d) Briefly
explain why an electron cannot have the quantum number n = 2, l = 2 and ml = 2
Solution
(a) (i) ml – Magnetic quantum number with values from -l to +l.
These are numbers showing the number of sub – level in each energy level.
– Describes orientation
(ii) n – Principal (shell) Quantum
number value of 1, 2, 3 etc theses are numbers used to represent the main
energy level in which an electrons is found.
(iii) l – Azimuthal or subsidiary or Angular
or orbital Quantum number. They specify the shape of orbitals.
(iv) ms – Magnetic spin
Quantum number with values +1/2 and -1/2 shows the
spinning of electrons in orbitals (clockwise and anticlockwise direction).
(a) For n = 2, the
scheme below illustrates the value of 1, ml and ms.
l=0, 1
ml=-1, 0, +1, 0
ms= ±1/2, ±1/2, ±1/2, ±1/2
l=0, 1
ml=-1, 0, +1, 0
ms= ±1/2, ±1/2, ±1/2, ±1/2
Therefore the total number of electrons =
8
(b) If n = 3,
possible values of 1 and m are;
l = 0, 1 and 2
m = 0 for l = 0
m = -1, 0 and +1 for l = 1
m = -2, -1, 0, +1
and 2 for l = 2
Note that: l=n-1
(c) An electrons cannot have quantum
numbers, n = 2, l = 2 and m = 2. This is because when n = 2, l can be 0 and 1;
then ml can be 0, -1, 0, +1 different values which can
occupy in orbitals (i.e. they have n, l and m values the same but they must
spin in opposite directions and hence have different ms values).
RULES FOR FILLING ELECTRONS IN THE
ORBITALS OF AN ATOM
The orbitals of an atom can be filled with electrons by
applying the following rules.
i)Aufbau Principle
This is also known as the building
up principle. According to this principle "The electrons in an atom are so
arranged that they occupy orbitals in the order of their increasing
energy."
Thus, the orbital with the lowest
energy will be filled first, then the next higher in energy, and so on. Since,
the energy of an orbital in the absence of any magnetic field depends upon the
principal quantum number (n) and the azimuthal quantum number (l), hence
the order of filling orbitals with electrons may be
obtained from the following generalizations.
a) The orbitals for which n + I is
the lowest is filled first.
b) When two orbitals have the same
values of n+l, the orbital having the lower value of n is filled first.
The order of filling of various
orbitals with electrons obtained by this rule is given below:
1s, 2s. 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s,
4d, 5p, 6s, 4f,5d, 6p, 7s, 5f…
To remember this sequence may be a
difficult task. Given a long side is a simple way of working out this order. In
this method a series of arrows running from upper right to the lower left gives
the order of orbitals with increasing energy.
ii) Pauli’s Exclusion principle
In 1925 Wolfgang Pauli discovered
what is known as the exclusion principle. This principle is very useful in
constructing the electronic configuration of atoms. According to this principle
“No two electrons in an atom can have the same values for all the four quantum
numbers”.
For example in 1s orbital of helium
atom there are two electrons. According to the concept of quantum number and
Pauli’s rule, their quantum numbers are:
The + and - sign before j refers
to the clockwise and anticlockwise spins of the electrons.
Thus, the two electrons having the
same values of n, I and m could have different values
of s, i.e., their spins are in the opposite directions. This leads to a
very significant observation that
"Each orbital can accommodate
at the maximum two electrons with opposite spins."
Applications of the Pauli's
exclusion principles
The Pauli's exclusion principle
leads to the following conclusions:
(a) An orbital cannot have more than
two electrons.
(b) In any main energy level
(shell), the maximum number of electrons is twice the in number of orbitals, or
is equal to 2n2, where n is the principal quantum number.
iii) Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity
The rules discussed above do not
give any idea for filling electrons into the orbitals having equal energies
(such states are called degenerate states). For example, three
p-orbitals, i.e. px, py and pz, have equal energy. How should electrons
be filled into these orbitals? Let us take an example in which three electrons
are to be filled into three p-orbitals. The three electrons can be filled into
three p orbitals in two different ways as shown below.
Now, which of the two is correct?
The answer to this question is given by Hund's rule, Hund's rule states that,
"When more than one orbitals of
equal energies are available, then the electron*,] first occupy these orbitals
separately with parallel spins. The pairing of electrons will | only after all
the orbitals of a given sub-level are singly occupied."
According to the Hund's rule, the
correct way of filling three electrons in three p orbitals that in which
each orbital is singly occupied, (arrangement II above).
Hund's rule is also known as the Hund's rule of maximum
multiplicity.
Explanation
Two electrons with parallel spins,
tend to be as far apart as possible to minimize the electrostatic repulsion.
Therefore, the electrons prefer to occupy the orbitals singly
as far as possible. When all the orbitals get singly occupied, then the incoming electron has two choices either to pair up with the other electron or to go to the next higher orbital.
When vacant orbital of suitable energy is not available, then the incoming electron will have no choice except to pair up with another electron.
as far as possible. When all the orbitals get singly occupied, then the incoming electron has two choices either to pair up with the other electron or to go to the next higher orbital.
When vacant orbital of suitable energy is not available, then the incoming electron will have no choice except to pair up with another electron.

(iii) L
(e) Which of the following electronic configuration is
correct for 14p in its ground state?
State the principle
violated in each case
Solution
(a) (i) The Heisenberg’s uncertainly principle states that;
“it is impossible to measure simultaneously the exact position and exact
velocity (momentum) of an electron.” Any attempt to measure one quality will
distract the measurements of the other quantity
(ii) Hund’s rule states
that, “electron pairing is not allowed until all orbitals of the particular energy
sub – level are occupied by at least one electron.”
(iii) Paul’s Exclusion
Principle, “states that no two electrons may have all the four quantum number
the same.” Two electrons may have three quantum numbers of the same; the paired
electrons are always in opposite direction at the same time.
(E.g.
and
).
(iv)Aufbau Principle states that, “In electrons
configuration, electrons are filled in order of increasing energy levels.” Thus
the lowest energy available must be filled up first. The orbital energy
increase in the following order; is 2s, 2p, 3s, 4p, 5p etc.
(b) (i) n = 1, 1 = 1, ml = 0 this is not
allowed because l must be smaller than n, in the case l = 1 which is not
allowed.
(ii) n = 1, 1 = 0, ml = 2. This is not allowed because 1 =
0 and ml = 0
(iii) n = 4, 1 = 3, ml = 2. This is not allowed because for 1 = 3
can range from -3, +3, thus, +4 is not
allowed.
(iv) n = 0, l = 0, ml = 0; this is not allowed because n
cannot be zero.
(v) n = 2, l = -1, ml = 1. This is not allowed because
l cannot be a negative number and n can never be = 0
(c) (i) 1 s sub energy level has one – orbital (which
is 1 s – orbital).
(ii) 2 p sub energy has three p – orbital (which is 1 s – orbital).
(iii) 3 d sub energy level has five d – orbital [which are
3 d (x2 – y2), 3dz2 3dxy, 3 and 3dyz].
(iv) 4 f
sub energy level has seven f – orbital [which are 4xy, 4fyz, 4fz, 4f(x2

4f(x2-z2)
and 4f (y2 – z2)].
(d) (i) K has one sub level (which is l s2).
(ii) N has
four sub levels (which are 4s2, 4p6, 4d10 and
4f14).
(iii) L has two
sub levels (which are 2s2 and 2p6).
(e) Is the correct electronic configuration of 15p
This is correct since it obeys principle governing electron in an atom

possible

(ii) N
(iii) Ag
(c)Write the electronic configuration of Na+ and F-
then show the other element whose electronic configuration resembles these
ions. Show that electronic configurations of Cu and Cr are unusually written.
Give reasons.
Solution
(a)(i)Paul’s exclusion principle states that; “no two electrons
may have all the four quantum number the same i.e. electrons may occupy the
same orbital only on conditions that they have their spins in the opposite
direction.”
(ii) Hund’s

IONIC/ ELECTROVALENT BOND.
An ionic or
electrovalent bond is formed by complete transfer of one or more electrons from
the atom of the metal to that of a non-metal.
Note: - As a
result of electron transfer the following changes occur in the reacting atom:-
(a)
Both the atoms acquire stable noble gas configurations.
(b)
The atoms that loses its electrons becomes positively charged ion called
cation, the atom which gain this electrons becomes negatively charged ions
called anion.
(c) The
two oppositely charged ions .i.e. the cation and the anion are then held
together by the coulombic force of attraction to form an ionic bond .
Note:- During the formation of ionic bond, a certain amount of energy is
released.
e.g Na + Cl → Na+cl-
This
ionic bond may be defined as the coulombic force of attraction which holds the
oppositely charged ions together.
ELECTROVALENCY
The number of electrons
lost or gained by an atom of any element is termed as electrovalency. The
element which gives up the electron(s) to form positive charge or ions are said
to have positive valency. While the element(s) which accepts electrons to form
negative ions are said to exhibit negatively valency.
Note:- Variable electrovalency of iron exist as Fe2+ and Fe3+ in ferrous sulphate and ferric sulphate .when a compound is formed by the transfer of electrons, the element that loses electron(s) is said to be oxidized and the element that gains electrons is said to be reduced.
Oxidation is a process which involves loss of electrons where as reduction is the process which involves gaining of electrons.
PROPERTIES OF
IONIC/ELECTROVALENT BOND
An ionic/Electrovalent bond has the following properties:-
An ionic/Electrovalent bond has the following properties:-
(i) An ionic bond is formed due to the coulombic attraction between the
positively and negatively charged ions.
(ii) An ionic bond is non-directional, the strength of interaction between two
ions depend upon distance but not the directional.
(iii) An ionic bond gets broken when the substance is dissolved in polar
solvent such as water or when the substance is melted.
Typical examples of ionic bond:-
(a) Na + Cl → NaCl
FACTORS
INFLUENCING THE FORMATION OF IONIC BOND
The main steps
involved in the formation of an electrovalent/ ionic bond are:-
(i) Removal of electrons from one atom, in this stage energy equal
to the ionization energy is absorbed.
(ii) Gaining of electrons by the other atoms .In this step
energy equal to the electrons affinity is released.
(iii) Combination of cation and anions. These ions are held together by coulombic force of attraction. In this step, energy equal to the lattice energy is released.
(iii) Combination of cation and anions. These ions are held together by coulombic force of attraction. In this step, energy equal to the lattice energy is released.
(II) COVALENT BOND
A covalent bond is formed between two atoms (similar and dissimilar) by a mutual sharing of electrons .the shared pairs of electrons are counted towards the stability of both the participating atoms.
DEFINITION: - A covalent bond is defined as the force of attraction arising due to mutual sharing of electrons between the two atoms.
When the two atoms combine by mutual sharing of electrons, then each of the atoms acquire stable configuration of the nearest noble gas.
COVALENCY
Is the number of electrons which an atom contributes towards mutual sharing during the formation of a chemical bond.
Example of the Covalency: - Covalency of hydrogen (H2)
CHARACTERISTICS
OF COVALENT BOND
(i) Mode of
formation, covalent bond are formed due to mutual sharing of one or more pairs
of electrons.
(ii) Directional
character , covalent bonds are directional in nature this is because the shared
electrons remains localized in a definite space between the nuclei of the two
atoms.This gives a directional character to the covalent
bond.
SINGLE COVALENT BOND
A covalent bond formed by mutual sharing of one pair of electrons. A single covalent bond is represented by a small line (-) between the two atoms.
E.g
A covalent bond formed by mutual sharing of one pair of electrons. A single covalent bond is represented by a small line (-) between the two atoms.
E.g
MULTIPLE COVALENT BONDS
The covalent bonds developed due to mutual sharing of more than one pairs of electrons are termed as multiple covalent bond.
The covalent bonds developed due to mutual sharing of more than one pairs of electrons are termed as multiple covalent bond.
The multiple covalent bonds
are:-
(i) Double covalent bond
(ii) Triple covalent bond
(ii) Triple covalent bond
Double covalent
bond is the bond formed between two atoms due to the sharing of two electrons
pairs. Its simply called Double bond
E.g. O2 → O = O
CO → C = O
etc.
Triple covalent bond is the bond formed due to the sharing of three electron pairs
E.g
N2 →
N ≡ N,
Acetylene H – C ≡ C – H.
(I) FORMATION OF MOLECULES HAVING DOUBLE BOND.
(i) Formation of oxygen (O2) molecule:-
Each oxygen atom has six electrons in its outer most shell. Thus it requires two more electrons to achieve the nearest noble gas configuration.
E.g
(ii) Formation of carbon dioxide(CO2) gas
The electronic configuration of carbon and oxygen are :-
C 1s2 2s22p2 2,4
O 1s2 2s22p4 2,6
Thus each carbon atom requires four ,and each oxygen atom requires two more electrons to acquire noble gas configuration.This is achieved as follows
e.g
(iii) Formation of
molecules having triple bond :-
(a) Formation of nitrogen (N2) molecule.
(a) Formation of nitrogen (N2) molecule.
COMPARISON BETWEEN SINGLE,DOUBLE AND TRIPLE COVALENT BONDS
Triple bond length < Double bond length < Single bond length.
Since a shorter bond means greater bond strength hence the energy required to separate the bonded atoms( called bond energy) follows the order
Triple bond
> Double bond > Single bond
FACTORS FAVOURING THE FORMATION OF COVALENT BOND
The following are the factors that favour the formation of a covalent bond:-
(i) High
ionization enthalpy (energy).
The element having higher ionisation enthalpy (energy) cannot lose electrons easily.
(ii) Nearly equal electron gain enthalpy or electron Affinity.
The atoms of the two elements which have equal or nearly equal electron gain enthalpies or electrons affinities tend to complete their outer shells by mutual sharing of electrons.
(iii) Nearly equal electronegativity.
Equal or nearly equal electronegativity of the two combining elements does not permit the transfer of electron(s) from one atom to another.
(iv) High nuclear charge and small atomic size.
High nuclear charge, and smaller atomic size of the combining elements favour covalent bond formation, because the transfer of electrons in such case will not be possible.

(ii) POLAR COVALENT BOND
When a covalent bond is formed between two atoms of different elements, the bonding pair of electrons does not lie exactly midway between the two atoms. It lies more towards the atom which has more affinity for electrons.
The atom with higher affinity for electrons thus develops a slight negative charge and the atom with lesser affinity for electrons a slight positive charge, such molecules are called polar molecules.The covalent bond between two unlike atoms which differ in the affinities for electrons is said to be a polar covalent bond.
Example of polar covalent bond are hydrogen chloride (H Cl) , water (H2O)

VALENCE SHELL ELECTRON PAIR REPULSION (VSEPR) THEORY.
The VSEPR
theory was proposed by R.J Gillespie and R.S Nyholmn in 1957. This theory was
developed to predict the shapes of the molecule in which the atom are bonded
together with single bond only. This theory is based on the repulsions
between the electron pairs in the valence shell of the atoms in the molecule.
The main postulate of the vsepr theory are:-
(i) The geometry of a molecule is determined by the total number of electron
pairs (bonding and non-bonding) around the central atom of the molecule.
The shape of the molecule depends upon the orientation of these electron pairs in the space around the central atom.
(ii) The electron pairs (shared or lone pairs) around the central atom in a molecule tend to stay as far away from each other as possible so as to minimize the repulsion forces
between them.
The shape of the molecule depends upon the orientation of these electron pairs in the space around the central atom.
(ii) The electron pairs (shared or lone pairs) around the central atom in a molecule tend to stay as far away from each other as possible so as to minimize the repulsion forces
between them.
(iii) The strength of repulsion between different electron pairs follows the
order.
Lone pair-lone pair > lone pair-shared pair > shared pair-shared pair
The shared pair of electrons are also called bond pair of electrons.The presence of lone pair(s) of electrons on the central atom causes some distortions in the expected regular shape of the molecules.
Lone pair-lone pair > lone pair-shared pair > shared pair-shared pair
The shared pair of electrons are also called bond pair of electrons.The presence of lone pair(s) of electrons on the central atom causes some distortions in the expected regular shape of the molecules.
PREDICTING THE SHAPE OF MOLECULES ON THE BASIS OF VESPR THEORY
(i) Molecules with
two bond pairs
In a molecule having two bonds pairs of electrons around its central atom, the bond pairs are located in the opposite side (at an angle of 180º) of the central atom so that the repulsion between them is minimum.
(ii) Molecules with three bond pair
In a molecule having two bonds pairs of electrons around its central atom, the bond pairs are located in the opposite side (at an angle of 180º) of the central atom so that the repulsion between them is minimum.
(ii) Molecules with three bond pair
In a molecule having
three bond pairs of electrons around its central atom, the electron pair
form an equilateral triangular arrangement around central atom. Thus the three
bond pairs at 120º with respect of each other. Thus the molecule having three
bond pairs around its central atom have trigonal planar (triangular planar
shape).
(iii)
Molecules with four bond pairs
In a molecule having four bond pairs of electrons the four bond pairs are arranged tetrahedral around the central atom. Thus the four band pairs are at an angle pf 129º 28’ with respect to each other. Therefore the molecule having four bond pairs around its central atom has a tetrahedral shape.

(iv) Molecules with five
bond pairs
Five bond pair orient themselves around the central atom in a trigonal bipyramidal way. Three bond pairs are in a plane called equatorial plane, and oriented at an angle of 120º with respect to each other.
Thus a molecule having five bond pairs around its central atom has a triangular bipyramidal shape.
Therefore the molecule of the type shape AB5 are trigonal bipyramidal in shape e.g PCl5, PF5, SbCl5.

SHAPES OF THE
MOLECULES HAVING BOND PAIRS AND LONE
PAIR ELECTRONS.
The pair of electrons in
the valence shell of an atom which is not involved in bonding is called lone
pair of electrons.
For example the nitrogen
atom in ammonia molecules (NH3) has one lone pair of electrons, the
oxygen atom in water molecule (H2O) has two lone pairs of electrons.
(i) Molecules having
three bond pairs and one lone pair.
A molecule having three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons, thus has in all four pairs of electrons around its central atom.
Therefore these four pairs of electrons are distributed tetrahedral around the central atom.
A molecule having three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons, thus has in all four pairs of electrons around its central atom.
Therefore these four pairs of electrons are distributed tetrahedral around the central atom.
(ii) A molecule of
AB3 type has a triangular pyramidal shape
Typical molecules of this type are NH3, NF3,PCl3 and H3O+.
(iii) Molecules with two bond pairs and two lone pairs
The four electron pairs (two bond pair + two lone pair ) are distributed tetrahedral around the central atom
Typical molecules of this type are NH3, NF3,PCl3 and H3O+.
(iii) Molecules with two bond pairs and two lone pairs
The four electron pairs (two bond pair + two lone pair ) are distributed tetrahedral around the central atom
The two lone pairs are
the central atom repel the bond pairs slightly inward due to greater lone
pair-bond pair repulsion. As a result the bond angle in such a molecule
is less than the tetrahedral vale of 109º 28’
The presence of only two bond pairs is the molecules gives a bent shape (inverted V- shaped) to the molecule. Example include H2O, H2S, F2O and SCl2.

HYDROGEN BONDING
If a hydrogen atom
is bonded to a highly electronegative element such as fluorine , oxygen,
nitrogen, then the shared pair of electrons lies more towards the
electronegative element. This leads to a polarity in the bond in such a way
that w slight positive charge get developed on H- atom.
