Chapter Five- Electrons in Atoms

Glencoe - Chapter Five

5.1 Models of the Atom

  • What was inadequate about Rutherford's atomic model?
  • What was the new proposal in the Bohr model of the atom?
  • What does the quantum mechanical model determine about the electrons in the atom?
  • How do sublevels or principal energy levels differ?

    5.2 Electron Arrangement in Atoms

  • What are the three rules for writing the electron configurations of elements?
  • Why do actual electron configurations for some elements differ from those assigned using the Aufbau Prinicple? (only the Aufbau Principle will be applied for this level class)

    5.3 Physics and the Quantum Mechanical Model

  • How are the wavelength and frequency of light related?
  • What causes atomic emission spectra?
  • How are the frequencies of light, an atom emits, related to changes of electron energies?
  • How does quantum mechanics differ from classical mechanics?

    Know all of the terms as found on page 148 in your text book.
