Atomic structure and orbitals (notes), Summaries of Chemistry

Download Atomic structure and orbitals (notes) and more Summaries Chemistry in PDF only on Docsity! atomic structure & orbitals • Stability of electrons → attraction to nucleus + centripetal force from orbital • 4 → wave equation (psi) ↳ 42 gives probability density map - likelihood of an electron being at a place at a certain time • orbital → region that an electron is likely to be found in • quantum numbers → define Orbitals • 'n' values → distance from the nucleus → energy level principal energy levels • 'l ' → angular momentum→ shape of the orbital l 10 I 2 3 02 l < n- l orbital S P d f- • ' me ' → 3d orientation of the orbital ↳ ex : 2pm V5 . 2py V5 . Zpz - l <meal ◦ radial node → area with 0 prob. Of electrons to be found nodal plane→ • angular momentum → mass ✗ velocity radius • ' Ms ' → spin state of electron
