7:19 AM

The task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees. - Erwin Schrödinger

An Inconvenient Truth - The Planetary Model of the Atom cannot exist
Newtonian Mechanics says that an electron orbiting a nucleus must be constantly accelerated in order to maintain its orbit
Maxwell's Electromagnetic Theory requires an accelerated charged particle to emit radiation
Thus, the electron would simply spiral into the nucleus in a fraction of a second.
Bohr's Model, which had electrons occupying certain quantized fixed orbits, was a temporary band-aid to this problem
But this was soon replaced by quantum mechanical models, namely, Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, and the Schrödinger equation.
But this was soon replaced by quantum mechanical models, namely, Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, and the Schrödinger equation.
The Schrödinger equation
We learned in the last class that electrons exhibit wave-particle duality. That is, they behave as both a wave and a particle.
The Schrödinger equation is a mathematical formula that calculates the wave function of an electron.
The wave function is a complex expression that contains all the information about the electron's state such as its position and energy
The solutions to the Schrödinger equation for an atom yield specific energy levels that the electron can occupy. These are quantized meaning they can only have certain specific energy values.
The solutions also define atomic orbitals, which are regions around the nucleus where the electron is most likely to be found. 
Each atomic orbital has a characteristic shape and energy level

ψ is the wave function of the particle
m is the mass of the particle
V is the potential energy as a function of position
E is the total energy of the system

Each quantum state solution of the Schrödinger equation provides a wave function
﷐𝜓﷮𝑛ℓ𝑚﷯﷐𝑟,𝜃,𝜙﷯= Total Wave Function
﷐𝑅﷮𝑛ℓ﷯﷐𝑟﷯ = Radial Part (influence energy)
﷐𝑌﷮ℓ𝑚﷯﷐𝜃,𝜙﷯ = Angular part (influence shape)
﷐𝜓﷮𝑛ℓ𝑚﷯﷐𝑟,𝜃,𝜙﷯=﷐𝑅﷮𝑛ℓ﷯﷐𝑟﷯﷐𝑌﷮ℓ𝑚﷯(𝜃,𝜙) 
The wave function is a product of a radial and angular component defined by three quantum numbers (n, ℓ, and m)
 We do not measure the wave function itself, but the physically significant quantity ﷐𝜓﷮2﷯
 
﷐𝝍﷮𝟐﷯ represents the probability density for locating the electron at a particular point in the atom

The wave function for a one-electron atom in the state (n, ℓ, m) is called an orbital
Although the term orbital resembles the circular orbits of the Bohr atom there is no real resemblance.
An orbital is not a trajectory traced by an individual electron.
Rather it is the probability of finding the electron at the point ﷐𝑟,𝜃,𝜙﷯ given by the square of its wavefunction ﷐﷐𝜓﷮2﷯﷮𝑛ℓ𝑚﷯﷐𝑟,𝜃,𝜙﷯
For shorthand, we say the electron is in the an (n, ℓ, m) orbital.
The quantum numbers (n, ℓ, m) define the atomic orbital
Quantum number n is called the principle quantum number and defines the energy for the electron in a hydrogen atom
n can take the values 1, 2, 3, and so on.
These correlate to the various shells of the atom
n = 1 is the lowest allowed value and the ground state of the hydrogen atom
The ground state depends only on the distance from the proton and is written 𝜓﷐𝑟﷯
The probability density falls of rapidly from the nucleus and because it does not depend on direction in space it is said to be spherically symmetric

Quantum number ℓ is called the azimuthal quantum number and defines the shape of an orbital
ℓ is restricted to the values 0, 1, 2, . . . n - 1
The values for ℓ are denoted by the letters s, p, d, f, g, h . . . .

It is common to pair these with the principle quantum number (see right)
In a hydrogen atom, the 2s and 2p orbitals are considered degenerate meaning they have the same energy value. This is not the case for other atoms . . .

Quantum number m (or ﷐𝒎﷮ℓ﷯) is called the magnetic quantum number and determines the spatial orientation of an orbital
m is restricted to the values 0, ±1, ±2, . . . , ±ℓ.


The three 2p (ℓ=1) orbitals are shown to the right

They have the same shape, but different orientation
Each is oriented along a different axis

There is a fourth quantum number ﷐𝑚﷮𝑠﷯  ms called the spin quantum number 
This does not arise from the wave equation but was determined empirically (Stern-Gerlach experiment page 147)
﷐𝑚﷮𝑠﷯ can take the values +﷐1﷮2﷯ or −﷐1﷮2﷯
In summary these are the allowed values for the quantum numbers:

The rules for how atomic orbitals get filled by electrons
Aufbau Principle  (building up)
Lowest energy orbitals fill up first
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Maximum of two electrons per Atomic orbital (AO)
Hund's Rule
Fill up empty orbitals of same energy first
All electrons should be same spin up first

When an atom is one away from filling a subshell (see group 11) or one away from half-filling a subshell (see group 6) the electron from a similar energy level (the previous s subshell) may donate one of its electrons.
This lowers electron-electron repulsion and tends to be more stable
Being familiar with these exceptions will help you understand the chemistry of these elements better
Here is a list of exceptions:

Exceptions to Madelung's Rule 
The exact ground-state electronic configuration of most atoms can be found by use of aufbau principle 
and Madelung's energy ordering rule. However exact ground-state electronic configurations of some

configuration of nickel as IAr13d84s , some calculations result in the alternative IAr13d9 4s.

Electron Configuration Exceptions.jpg Machine generated alternative text:
Exceptions to Madelung's Rule 
The exact ground-state electronic configuration of most atoms can be found by use of aufbau principle 
and Madelung's energy ordering rule. However exact ground-state electronic configurations of some 
atoms denoted by yellow in the below periodic table can't be found in this way.

Excited State Configurations
The configurations we have been working on were all in the ground state.
When a photon of sufficient energy is absorbed one or more electrons can be moved into a higher energy level.
Under this condition the atom is considered to be in an excited state configuration.
Examples of excited states:
Simplest: Flipping the spin state of an electron
Pairing up an electron when Hund's rule would suggest otherwise
Moving an electron from one orbital to another
Here is a depiction of this with oxygen
Ground State Oxygen
Flipped spin state
Electrons are paired up
when not expected
Electron is promoted
