Learning Objectives:
the historical development of atomic theory, especially the contributions of Rutherford, Bohr and Schrodinger
Bohr’s planetary model of the atom and how this explains the bright line (emission) spectrum of hydrogen
the electron energy levels in an atom are quantized
electrons absorb energy moving to higher energy levels and release energy moving to lower energy levels
when electrons move to a lower energy level, the energy is released in the form of light (photons). The energy of the light is related to the difference in the starting and ending energy levels of the electron
in the quantum or wave model of the atom, an atomic orbital is a region in space with high probability of finding an electron, and each atomic orbital can hold two electrons
how to interpret electron configurations as given on the Regents chart
how to write the electron configuration of an element in an excited state
that atoms become ions by losing or gaining electrons to attain a Noble gas electron configuration
how to explain neon lights, bright line spectra, and flame tests in terms of electron transition between energy levels
similarities and differences between Mendeleev’s Periodic Table the modern Periodic Table
the information given for each element on the Regents Periodic Table
special names for elements in Groups 1, 2, 17, 18
transition metal salts dissolve in water to give colored solutions
what is meant by atomic radius, and how to determine atomic radii of elements using Table S
how to explain the trend in atomic radius across a Period in terms of nuclear charge
how to explain the trend in atomic radius down a Group in terms of electron energy levels
the definition of ionization energy, and how to determine ionization energy of elements using Table S
how to explain trends in ionization energy across a Period and down a Group in terms of the distance of valence electron from the nucleus
cations are smaller than their atom (less electrons) and anions are larger than their atom (more electrons)
the definition of electronegativity, and how to determine electronegativity of elements using Table S
how to explain trends in electronegativity across a Period and down a Group in terms of the distance the valence electron are from the nucleus
