Voice Notes:

What do we do now that Bohr’s model isn’t perf??

Einstein and plank came up with energy levels

first - fifth nrg levels

Further from nucleus = more nrg

No ‘in between’ nrg

Quantum Mechanical Mode

• Energy is quantized, comes in chunks
• a Quanta is the amnt of nrg needed to move from one energy level to another
• Since the nrg of an atom is never in between, there must be a quantum leap in nrg
• Schrodinger derived an equation that descried the nrg and position of the electrons in an atom

Atomic Orbitals

• Principal Quantum number (n) = nrg level of the electron
• 1-7 levels
• W/in each energy level the complex math of Schrodinger’s equation describes several shapes
• Helped to determine orbitals
• Called atomic orbitals (even though not all of them were orbital shapes, just chose this name to credit bohr and rutherford)
