Atomic Strucure, core points !!

In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom. He proposed that the electrons in an atom could only be in certain orbits, or energy levels, around the nucleus. Refinement of Bohr theory led to the modern theory of atomic structure based on quantum mechanics.

Bohr's model is based on particle theory.

As wave-particle duality which says that all micromatter particle exhibit dualitya new model is proposed.

Debroglie p = h/lambda

Uncertainty principle delta(p)* delta(x) >=h/4pi

The quantum mechanics model

Principal quantum number-Shell,Azimuthal quantum number-sublevel,Magnetic quantum number-orbital, spin quantum number

The orbits are called as shells. The energy level of orbits or shells increases as they increase in distance from the nucleus of the atom. The orbits or shells are represented by numbers as 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7. They are represented by letters as K,L,M,N,O,P,Q.

Sublevel of an Orbit

The energy levels, or orbits or shells are further divided into sublevels, or subshells. These subshells are designated by letters: s for the first possible sublevel, p for the second possible sublevel, d for the third, f for the fourth, g for the fifth, and from here on they simply go in alphabets.

The number of sublevels of each energy level is equal to the number of the energy levels. This means energy level 1, the K shell will have only one sub levels ? s sublevel. The energy level 2, the L shell will have 2 sub levels ? s and p.


Orbitals

Sublevels have further divisions called orbitals. Electrons are found in these orbitals. Each orbital contains two electrons.

?s? sublevel has only one orbital. ?p? sublevel has 3 orbitals. ?d? sublevel has 5 orbitals. ?f? sublevel has 7 orbitals.

The two electons in each orbital spin in different directions.


Shape of Orbitals
1. Spherical shape for s.
2. Dumbbell shape for orbitals of p.
3. Four-lobed shape for orbitals of d.
4. Complex shape for all orbitals of higher sublevels.

Pauli's exclusion principle: No two electrons can have all four same quantum numbers

Electrons occupy the lowest energy sublevels that are available. This is known as ?aufbau? order or principles.


Hund?s rule says that, for any set of orbitals of equal energy say p orbitals of orbit 2, there is one electron is each orbital before the second electron enters or occupies an orbital.

The energy level of some sublevels at higher orbits is less than the some sublevels at lower orbitals. This fact is to be kept in mind when electron configuration is determined for any atom. The increasing order of energy levels of sublevels is:

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f*, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f*, 6d, 7p, 8s
Visible lines in H atom
spectrum are called the
BALMER series.

Atomic Spectra
When one heats up a gas, it emits light of various wavelengths. For monatomic gases formed of only one kind of atom the emission spectra contains only light of particular wavelengths, and for hydrogen the spectra obeys a very simple relation:

1/lambda = RH[(1/nf²) -(1/ni²) ]

where ni and nf are positive non-zero integers with ni > nf and RH is a constant called Rydberg's constant:
RH = 1.097 x 10^7 m - 1. (2)


One of the first such series of lines discovered which obey the rule was found by Balmer, which corresponded to nf = 2 and is in the visible light region.
certain phenomena of light can be explained when light is considered as composed of particle. Certain other phenomena can be explained by considering light as a wave.

Similarly micromatter like electrons have particle characteristics and wave characteristics.
Shape of Orbitals
1. Spherical shape for s.
2. Dumbbell shape for orbitals of p.
3. Four-lobed shape for orbitals of d.
4. Complex shape for all orbitals of higher sublevels.

What is Hyperconjugation ?

Hyperconjugation is the stabilising interaction that results from the interaction of the electrons in a s-bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty (or partially filled) p-orbital or a p-orbital to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system. Based on the valence bond model of bonding, hyperconjugation can be described as "double bond - no bond resonance" but it is not what we would "normally" call resonance, though the similarity is shown below. What is the key difference between hyperconjugation and resonance ? hyperconjugation involves a sigma orbital component, resonance is just pi orbitals Hyperconjugation is a factor in explaining why increasing the number of alkyl substituents on a carbocation or radical centre leads to an increase in stability.
Let's consider how a methyl group is involved in hyperconjugation with a carbocation centre.
interaction of a methyl group
First we need to draw it to show the C-H s-bonds.
Note that the empty p orbital associated with the positive charge at the carbocation centre is in the same plane (i.e. coplanar) with one of the C-H s-bonds (shown in blue.)
look at the sigma bonds
This geometry means the electrons in the s-bond can be stabilised by an interaction with the empty p-orbital of the carbocation centre.
(this diagram shows the similarity with resonance and the structure on the right has the "double bond - no bond" character)
electrons in the sigma bond interact with the empty p orbital
The stabilisation arises because the orbital interaction leads to the electrons being in a lower energy orbital

orbital interaction diagram


Of course, the C-C s-bond is free to rotate, and as it does so, each of the C-H s-bonds in turn undergoes the stabilising interaction.
So the ethyl cation has 3 C-H s-bonds that can be involved in hyperconjugation.
The more hyperconjuagtion there is, the greater the stabilisation of the system.
So for example, the t-butyl cation has 9 C-H s-bonds that can be involved in hyperconjugation. Hence (CH3)3C+ is more stable than CH3CH2+
The effect is not limited to C-H s-bonds, appropriate C-C s-bonds can also be involved in hyperconjugation.

the bond order calculated by the formula will always give you the correct answer.
but as for the magnetic nature...90% will be correct....
their are some exceptions like B2
both are paramagnetic

SECONDARY FORCES:
These forces decide the physical properties of the molecule like boiling point, meltiing point, refractive index, viscoscity and solubility
1. HYDROGEN BOND:
it is a type of dipole dipole interaction...
it is only shown by N, O , F
to learn it...
hydrogen ne FON (phone) lagaya to H-bonding hui.
NOTE: boiling point of water is greater than HF and NH3 exceptionally.
Q. Enthalpy of vapourization of H2O is greater than HF. WHY?
A. water evaporates as a monomer so we have to break all the H bonds but HF evaporates in the form of a dimer so we have to break less bonds.
(draw the diagram...it'll be clear to you at once)
2.INTRA MOLECULAR HYDROGEN BOND:
It is the hydrogen bond formed within the molecule:
example o-nitrophenol
meta and para isomers don't form intermolecular H-bond.
APPLICATIONS:
1. Boiling Point inter molecular H-bond
1/ intramolecular H bond Solubility
3. VISCOSCITY No. of H bonds Molecular weight
4. ACIDIC NATURE less H-bonds
Q.Paranitrophenol is more acidic than orthonitrophenol?
A. in orthonitrophenol due to intramolecular H-bonding a strong cyclic ring caleed as chelate is formd which provides extra stability to the molecule.
To phir khud hi soch lo wo apna H kyun dega.
kyunki agar usne H de diya to chelate ring toot jayegi.
1st disassociation of maleic acid is grtr dn fumaric acid because it acquires stability due to the chelate formation but the 2nd disassociation of maleic acid is less dn the fumaric acid
ALCOHOLS ARE SOLUBLE IN WATER DUE TO H-BOND.
