Neils Bohr’s Model  

 

Quantum Mechanical Model  Louis De Broglie, 1923: electrons behave like waves and

like particles “wave-particle duality”  Erwin SchrÖdinger, 1926: the electrons are found in a cloud surrounding the nucleus…….where the cloud is most dense, that’s probably where the electrons are.  Werner Heisenberg- 1928: Is NOT possible to know the EXACT location and VELOCITY of an electron

Today’s electron cloud  There are 7 energy levels in the

electron cloud… these correspond with the 7 rows on the Periodic Table of elements  Within the energy levels there are

four sublevels: s,p,d, & f  Within the sublevels, there are

orbitals– Regions in the electron cloud where there is a 90% probability of finding an electron.

Electrons  Valence electrons – electrons in the last

energy level….. These are the electrons that are involved with bonding  Lewis dot diagrams-
