Schrodinger Wave Equation

In 1926 Schrodinger wrote an equation that


described both the particle and wave nature of the e-
Wave function (y) describes:
1. energy of e- with a given y
2. probability of finding e- in a volume of space
Schrodinger’s equation can only be
solved exactly for the hydrogen atom.
Must approximate its solution for
multi-electron systems.

Schrodinger Wave Equation
y is a function of four numbers called
quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms)
principal quantum number n
n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ….
distance of e- from the nucleus

n=1 n=2 n=3

quantum numbers: (n, l, ml, ms)

angular momentum quantum number l


for a given value of n, l = 0, 1, 2, 3, … n-1

l=0 s orbital
n = 1, l = 0
l=1 p orbital
n = 2, l = 0 or 1
l=2 d orbital
n = 3, l = 0, 1, or 2
l=3 f orbital
Shape of the “volume” of space that the e- occupies

Schrodinger Wave Equation

magnetic quantum number ml

for a given value of l


ml = -l, …., 0, …. +l

if l = 1 (p orbital), ml = -1, 0, or 1
if l = 2 (d orbital), ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2

List the values of n, ℓ, and mℓ for orbitals in the 4d subshell.


ml = -1, 0, or 1 3 orientations is space

ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2 5 orientations is space

Example 7.8

What is the total number of orbitals associated with the principal


quantum number n = 3?
Schrodinger Wave Equation
quantum numbers: (n, l, ml, ms)
Existence (and energy) of electron in atom is described
by its unique wave function y.
Pauli exclusion principle - no two electrons in an atom
can have the same four quantum numbers.

Each seat is uniquely identified (E, R12, S8).


Each seat can hold only one individual at a
time.

14
Schrodinger Wave Equation
quantum numbers: (n, l, ml, ms)

Shell – electrons with the same value of n

Subshell – electrons with the same values of n and l

Orbital – electrons with the same values of n, l, and ml

Energy of orbitals in a single electron atom
Energy only depends on principal quantum number n

16
Energy of orbitals in a multi-electron atom
Energy depends on n and l

n=3 l = 2

n=3 l = 1
n=3 l = 0

n=2 l = 1
n=2 l = 0

n=1 l = 0
17
“Fill up” electrons in lowest energy orbitals (Aufbau principle)

18
The most stable arrangement of electrons in
subshells is the one with the greatest number of
parallel spins (Hund’s rule).

19
Order of orbitals (filling) in multi-electron atom

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s
20
As protons are added one by one to the nucleus to
build up the elements, electrons are similarly added
to the atomic orbitals (Aufbau Principle).

– electrons occupy orbitals as to minimize the


energy of the atom

n+l RULE

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s
Example 7.9

Write the four quantum numbers for an electron in a 3p orbital.


Electron configuration is how the electrons are
distributed among the various atomic orbitals in an
atom.
