Models of the
Atom
Bohr’s model…
• Electrons are found in specific
circular paths (orbits) around the
nucleus.
• The electrons have fixed energies
called energy levels. (like rungs on a
ladder)
• The amount of energy required to
move an electron to another energy
level is called a quantum.
The Quantum Mechanical model
• It is based on the energy and possible
location of an electron.
• how likely it is to find an electron is
described in terms of probability. (ie.
Propeller blades)
• Based on work done by Shrodinger…
Atomic Orbitals
• The energy levels of electrons are labeled
by principal quantum numbers (n)
• Each energy sublevel corresponds to an
orbital of a different shape, which describes
where the electron is likely to be found.

(s, p, d, f )
We must follow 3 rules…
• Aufbau priciple
• Electrons occupy energy levels with lowest
energy first.
Pauli exclusion principle
• If 2 electrons occupy the same energy level
they must have opposite spins.
Hund’s rule…
• Electrons that occupy orbitals of the same
energy will have the maximum number of
electrons with the same spin.
• 2p
To start we will use orbital filling
diagrams to help us with electron
configurations….
• Example
Boron- has 5 electrons
