4.6 Electromagnetic Radiation

We experience electromagnetic radiation in different forms,


such as light, the colors of a rainbow, or X-rays.

Electromagnetic radiation consists of energy particles that


move as waves of energy.
• The distance between the peaks of waves is called the
wavelength.
• High-energy radiation has shorter wavelengths.
• Low-energy radiation has longer wavelengths.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Electromagnetic Spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum shows the arrangement of


wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, with the visible range
from 700 to 400 nm.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Atomic Spectrum

When light from a heated element passes through a prism,


it separates into distinct lines of color separated by dark
areas called an atomic spectrum.
Each element has its own unique atomic spectrum.

In an atomic spectrum, light from a heated element separates into distinct lines.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Electron Energy Levels

The lines in an atomic spectrum are associated with the


changes in energies of the electrons.
In an atom, each electron has a specific energy, known as
its energy level, which
• is assigned principal quantum numbers (n) = (n = 1,
n = 2, …).
• increases in energy as the value of n increases and
electrons are farther away from the nucleus.
The energy of an electron is quantized—electrons can have
only specific energy values.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Electrons and Energy Levels

• Electrons with the same


energy are grouped in the
same energy level.
• Energy levels are assigned
values called principal
quantum numbers (n),
(n = 1, n = 2, …).

An electron can have only the


energy of one of the energy levels
in an atom.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Changes in Electron Energy Level

• Electrons move to a
higher energy level
when they absorb
energy.
• When electrons fall
back to a lower energy
level, light is emitted.
• The energy emitted or
absorbed is equal to the
differences between the
two energy levels.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Sublevels

It is the arrangement of electrons that determines the


physical and chemical properties of an element.
• Each energy level consists of one or more sublevels.
• The number of sublevels in an energy level is equal to
the principal quantum number n of that energy level.
• The sublevels are identified as s, p, d, and f.
• The order of sublevels in an energy level is
s<p<d<f
Lowest Highest
energy energy

s Orbitals

The location of an electron is


described in terms of probability.
• Orbitals are a three-
dimensional volume in which
electrons have the highest
probability of being found.
• The s orbitals are shown as
spheres.
(a) The electron cloud of an s orbital
represents the highest probability of
finding an s electron. (b) The s orbitals
are shown as spheres. The sizes of the
s orbitals increase because they contain
electrons at higher energy levels.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
p Orbitals

There are three p orbitals, starting with n = 2.


• Each p orbital has two lobes, like a balloon tied in
the middle, and can hold a maximum of two
electrons.
• The three p orbitals are arranged perpendicular
to each other along the x, y, and z axes around
the nucleus.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
p Orbitals

A p orbital has two regions of high probability, which gives a “dumbbell” shape. (a)
Each p orbital is aligned along a different axis from the other p orbitals. (b) All three p
orbitals are shown around the nucleus.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
d Orbitals

The d sublevels contain five d orbitals.

Four of the five d


orbitals consist of four
lobes that are aligned
along or between
different axes. One d
orbital consists of two
lobes and a doughnut-
shaped ring around its
center.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Orbital Capacity and Electron Spin

The Pauli exclusion principle states that


• each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
• electrons in the same orbital repel each other.
• electrons in the same orbital must have their magnetic
spins cancel (they must spin in opposite directions).
We can represent magnetic spins with an arrow

An orbital can hold up to


two electrons with
opposite spins.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Number of Electrons in Sublevels

There is a maximum number of electrons that can fill each


sublevel.
• Each s sublevel has one orbital and can hold a maximum
of two electrons.
• Each p sublevel has three orbitals and can hold a
maximum of six electrons.
• Each d sublevel has five orbitals and can hold a
maximum of 10 electrons.
• Each f sublevel has 7 orbitals and can hold a maximum
of 14 electrons.

sublevels on the periodic table.

Learning Goal: Draw the orbital diagram and write the


electron configuration for an element.
Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Orbital Diagrams

Orbital diagrams use boxes to show how electrons


• are arranged in the orbitals of an atom.
• fill the orbitals and energy levels from lowest to highest
energy level.
• fill orbitals within the same sublevel one at a time, before
pairing the electrons.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Electron Configurations

Chemists use a notation called electron configuration to


• indicate the placement of electrons in an atom.
• show how electrons fill energy levels and sublevels in order of
increasing energy.
• write an abbreviated form using a noble gas to represent all
electrons preceding it.

Electron Configurations and the Periodic
Table
The electron configurations of elements are related to their
positions on the periodic table. Different sections or blocks
correspond to sublevels s, p, d, and f.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Blocks on the Periodic Table

1. The s block contains elements in Groups 1A (1) and 2A


(2). This means the final one or two electrons are in the
s sublevel.

2. The p block consists of elements in Group 3A (13) to


Group 8A (18). There are six p block elements in each
period, because three p orbitals can hold a maximum of
six electrons.

3. The d block, which contains transition elements, first


appears after calcium (atomic number 20). There are
10 elements in the d block, because five d orbitals can
hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Blocks on the
Periodic Table
4. The f block, the inner transition elements, is the two rows
of elements at the bottom of the periodic table. There are
14 elements in each f block, because seven f orbitals
can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Electron Configurations: Period 4 and
Above
Beginning in Period 4,
• the 4s sublevel fills before the 3d sublevel, because the
3d sublevel is slightly higher in energy than the 4s
sublevel.
• the 5s sublevel fills before the 4d sublevel.
• the 6s sublevel fills before the 5d sublevel.

sublevel adds stability with a half-filled d subshell, and the resulting
configuration is 4s13d5.

• For copper (Cu), moving one of the 4s electrons to the 3d sublevel


adds stability with a filled d subshell, and the resulting configuration
is 4s13d10.

Atomic size
• is determined by the atom’s atomic radius, the distance
between the nucleus and the outermost electrons.
• increases for representative elements from top to bottom
of the periodic table.
• decreases within a period as a result of increased
number of protons in the nucleus.

Lewis Structures, Molecules

A molecule is represented by a Lewis structure in which the


valence electrons of all the atoms are arranged to give
octets.
• The shared electrons, or bonding pairs, are shown as
two dots or a single line between atoms.
• The nonbonding pairs, or lone pairs, are placed on the
outside of the atoms.

Lewis Structures, Molecules

A molecule is represented by a Lewis structure in which the


valence electrons of all the atoms are arranged to give octets.
To draw the electron-dot formula for a fluorine molecule, F 2,
• we start with the electron-dot symbols for each fluorine atom.
• each fluorine atom shares one electron to form a covalent
bond, giving each fluorine an octet.

Sharing Electrons Between
Atoms of Different Elements
The number of electrons a nonmetal atom shares and the
number of covalent bonds it forms are usually equal to the
number of electrons it needs to achieve a stable electron
configuration.

Drawing Lewis Structures

To draw the electron-dot formula for methane,


CH4,
• draw the Lewis symbols for carbon and
hydrogen.

• carbon needs four hydrogen atoms to have


an octet.
• two bonding electrons between carbon and
hydrogen can be drawn as a line.
• the central atom is the atom in the formula
with the least number of atoms.

Double and Triple Bonds

A double bond
• occurs when atoms share two
pairs of electrons.
• forms when there are not enough
electrons to complete octets.
A triple bond
• occurs when atoms share three
pairs of electrons.
• forms when there are not enough
electrons to complete octets.

Exceptions to the Octet Rule

While the octet rule is useful, there


are exceptions.
• Hydrogen requires just two
electrons to form a noble gas
arrangement.
• Nonmetals P, S, Cl, Br, and I
can form compounds with 10 or
12 valence electrons.
• The S atom has an octet in
many compounds, but in SF6,
there are 12 valence electrons
or 6 bonds to the sulfur atom.

6.7 Electronegativity and Bond Polarity

The electronegativity
values of representative
elements in Group 1A (1)
to Group 7A (17).

Learning Goal: Use


electronegativity to
determine the polarity of a
bond.

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Electronegativity

The electronegativity of an atom is its ability to attract the


shared electrons in a chemical bond. It
• increases from left to right going across a period on the
periodic table.
• decreases going down a group on the periodic table.
• is high for the nonmetals, with fluorine as the highest.
• is low for the metals.

Polarity of Bonds

The difference in
electronegativity of
bonding atoms can be
used to predict the
polarity of the bond.

In the H2 molecule,
electrons are shared
equally and the bond is
nonpolar. In the HCl
molecule, electrons are
shared unequally, and
the bond is polar.

Nonpolar Covalent Bonds
A nonpolar covalent bond occurs between nonmetals. It
• is an equal or almost equal sharing of electrons by the two
bonding atoms.
• has a very small electronegativity difference between atoms
(between 0.0 and 0.4).
Examples
Electronegativity
Atoms Difference Type of Bond
N-N 3.0 − 3.0 = 0.0 Nonpolar covalent
Cl-Br 3.0 − 2.8 = 0.2 Nonpolar covalent
H-Si 2.1 − 1.8 = 0.3 Nonpolar covalent

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Polar Covalent Bonds

A polar covalent bond occurs between nonmetal atoms. It


• is an unequal sharing of electrons.
• has a moderate electronegativity difference (from 0.5 to 1.8).
Examples
Electronegativity
Atoms Difference Type of Bond
O-Cl 3.5 − 3.0 = 0.5Polar covalent
Cl-C 3.0 − 2.5 = 0.5Polar covalent
O-S 3.5 − 2.5 = 1.0Polar covalent

Copyright © 2019, 2015, 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Dipoles and Bond Polarity

A polar covalent bond becomes more polar as the difference in


electronegativity increases. The separation of charges in a polar
bond is called a dipole.
The positive and negative ends of the dipole are located by using
• the lowercase Greek letter delta with a positive or a negative
charge.
• an arrow that points from the positive to the negative end of
the dipole.

Ionic Bonds

An ionic bond
• occurs between metal and nonmetal ions.
• is a result of electron transfer.
• has a large electronegativity difference (greater than 1.8).
Examples
Electronegativity
Atoms Difference Type of Bond
Cl-K 3.0 – 0.8 = 2.2 Ionic
N-Na 3.0 – 0.9 = 2.1 Ionic

Summary: Variations in Bonding

The difference in electronegativity values for two atoms


can be used to predict the type of chemical bond. If the
electronegativity difference is
• between 0 and 0.4, the bond is nonpolar covalent.
• between 0.5 and 1.8, the bond is polar covalent.
• greater than 1.8, the bond is ionic and the electrons are
considered transferred.
• between 1.8 and 2.0, can be either polar covalent or
ionic. It depends on the elements involved in the bond:
metal: non-metal – ionic; 2 non-metals- covalent
