Number 2, B. Number 3, D. Number 4, C. Number 5, B. Let's get to know the subatomic particles. first in order for us to really get a good grasp of the lesson. And with that, let me tell you a short story. Once upon a time, there lived three subatomic particles, namely electron, proton, and neutron. Proton and neutron lived in the nucleus of the atom while electron wandered around it through an electron orbit, sometimes near, sometimes far. and sometimes out of reach. Proton is nice but shy and of controlling attitude because of its optimistic view. Neutron with a neutral attitude doesn't care about anything and just stay in the nucleus with Proton, while Electron is the most energetic and the most stubborn especially if it's far from the nucleus with an innate pessimistic outlook. Electron might be wild and full of energy. Let me tell you a little secret. It lights up as it loses its energy while it approaches the nucleus and slowly behaves as a tame subatomic particle, all because it gets attracted to protons. Did you like this story? It is actually the summary of how Niels Bohr described his atomic model using the hydrogen atom. Trivia Do you wonder how a battery is able to light up a bulb? Notice a battery has positive and a negative terminals. Remember, electron is attracted to proton. That's why electron, a negatively charged particle, travels from one end of the battery and flows through a conductor because the other end of the terminal is attached to a proton-rich material. Electron carries energy. That is why. Whenever it gets passed through a device, a bulb for example, the energy gets converted to light. Its energy is consumed without it being able to reach the other end of the terminal. The light would turn off if they did touch the other end from the positive terminal that hinders it from flowing which is being controlled by a switch. That was actually your lesson in grade 8. As you notice, of all the three subatomic particles, electron is the most active, especially if it dwells away from proton. Therefore, electrons'location inside the atom is very important in determining how reactive an element is. Electrons that dwell in the outermost shell of an atom is called valence electrons. Valence electrons are the most active electrons given that their location is the farthest from the nucleus where the protons are located. They tend to be the most unstable ones with the highest energy levels. And to tame it down, it had to look for a pair to be stable. That's why elements react and form substances. That's how they attain stability. and react with other elements. Therefore, electrons play a great role in the behavior of the elements. Let's deepen your understanding about the behavior of subatomic particles in relation to how atoms of elements behave. You will be needing the help of the periodic table of elements in understanding the lesson further. Let us use the elements under Group 1a to further understand Bohr's atomic model. That's lithium, sodium, potassium, and rubidium. The atomic number of an element represents the number of the electrons inside an atom. The period number determines the number of orbits within the atom. The group number tells us how many valence electrons are found in the outermost shell or the valence shell. Let's compare the valence electrons'energy level of the elements under group 1A. Lithium has only three electrons. It's under period 2. So these electrons are accommodated in its two orbits. It is in group 1A, so that lone valence electron in the outer shell is the one responsible for bonding in lithium atoms. Looking at the atomic model of the rest of the elements, you can obviously tell which element is the most reactive. Just look for an element with the farthest valence electron from the nucleus. Can you tell which one? Yes, you are right. Rubidium. A flame test can attest on elements'energy levels. Check this out. Lithium glows red while sodium glows yellow. Potassium with violet and rubidium glows violet to white flame. If you check the color temperature charts, you can tell that lithium has the lowest energy level. while rubidium is the strongest one. Why do scientists in dire search for electrons'location inside the atom? Take this comparison of an object on top of the table. Nothing would happen to it if there is no energy or force applied. According to the Newton's first law of motion, inertia, it will stay on top of the table forever. unless a force is applied. Subatomic particles are in everything around you, whether you see it or not. And of the three subatomic particles, electron bears the energy. Therefore, it is the one that makes the difference. Niels Bohr's atomic theory is so useful in describing the behavior of the subatomic particles that opens up several scientific researches about the behavior of atoms. Later on, scientists found out that Bohr's atomic model is only limited to atoms with fewer number of electrons. This opens up scientific debate. One of those is Louis de Broglie's Uncertainty Principle. Erwin Schrödinger improved de Broglie's idea and paved the way for dealing subatomic particles known as quantum mechanics or wave mechanics that made him to describe the atom using his model named the quantum mechanical model and his discovery that atoms behave both as a particle and a wave. Trivia! Knowing this concept of submicroscopic world of atom helped researchers and doctors understand about tumors and drugs. Modern technology has led its way in developing devices using ultrasound waves. When an address says San Juan Road, Barangay San Miguel, Puerto Princesa City, Philippines, it means that the location is along San Juan Road, under Barangay San Miguel, and in the city of Puerto Princesa in the country Philippines. Locating electrons'address inside the atom pretty much works the same. You just have to consider the following terms. The principal quantum number. The shell that indicates the size of the subshell and the energy level. The bigger its value, the higher the energy level. The azimuthal or angular quantum number. It defines the shape of the orbitals or region, also named a subshell. The value of L is designated as S, P, D, F, and so on, for sharp, principal, diffused, and fundamental, respectively. The magnetic quantum number. This quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals in space. The spin quantum number. George Ahlenbeck and Samuel Goldsmith proposed that an electron spins in the axis as the earth spins in its axis. There are two possibilities for electron spins. A value of positive one-half which is spinning counterclockwise or negative one-half which is spinning clockwise. The spins are said to be paired. A spinning electron generates a magnetic field, but a pair of electrons with opposing spins has no magnetic field, which explains why atoms with unpaired valence electrons are more reactive than those that satisfy the octet rule, which are stable electrons. Let us further understand those terminology by using an analogy. for you to simply understand electron configuration or basically the process of scientists to use in locating probable electrons inside the atom. My name is Quanta. I own a big apartment building. It is a seven-story building. and it's designed that it can be extended to several levels if there's a need for more spaces. It has four types of rooms. The S room, the P room, the D room, the F room. The S room is the smallest among the four. It has only one bunk bed. The P room is a little bigger. It has three bunk beds, and can be arranged in three ways. The D room has five bunk beds and that can be arranged in five ways. The biggest room is the F room. It has seven unique bunk beds that are arranged in seven different ways. Big rooms are only available on higher levels. Each type of room gets a unit bigger every level. During this COVID-19 pandemic, I would like to open it. as a quarantine facility to cater stranded Filipinos. But I have three major accommodation rules that everyone strictly needs to follow. First, follow the OCBO principle. I have arranged the room accommodations in a certain pattern, with rooms in the lower levels and up, starting from the smallest to biggest room. Just follow the pattern below. Second, the Poly Exclusion Principle. There are bunk beds in every room. Each of the bunk beds can accommodate only at most two persons, one on the lower deck and one on the upper deck. And lastly, the Hunt's Rule. If the very first person uses the lower deck, all of the succeeding rooms will have to follow the pattern. Occupy all the available lower decks first, before occupying the upper deck. On the other hand, if the very first person chooses the upper deck, then follow the pattern to occupy all the vacant upper decks before occupying the lower deck. Room B has three bunk beds. If person number one chooses to occupy the upper deck, then person number two has to use the upper deck of bunk bed two. Person number three shall occupy the upper deck of bunk bed three. and then persons number 5, 6, and 7 can then occupy the remaining three lower decks of room P, respectively, then proceed to another room following the same guidelines. That's true. I am very keen in catering people to be quarantined because of the dangers this pandemic brings. My quarantine protocol is to accept people one batch at a time regardless of the quantity. The rules given above is organized in order to easily track a person if ever someone contracts the virus. You are given 5 seconds to answer each guide question. Let's check what you have learned from the passage. Number 1 What does Qantas building characterize? The Boris atomic model. The quantum mechanical model of atom. Number 2. What does each story or floor level represent in the quantum mechanical model? Principal quantum number? azimuthal quantum number, spin quantum number, magnetic quantum number. Number 3. What do the rooms represent with respect to the atomic model? Principal quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, spin quantum number, magnetic quantum number. 4. What about the bath beds? Principal quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, spin quantum number, and magnetic quantum number. 5. What do the upper and lower decks imply in the model? Left and right electron spin, positive half and negative half spin. Number 6. What do the arrangement of the bond pads signify? Principal quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, spin quantum number, magnetic quantum number. Now there are already botches lining up in the quarantine facility. Fluorine cooled and they will be the first botch to utilize my building. Number 7. How many electrons does fluorine have? Refer to the modern periodic table. 18, 15, 9, and 6. Number 8. Identify the exact location as to where the last electron would occupy. 3P6, 3P3, 2P2, 2P5. The quarantine facility analogy made it easier for you to understand electron configuration. Let's have one more practice to see if you really had grasped the idea of finding the probable location of electrons inside the atom. Predict the electrons location or the electron configuration of some elements. Please scan the QR code flashed on your screen for the resources you will be needing in this episode. The figure below is a table showing the electron configuration of the element sodium. Let E1 be electron 1 or first electron. Let E2 be electron 2. the electron 2 or second electron, and so on. The electron configuration of sodium is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1. Write the electron configuration of the element aluminum. Please use the table flashed on your screen with the same format to show the Hans rule. You have 1 minute and 30 seconds to answer this activity. Let's check your answers. If we take a look at the periodic table, aluminum's atomic number is 13. Therefore, there should be 13 electrons to locate. According to the off-bulk principle, electrons start filling the orbitals from lowest to highest, starting with 1s1. As the lowest level, each orbital carries two electrons according to the Pauli exclusion principle. And lastly, the Hans rule. The two electrons in an orbital has two opposite spins. If an orbital contains two or more subshells, the electrons of the same spin has to fill in the orbital first, followed by the ones of the opposite spins. So for aluminum, electron 1 on E1. Electron 2 on E2, then move to the next energy level, 2s2. Electron 3 on E3, and electron 4 on E4. Now entering 2p6, with 3 subshells, a larger orbital. Let's follow the Hans rule. Electrons 5, 6, 7 has to enter first, followed by the 3 succeeding opposites. Electrons 8, 9, and 10. Three more electrons to fill. Let's enter 3s2 orbital with only one subshell. Electron 11 and 12 are catered since we have one more electron left to be catered inside 3p6 orbital. In this case, it will only occupy up to 3p1. Let's copy all the orbitals occupied by the 13 electrons of aluminum. We have 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p1. Trivia! Sodium belongs to group 1A. That means, of all its 11 electrons, that single valence electron located in 3s1 is the one responsible for bonding with a chlorine ion to make up a compound named sodium chloride, or commonly known as sodium chloride. as table salt. It is such a complicated process, but it makes really good sense because by learning this topic, we can somehow understand why certain things behave the way it should. Want more? Let's have it as your assignment. But first, let's summarize the important points in this lesson. Of all the three subatomic particles, electron is the one that made a difference in every atomic behavior. As the electron gets nearer to the nucleus, it reduces its energy. Electrons that are found in the outer orbits of the atom are called the valence electrons. Of all the electrons inside an atom, they're considered to be the farthest from the nucleus, therefore considered to be the strongest. The above knowledge is explained in the Bohr's atomic theory. According to Louis de Broglie, electrons possess a wave property. They vibrate and move constantly. That is why we cannot use the board's atomic theory in describing atoms with higher number of electrons. This is described by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle that leads to the development of a new atomic model, the quantum mechanical model. In the quantum mechanical model of atoms, there are four quantum numbers that best describe atoms. the specific location of the electrons inside the atom. The principal quantum number indicates the size of the subshell and the energy level. The azimuthal quantum number, on the other hand, determines the shape of the orbital, region, or subshell. The magnetic quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals in space. There are three rules to follow in determining the electron configuration of an atom. The Afba Principle, the Pauli Exclusion Principle, and the Hans Rule. The Afba Principle states that an orbit caters to utmost electron, while the Pauli Exclusion Principle states that those electrons have also two different spins. And the last one, the Hans Rule, it states that if the very first electron of an element occupies the positive spin, all of the electrons has to orbit in the opposite direction. occupy the same type of spin before filling up the opposite spin in every energy level. Example, 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, etc. where the exponents signifies the number of electrons in that orbital. Directions. Listen and analyze the following questions and select the letter of the best answer.
