What I Need to Know
Neils Bohr refined Rutherford`s model of the atom because light is given off by
vaporized atoms of different elements falls within the visible spectrum. The color,
number and position of lines identify an element. Each line corresponds to a definite
wavelength and energy. However, Bohr`s model was later replaced by Quantum
Mechanical model which was proposed by Erwin Schrodinger because it could not
explain the line spectra of other elements.

Schrodinger, Born
and other Scientist Sommerfeld Bohr Model
Model (1950’s to Model (1913)
present) (1916)
In Quantum Mechanical model of the atom, electrons are not limited at fixed
orbits around the nucleus. There is only a probability that the electrons can be found
at certain region of space around the nucleus called atomic orbitals. Thus, we can
only guess the most probable location of the electron at certain time to be within a
certain volume of space surrounding the nucleus.
Direction: Study/observe carefully the figure below; describe the probable location of
the electrons in the energy levels based from Quantum Mechanical Model. Answer
the guide questions briefly.
Guide Questions:
What Is It
The activity in the What’s New shows what the three physicists namely Louie de
Broglie, Erwin Schrodinger, and Werner Karl Heisenberg found out: it is not possible
to know the exact position of the electron. An electron could be found in various
locations around the nucleus. The darker the area, the greater is the probability of
finding the electron in that area.
.
5
The probability of finding an electron
within a certain volume of space
surrounding the nucleus can be
represented as a fuzzy cloud.
The cloud is more dense where the
probability of finding the electron is
high.
6
Atomic orbitals have
particular shapes and direction
in space.

7
Other types of orbitals with more
complex shapes are found for n>1 like
shapes of d and f orbitals. There are five
degenerate orbitals for d and seven for
f- orbital. Electrons are distributed in
these orbitals. A maximum of 2,6,10 and
14 electrons occupy the s,p,d, and f
atomic orbitals respectively.
What’s More
Activity 1: Describe me
1. If you cannot count the no. of electrons represented by the dots per energy
level, what will be your other basis for knowing the probable location of the
electrons?

nucleus?

What I have learned
1. The Quantum Mechanical model describes the electrons are not limited at fixed orbits around the
nucleus. There is only a probability that the electrons can be found at certain region of space
around the nucleus called atomic orbitals.
2. Erwin Schrodinger formulated a mathematical equation describing the behavior of electrons see as
fast spinning electron cloud having geometrical shape thus; its location cannot be exactly known
called uncertainty principle.
3. Each energy level consists of energy sublevels; and each sublevel consists of one or more atomic
orbitals.
4.Orbitals that have equal energies are called degenerate orbitals. The s orbital has only one, p has three,
d has five and f has seven degenerate orbitals
