Because each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons, each shell is associated with a particular range of electron energy, and thus each shell must fill completely before electrons can be added to an outer shell. The electrons in the outermost shell determine the chemical properties of the atom (see Valence shell). For an explanation of why electrons exist in these shells see electron configuration.[1] Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Shells 3 Subshells 4 Number of electrons in each shell 5 Valence shells 6 List of elements with electrons per shell 7 See also 8 References [edit] History The shell terminology comes from Arnold Sommerfeld's modification of the Bohr model. Sommerfeld retained Bohr's planetary model, but added additional mildly elliptical orbits (characterized by additional quantum numbers l and m) to explain the fine spectroscopic structure of some elements.[2] The multiple electrons with the same principal quantum number (n) had close orbits that formed a "shell" of finite thickness instead of the infinitely thin circular orbit of Bohr's model. The existence of electron shells was first observed experimentally in Charles Barkla's and Henry Moseley's X-ray absorption studies. Barkla labeled them with the letters K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q. The origin of this terminology was alphabetic. A J series was also suspected, though later experiments indicated that the K absorption lines are produced by the innermost electrons. These letters were later found to correspond to the n -values 1, 2, 3, etc. They are used in the spectroscopic Siegbahn notation. The physical chemist Gilbert Lewis was responsible for much of the early development of the theory of the participation of valence shell electrons in chemical bonding. Linus Pauling later generalized and extended the theory while applying insights from quantum mechanics. [edit] Shells The electron shells are labelled K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q; or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7; going from innermost shell outwards. Electrons in outer shells have higher average energy and travel farther from the nucleus than those in inner shells. This makes them more important in determining how the atom reacts chemically and behaves as a conductor, because the pull of the atom's nucleus upon them is weaker and more easily broken. In this way, a given element's reactivity is highly dependent upon its electronic configuration. [edit] Subshells Each shell is composed of one or more subshells, which are themselves composed of atomic orbitals. For example, the first (K) shell has one subshell, called "1s"; the second (L) shell has two subshells, called "2s" and "2p"; the third shell has "3s", "3p", and "3d"; and so on.[1] The various possible subshells are shown in the following table: Subshell label ℓ Max electrons Shells containing it Historical name s 0 2 Every shell sharp p 1 6 2nd shell and higher principal d 2 10 3rd shell and higher diffuse f 3 14 4th shell and higher fundamental g 4 18 5th shell and higher The first column is the "subshell label", a lowercase-letter label for the type of subshell. For example, the "4s subshell" is a subshell of the fourth (N) shell, with the type ("s") described in the first row. The second column is the azimuthal quantum number of the subshell. The precise definition involves quantum mechanics, but it is a number that characterizes the subshell. The third column is the maximum number of electrons that can be put into a subshell of that type. For example, the top row says that each s-type subshell ("1s", "2s", etc.) can have at most two electrons in it. In each case the figure is 4 greater than the one above it. The fourth column says which shells have a subshell of that type. For example, looking at the top two rows, every shell has an s subshell, while only the second shell and higher have a p subshell (i.e., there is no "1p" subshell). The final column gives the historical origin of the labels s, p, d, and f. They come from early studies of atomic spectral lines. The other labels, namely g, h and i, are an alphabetic continuation following the last historically originated label of f. Although it is commonly stated that all the electrons in a shell have the same energy, this is an approximation. However, the electrons in a subshell do have exactly the same level of energy,[3] with later subshells having more energy per electron than earlier ones. This effect is great enough that the energy ranges associated with shells can overlap (see Valence shells and Aufbau Principle). s p d f g Total [edit] Number of electrons in each shell K 2 2 L 2 6 8 An atom's electron shells are filled according to the following theoretical M 2 6 10 18 constraints: N 2 6 10 14 32 Each s subshell holds at most 2 electrons O 2 6 10 14 18 50 Each p subshell holds at most 6 electrons Each d subshell holds at most 10 electrons Each f subshell holds at most 14 electrons Each g subshell holds at most 18 electrons Therefore, the K shell, which contains only an s subshell, can hold up to 2 electrons; the L shell, which contains an s and a p, can hold up to 2+6=8 electrons; and so forth. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2n2 electrons. Although that formula gives the maximum in principle, in fact that maximum can only be achieved (by known elements) for the first four shells (K,L,M,N). No known element has more than 32 electrons in any one shell.[4][5] This is because the subshells are filled according to the Aufbau principle. The first elements to have more than 32 electrons in one shell would belong to the g-block of period 8 of the periodic table. These elements would have some electrons in their 5g subshell and thus have more than 32 electrons in the O shell (fifth principal shell). [edit] Valence shells Main article: Valence electron The valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom. It is usually (and misleadingly) said that the electrons in this shell make up its valence electrons, that is, the electrons that determine how the atom behaves in chemical reactions. While atoms with complete valence shells (noble gases) are the most chemically non-reactive, those with only one electron in their valence shells (alkalis) or just missing one electron from having a complete shell (halogens) are the most reactive.[6] However, this is a simplification of the truth. The electrons that determine how an atom reacts chemically are those that travel farthest from the nucleus, that is, those with the most energy. As stated in Subshells, electrons in the inner subshells have less energy than those in outer subshells. This effect is great enough that the 3d electrons have more energy than 4s electrons, and are therefore more important in chemical reactions, hence making them valence electrons although they are not in the so-called valence shell.[7] [edit] List of elements with electrons per shell The list below gives the elements arranged by increasing atomic number and shows the number of electrons per shell. At a glance, one can see that subsets of the list show obvious patterns. In particular, the seven elements (in light blue) before a noble gas (group 18, in yellow) higher than helium have the number of electrons in the valence shell in arithmetic progression. Whether this extends to Ununseptium remains to be determined. Sorting the table by chemical group shows additional patterns, especially with respect to the last two outermost shells. (Elements 57 to 71 belong to the lanthanides, while 89 to 103 are the actinides.) It is also seen that palladium (atomic number 46) is unique, being the only known element such that there are elements with a smaller atomic number having more electron shells.

    Appendix A Main Attributes of Nuclides Presented in This Book Data given in TableA.1 can be used to determine the various decay energies for the specific radioactive decay examples as well as for the nuclear activation examples presented in this book. M stands for the nuclear rest mass; M stands for the atomic rest mass. The data were obtained from the NIST and are based on CODATA 2010 as follows: 1. Data for atomic masses M are given in atomic mass constants u and were obtained from the NIST at: (http://www.physics.nist.gov/pml/data/comp.cfm). 2. Rest mass of proton mp, neutron mn, electron me, and of the atomic mass constant u are from the NIST (http://www.physics.nist.gov/cuu/constants/index. html) as follows: −27 2 mp = 1.672 621 777×10 kg = 1.007 276 467 u = 938.272 046 MeV/c (A.1) −27 2 mn = 1.674 927 351×10 kg = 1.008 664 916 u = 939.565 379 MeV/c (A.2) −31 −4 2 me = 9.109 382 91×10 kg = 5.485 799 095×10 u = 0.510 998 928 MeV/c (A.3) − 1u= 1.660 538 922×10 27 kg = 931.494 060 MeV/c2 (A.4) 3. For a given nuclide, its nuclear rest energy was determined by subtracting the 2 rest energy of all atomic orbital electrons (Zmec ) from the atomic rest energy M(u)c2 as follows 2 2 2 Mc = M(u)c − Zmec = M(u) × 931.494 060 MeV/u − Z × 0.510 999 MeV.

  • Bohr Shell Model of the Atom
    Shell model of the atom Mr. Nderitu In 1922, Nobel prize winner Niels Bohr revised Rutherford's model by suggesting that • The electrons were confined into clearly defined orbits. • They could jump between these orbits, but could not freely spiral inward or outward in intermediate states. • An electron must absorb or emit specific amounts of energy for transition between these fixed orbits. Bohr extended the model of Hydrogen to give an approximate model for heavier atoms. This gave a physical picture which reproduced many known atomic properties for the first time. 1 Heavier atoms have more protons in the nucleus, and more electrons to cancel the charge. Bohr's idea was that each discrete orbit could only hold a certain number of electrons. After that orbit is full, the next level would have to be used. This gives the atom a shell structure , in which each shell corresponds to a Bohr orbit. This model is even more approximate than the model of hydrogen, because it treats the electrons in each shell as non-interacting. But the repulsions of electrons are taken into account somewhat by the phenomenon of screening . The electrons in outer orbits do not only orbit the nucleus, but they also orbit the inner electrons, so the effective charge Z that they feel is reduced by the number of the electrons in the inner orbit. For example, the lithium atom has two electrons in the lowest 1S orbit, and these 2 orbit at Z=2. Each one sees the nuclear charge of Z=3 minus the screening effect of the other, which crudely reduces the nuclear charge by 1 unit.

  • High Power Polarized Vs. Low Power Direct EDXRF
    Die approbierte Originalversion dieser Diplom-/ Masterarbeit ist in der Hauptbibliothek der Tech- nischen Universität Wien aufgestellt und zugänglich. http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at The approved original version of this diploma or master thesis is available at the main library of the Vienna University of Technology. http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at/eng Diplomarbeit High Power Polarized vs. Low Power Direct EDXRF ausgeführt am Atominstitut der Technischen Universität Wien Stadionallee 2 1020 Wien unter der Anleitung von ao. Univ.Prof.i.R. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Peter Wobrauschek durch Ing. Peter Allinger, BSc Lorettostraße 11 7053 Hornstein Wien, 9. Dezember 2015 Abstract The goal of this master thesis was to perform a direct comparison between modern and compact low power X-ray tubes and water cooled high power X-ray tubes with and without a secondary target. For future industrial applications a low power system would meet a great demand as a mobile and adaptable analysis system, if the achievable results can stand in competition to conventional and stationary high power facilities. For this reason such a low power system has been developed during one of my earlier project works. This facility consists of a AMPTEK Mini-X X-ray tube [1] with a maximum power of 4 watt in combination with a silicon drift detector (SDD) from KETEK [2] and is opposed by a water cooled SEIFERT 2.2 kilowatt high power tube with an optional secondary target made of molybdenum. Both tubes utilize a silver anode material. During this thesis several improvements to the control software and the set-up were conducted.
