  • Structure and Bonding Electron Configurations in the Periodic Table
    Structure and Bonding The study of organic chemistry must at some point extend to the molecular level, for the physical and chemical properties of a substance are ultimately explained in terms of the structure and bonding of molecules. This module introduces some basic facts and principles that are needed for a discussion of organic molecules. Electronic Configurations Electron Configurations in the Periodic Table 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A 6A 7A 8A 1 2 H He 1 2 1s 1s 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Li Be B C N O F Ne 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1s 1s 1s 1s 1s 1s 1s 1s 2s1 2s2 2s22p1 2s22p2 2s22p3 2s22p4 2s22p5 2s22p6 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar [Ne] [Ne] [Ne] [Ne] [Ne] [Ne] [Ne] [Ne] 3s1 3s2 3s23p1 3s23p2 3s23p3 3s23p4 3s23p5 3s23p6 Four elements, hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen, are the major components of most organic compounds. Consequently, our understanding of organic chemistry must have, as a foundation, an appreciation of the electronic structure and properties of these elements. The truncated periodic table shown above provides the orbital electronic structure for the first eighteen elements (hydrogen through argon). According to the Aufbau principle, the electrons of an atom occupy quantum levels or orbitals starting from the lowest energy level, and proceeding to the highest, with each orbital holding a maximum of two paired electrons (opposite spins). Electron shell #1 has the lowest energy and its s-orbital is the first to be filled.

  • VSEPR Theory
    VSEPR Theory The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model is often used in chemistry to predict the three dimensional arrangement, or the geometry, of molecules. This model predicts the shape of a molecule by taking into account the repulsion between electron pairs. This handout will discuss how to use the VSEPR model to predict electron and molecular geometry. Here are some definitions for terms that will be used throughout this handout: Electron Domain – The region in which electrons are most likely to be found (bonding and nonbonding). A lone pair, single, double, or triple bond represents one region of an electron domain. H2O has four domains: 2 single bonds and 2 nonbonding lone pairs. Electron Domain may also be referred to as the steric number. Nonbonding Pairs Bonding Pairs Electron domain geometry - The arrangement of electron domains surrounding the central atom of a molecule or ion. Molecular geometry - The arrangement of the atoms in a molecule (The nonbonding domains are not included in the description). Bond angles (BA) - The angle between two adjacent bonds in the same atom. The bond angles are affected by all electron domains, but they only describe the angle between bonding electrons. Lewis structure - A 2-dimensional drawing that shows the bonding of a molecule’s atoms as well as lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. Provided by VSEPR Theory The Academic Center for Excellence 1 April 2019 Octet Rule – Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to have a full outer shell consisting of 8 electrons. When drawing Lewis structures or molecules, each atom should have an octet.

  • ARC: an Open-Source Library for Calculating Properties of Alkali Rydberg Atoms
    ARC: An open-source library for calculating properties of alkali Rydberg atoms N. Šibalic´a,∗, J. D. Pritchardb, C. S. Adamsa, K. J. Weatherilla aJoint Quantum Center (JQC) Durham-Newcastle, Department of Physics, Durham University, South Road, Durham, DH1 3LE, United Kingdom bDepartment of Physics, SUPA, University of Strathclyde, 107 Rottenrow East, Glasgow, G4 0NG, United Kingdom Abstract We present an object-oriented Python library for computation of properties of highly-excited Rydberg states of alkali atoms. These include single-body effects such as dipole matrix elements, excited-state lifetimes (radiative and black-body limited) and Stark maps of atoms in external electric fields, as well as two-atom interaction potentials accounting for dipole and quadrupole coupling effects valid at both long and short range for arbitrary placement of the atomic dipoles. The package is cross-referenced to precise measurements of atomic energy levels and features extensive documentation to facilitate rapid upgrade or expansion by users. This library has direct application in the field of quantum information and quantum optics which exploit the strong Rydberg dipolar interactions for two-qubit gates, robust atom-light interfaces and simulating quantum many-body physics, as well as the field of metrology using Rydberg atoms as precise microwave electrometers.

  • Electron Configurations, Orbital Notation and Quantum Numbers
    5 Electron Configurations, Orbital Notation and Quantum Numbers Electron Configurations, Orbital Notation and Quantum Numbers Understanding Electron Arrangement and Oxidation States Chemical properties depend on the number and arrangement of electrons in an atom. Usually, only the valence or outermost electrons are involved in chemical reactions. The electron cloud is compartmentalized. We model this compartmentalization through the use of electron configurations and orbital notations. The compartmentalization is as follows, energy levels have sublevels which have orbitals within them. We can use an apartment building as an analogy. The atom is the building, the floors of the apartment building are the energy levels, the apartments on a given floor are the orbitals and electrons reside inside the orbitals. There are two governing rules to consider when assigning electron configurations and orbital notations. Along with these rules, you must remember electrons are lazy and they hate each other, they will fill the lowest energy states first AND electrons repel each other since like charges repel. Rule 1: The Pauli Exclusion Principle In 1925, Wolfgang Pauli stated: No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. This means no atomic orbital can contain more than TWO electrons and the electrons must be of opposite spin if they are to form a pair within an orbital. Rule 2: Hunds Rule The most stable arrangement of electrons is one with the maximum number of unpaired electrons. It minimizes electron-electron repulsions and stabilizes the atom. Here is an analogy. In large families with several children, it is a luxury for each child to have their own room.

Th e two electrons lie on a line through the center of the cloud. The loss of one electron produces the He+1 ion, with the remaining electron at the center of the cloud. The loss of a second electron prod uces He+2 , in which there is just a cloud of positive charge. IM2657 Nanostr. Mater. & Self Assembly 6 Rutherford’s Experiment The notion that atoms consist of very small nuclei containing protons and neutrons surrounded by a much larger cloud of electrons was IM2657 Nanostr. Mater. & Self Assembly 7 developed from an α particle scattering experiment.

Molecules for which X is activating and Y deactivating all show an enhancement to the mean polarizability compared to the unsubstituted molecule, in accord with the order given above. A number of representative Ab Initio calculations at different levels of theory are discussed for azoarene; all subsequent Ab Initio polarizability calculations were done at the B3LYP/6-311G(2d,1p)//B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,1p) level of theory. We also consider semi-empirical polarizability and molecular volume calculations at the AM1 level of theory together with QSAR-quality empirical polarizability calculations using Miller’s scheme. Least-squares correlations between the various sets of results show that these less costly procedures are reliable predictors of <α> for the first series of molecules, but less reliable for the larger molecules.
