How does the quantum mechanical model explain the current observations of the behavior of atoms?

1. Quantum mechanical model of the atom
2. Quantum numbers and shapes of orbitals
3. Electron configuration and orbital notation
4. The dual nature of light
5. Relationship between frequency and wavelength and energy.
6. Explanation of atomic emission spectra
7. Heisenberg's Uncertainity Principle

Students will develop the ability to:
1. Describe the energies and positions of electrons according to the quantum mechanical model
2. Match shapes of orbitals to sublevels
3. Write electron configurations and orbital notations for given atoms
4. Draw waves with different wavelengths, amplitudes, and frequencies
5. Solve c = lambda nu equation for either frequency or wavelength
6. Solve E = h nu formua for energy or frequency
7. Analyze emission spectra to identify elements and to determine how the frequency of emitted light relates to changes in electron energies
8. Relate the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to the quantum mechanical model of the atom

1. Illustration of atomic orbital stucture using styrofoam orbital models
2. Flame test lab
3. Analogy of emission spectra using the confetti demonstration
4. Practice writing electron configurations and orbital notations.
5. Diagram waves
6. Calculate frequencies and wavelengths
