 Know Dalton’s postulates.
 Compare and contrast between scientists listed above.

Distinguish atoms based upon their number of subatomic particles.

Distinguish between isotopes.

Apply the average atomic mass equation to solve isotope problems.
Chapter 5:

Describe Bohr’s contribution to the atomic model and his ideas and his analogy on energy levels. o Understand why Bohr’s experiment failed for more than 1e- systems.

Be able to describe Schrödinger and Heisenberg’s contributions to the atomic model and how the quantum mechanical model came to be accepted. o Electron Cloud vs. Fixed Orbits

Quantum Numbers o Know the range for each of the 4 Quantum numbers. o Be able to analyze a quantum set for its validity.

Atomic Orbitals o Understand the concept of sublevels vs. atomic orbitals and their electron occupancies.

Electron Configurations o Identify and apply the three rules that govern electron filling patterns to form electron configurations. o Be able to provide an electron configuration for any element on the periodic table using multiple notations.
 Be able to draw the highest occupied sublevel

Wave Mechanics o Understand the relationship between: Wavelength, Frequency, and Energy
 Solve for any of the following variables mentioned above. o Be able to describe what differentiates types of electromagnetic radiation and be able to give a detailed description on why we see certain colors. o Relate wave mechanics to the principles of the Quantum Mechanical model of atoms and how we can use our understanding of how electrons behave as an analytical tool.
