Poly-electron atoms
§ Energy of electron depends on both n and l

Energies of orbitals
§ Poly-electronic atoms:
§ Same types of orbital are found as for H
§ Orbitals shrink due to increased nuclear charge (Z)
§ Energy of the same orbital is lower
(ex. 1s e- of Li is more tightly held than in H)
§ E = F(n,l)

Order of orbital energy
§ Orbital energy
§ H like atom: E depends on n
§ Others: E depends on n and l
Penetration effect
§ The more effectively an orbital allows its electron to
penetrate the shielding electrons, the lower is the energy of
that orbital.

Energy level splitting & overlap
§ E = F(n, l)
§ The energy difference between
n and n+1 levels becomes
smaller with higher n values.
§ The split in orbital energies
caused by l can be comparable
to that caused by n.

For heavier elements, the significant difference in size of


the s and p orbital leads to less efficient s-p hybridization
and weak bonding involving an s-p hybridized state.

Relativistic effects
§ As a particle moving at a speed close to the speed
of light, physical properties of the moving object
changed significantly.
– Contraction in length
– Slowing of time dependent process
– Increase in mass

§ In a heavy atom, electrons around the nucleus feel


stronger attraction force and move at a speed that is
close to the speed of light.

Relativistic effects
§ Major effects on atomic orbitals are
– The relativistic radial contraction and energetic
stabilization of the s and p shells (direct)
– Spin-orbit splitting for l > 0 electrons (p, d, f,…)
– The relativistic radial expansion and energetic
destabilization of the (outer) d and f shells (indirect)

§ All these effects are of the same order of


magnitude and grow roughly with Z2.
