Electron Configuration
Time line of atomic model
Quantum Mechanical Model Devised using math: Schrodinger equation Determines the allowed energies an electron can have Energy is released at specific amounts Allows one to predict where an e- is most likely found. These areas are described by their energy level and orbital.
Quantum Mechanical model - Energy levels are like rungs of a weird ladder
Orbitals: region of space where an e- is Like a room in a house Weird shapes
Rules of Electron Configuration (where the e- is) Aufbau Principle: fill lowest energy first Pauli Exclusion Principle: 2 e-/orbital. e- have opposite spins. Hund’s Rule: For orbitals with equal energy: e- go into each orbital and then start doubling up.
