Chem Take out “Electron Address” to be stamped if you did not get it stamped last class Take out a Periodic Table (you’ll need one for today) Unit 7 Quiz/Quest this Fri 3/2! Waves, Energy, Electrons

Aufbau Principle Under normal conditions, each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available. http://www.iun.edu/~cpanhd/C101webnotes/modern-atomic-theory/aufbau-principle.html

Pauli Exclusion Principle Every electron spins; it can spin in one of two directions. An arrow pointing up (↑) indicates one direction. An arrow pointing down (↓) indicates the other direction. The Pauli exclusion principle states that a maximum of two electrons can occupy an orbital space, but only if they have opposing spins. OR RIGHT WRONG

Hund’s Rule WRONG RIGHT To minimize repulsion between electrons, Hund’s rule says that we put one electron in each orbital of the same energy before we add the second. p subshell WRONG RIGHT Room mate rule

Electron Configuration Fill out the long form electron configuration first. We will do the Noble Gas Abbreviation and Valence Electron part after.

Valence Electrons The electrons in the outermost shell or highest energy level Valence electrons = total number of electrons in the highest s and p orbitals (must be of the same energy level)!

Noble Gases: Group 18 Have octet=full valence (outermost) shell All elements want to be a noble gas (so freaking bad). In other words, all elements want to have a full valence shell Remember: “8 IS GREAT!” Exception: helium: it only has 2 valence electrons

Electron Configurations can get very long! Abbreviated Electron Configuration for Be: Find the closest noble gas that comes before it [He] eliminates the need to write “1s2” [He] 2s2 2 valence electrons

[Ne] eliminates the need to write “1s22s22p6” Abbreviated Electron Configuration for Na: Find the closest noble gas that comes before it [Ne] eliminates the need to write “1s22s22p6” [Ne] 3s1 1 valence electron

Obtaining a Noble Gas Electron Configuration Elements can lose or gain electrons in order to get a noble gas’ electron configuration Metals tend to lose electrons to obtain a noble gas electron configuration Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to obtain a noble gas electron configuratoin
