Electron Configuration
Valence Electron This atom has 8 valence e- e- on the outermost orbit/energy level/ring This atom has 8 valence e-
Rules for Electron Configuration Hund Everyone get e- before 1 gets 2 Aufbau e- added to lowest Energy Level 1st one @ a time Pauli Max of 2 e-, spin opposite directions
Energy Levels This atom has three energy levels Most of the time = row number Known as: Orbit or the Ring Quantum Number = n This atom has three energy levels
Sub-level Blocks: s, p ,d, f Area or “Block” of the periodic table Represents electron cloud shape Quantum Number = l Blocks: s, p ,d, f
1 Start 2 3 4 5 6 7
Each Sub-level (Block) tells us the shape of the electron cloud: Energy max # of e- present # shapes Shapes s Least 2 1 p 6 3 d 10 5 --------------------------------clover leaf---------------------------------- f Most 14 7 ----------------------------------Too complex-------------------------------
