Isotope Formulae & Electron Configurations …pretty lofty stuff
Isotope Formulae Provide element’s symbol Mass number Atomic number mass# = #p+ + #n written as a superscript to the left Atomic number atomic# = #p+ or #e- written as a subscript to the left
X C C Isotope Formulae Mass# Atomic# 12 6 13 6 Carbon has two naturally occurring isotopes: carbon-12 and carbon-13 C 12 6 C 13 6
Isotope Formulae Give the isotope formula for each of the following: H 3 1 1. Hydrogen with 2 neutrons F 18 9 2. Fluorine with 9 neutrons U 235 92 3. Uranium with 143 neutrons
Valence Electron(s) The electron(s) farthest from the nucleus or in the outermost energy level.
Aufbau Principle Comes from German word meaning “to build” Electrons will occupy lower energy orbitals first
Pauli Exclusion Principle An atomic orbital can hold at most two electrons. If an atomic orbital holds two electrons, they must have opposite spins.
Hund’s Rule When filling atomic orbitals of equal energy, place electrons with parallel spins in the orbitals first. Then, place the oppositely spinning electrons into the orbitals.
Electron Configurations Also describe where electrons live within an atom They give the energy level, atomic orbital, and number of electrons residing in the orbital and energy level.
Electron Configurations Energy level May be any positive integer Just like the principal quantum number
Electron Configurations Atomic Orbital or Sublevel Represented by letters: s, p, d, f Translates azimuthal number and magnetic number s is the same as l = 0 p is the same as l = 1 d is the same as l = 2 f is the same as l = 3
Electron Configurations Number of Electrons in either an atomic orbital or a sublevel max of 2 in the s sublevel max of 6 in the p sublevel max of 10 in the d sublevel max of 14 in the f sublevel
Electron Configurations Use the periodic table to guide you in writing electron configurations. Find the link between 2,6,10, and 14 and the periodic table.
Electron Configurations What is the electron configuration of hydrogen? energy level 1s1 # of electrons sublevel/orbital
Electron Configurations Write the e- configurations of the next 9 elements (through Ne). He… 1s2 Li… 1s22s1 Look at the sum of the superscripts… Be… 1s22s2 B… 1s22s22p1
Electron Configurations 1s22s22p2 N… 1s22s22p3 O… 1s22s22p4 F… 1s22s22p5 Ne… 1s22s22p6
Electron Configurations Shorthand configurations are written by assuming that you can let the symbol of the noble gas preceding the valence electrons represent the e- configuration to that point.
