Electron Configuration Methods for expressing electron locations: 1.Configuration 2.Orbital Notation
Electron Configuration
Practice 1.What element has the noble-gas notation [Xe]6s 2 ? 2. What is the configuration for Bismuth? Barium
Orbital Notation Another method of visually depicting locations of electrons and their spin in orbits Atomic Orbital – like an electron parking spot Uses Boxes and Arrows
Orbital Notation Rules 1.e- occupy orbitals of lowest energy first Aufbau Principle 2. orbitals hold two electrons with opposite spin Pauli’s Exclusion 3. Loners First, Partners Second Hund’s Rule
ORBITAL NOTATION We can also use diagrams with arrows to show electrons and their spin in a diagram called orbital notation. Each block represents an orbital (like an electron parking spot). 1 atom of Li # of P + = 3 # of e- = 3
1 atom of F # of P + = 9 # of e- = 9 LONERS FIRST PARTNERS SECOND OPPOSITE SPIN OCCUPY LOWEST ENERGY FIRST BEFORE MOVING TO HIGHER ENERGY LEVEL
ORBITAL NOTATION YOU TRY SULFUR!
