Hog Hilton You are the manager of a prestigious new hotel in downtown Midland—the “Hog Hilton”. It’s just the “snort of the town” and you want to keep its reputation a cut above all the other hotels. Your problem is your clientele. They are hogs in the truest sense. Your major task is to fill rooms in your hotel. The Hog Hilton only has stairs. You must fill up your hotel keeping the following rules in mind: 1) Hogs are lazy, they don’t want to walk up stairs! 2) Hogs want to room by themselves, but they would rather room with another hog than walk up more stairs. 3) If hogs are in the same room they will face in opposite directions. 4) They stink, so you can’t put more than two hogs in each room.

Let’s play Hog Hilton!!
Now you will relate the “Hog Hilton” to electron orbitals. Electron orbitals are modeled by the picture on the left and are grouped into principal energy levels. 1. Compare their similarities and differences. 2. To go between floors on the Hog Hilton did the hogs need to use energy? Would electrons need to use the energy to go between orbitals? 3d ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ n=3 (4s ____) n=4 3p ___ ___ ___ n=3 3s ___ n=3 2p ___ ___ ___ n=2 2s ___ n=2 1s ___ n=1 6th floor ___ 5th floor ___ ___ ___ 4th floor ___ 3rd floor ___ ___ ___ 2nd floor ___ 1st floor ___
A. Rules for e - configurations Aufbau principle 1. Aufbau principle: electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first. ( Hogs are lazy, they don’t want to walk up stairs!)
A. Rules for e - configurations 2. Pauli Exclusion principle TWO 2. Pauli Exclusion principle: each orbital can hold TWO electrons with opposite spins (They stink, so you can’t put more than two hogs in each room. & If hogs are in the same room they will face in opposite directions.)
RIGHT WRONG A. Rules for e - configurations 3. Hund’s rule 3. Hund’s rule: within a sublevel, place one e - per orbital before pairing them. ( Hogs want to room by themselves, but they would rather room with another hog than walk up more stairs.)

II. Quantum Numbers UPPER LEVEL Four Quantum Numbers: –Specify the “address” of each electron in an atom
1. Principal Quantum Number ( n ) –Energy level –Size of the orbital –n 2 = # of orbitals in the energy level II. Quantum Numbers
s p d f 2. Angular Momentum Quantum # ( l ) –Energy sublevel –Shape of the orbital
II. Quantum Numbers n=# of sublevels per level n 2 =# of orbitals per level Sublevel sets: 1 s, 3 p, 5 d, 7 f Principal energy level (n) Number of sublevels Names of Sublevels 1 st energy level1 sublevel“s” (1 orbital) 2 nd 2 sublevels“s” (1) & “p” (3 orbitals) 3 rd 3 sublevels“s”(1), “p” (3) & “d” (5 orbitals) 4 th 4 sublevels“s”(1), “p”(3), “d”(5), and “f” (7)

II. Quantum Numbers pxpx pypy pzpz
4. Spin Quantum Number ( m s ) –Electron spin +½ or -½ –An orbital can hold 2 electrons that spin in opposite directions. +½-½

A. Oxidation States Valence electrons – the outer electrons in an atom that are involved in chemical bonding Octet Rule - when forming compounds atoms want to have 8 e - (s 2 p 6 ) like the noble gases (except He)
A. Oxidation States A “+” means lose electrons A “–” means gains electrons Determine the element’s behavior in the company of other elements Some elements only have one oxidation state, others have several The transition metals generally have several oxidation states
B. Justifying Oxidation States Metals lose e - to either minimize e - to e - repulsions or eliminative their valence e - entirely Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to acquire an octet of electrons –(8 valence e - arranged as ns 2 np 6 where n = principle energy level) –Noble gases have octet naturally Transition metals have oxidation state of +2 since they lose the s 2 that was filled just before the d- sublevel began filling 3d e- are similar in energy to 4s e - & 4d are similar to 5s, etc.
Example 1: Sulfur have many oxidation states. Use an orbital notation to justify its most common -2 oxidation state: Sulfur is a nonmetal and tends to gain e - creating the -2 charge. Gaining 2 e - gives it an octet of 3s 2 3p 6. B. Justifying Oxidation States 3s ___ 3p ___ ___ ___ ↑↓↑↓↑ ↑ [Ne]
Example 2: Copper has two common oxidation states, +2 and +1. Justify both oxidation states: Cu has an ending e - conf. of 4s 2 3d 9. Start by drawing its orbital notation of the outermost, valence electrons. Since Cu is a transition metal, the +2 oxidation state come from losing the 4s e - s leaving 4s 0 3d 9. The +1 oxidation state for Cu come from transferring one of the s e - s to the d orbitals to fill that sublevel and then losing the remaining s e- to form 4s 0 3d 10. B.
