1. Electron Energy Levels Notes
mass of an atom = the # of p+ and n in the nucleus.
size of an atom depends on the # and arrangement of e-.
Start here

2. Electron Energy Levels
Draw this
E = Energy level e- = electron

3. Electron Energy Levels
Each energy level can hold a limited # of electrons.
Level 1 -> 2 e-
Level 2 -> 8 e-
Level 3 -> 18 e-
Level 4 -> 32 e-
Level 5 -> 50 e-

4. Energy levels are broken up into sub-levels.
There are 4 sub-levels: s, p, d, and f

5. Electron Energy Levels
Each sub-level can hold a limited # of e-
s level can hold up to 2 e-
p level can hold up to 6 e-
d level can hold up to 10 e-
f level can hold up to 14 e-

6. Level 4: 4s = 2 e- 4p = 6 e- 4d = 10 e- 4f = 14 e-
= 2 e- total
= 8 e- total
= 18 e- total
= 32 e- total

9. Electron Energy Levels
Each sub-level can hold a certain # of electrons:
s level = 2 e-
p level = 6 e-
d level = 10 e-
f level = 14 e-
