1 Quantum Numbers and Writing Electron Configurations
Electrons in Atoms Quantum Numbers and Writing Electron Configurations

2 Quick Review - Nucleus Nucleus concentrated mass of p+ & n0
held together by the strong force Thomson & Rutherford’s experiments

3 Quick Review - Electrons
The Bohr Model of the Atom electrons orbiting the nucleus much like planets orbiting the sun - WRONG (electrons are more like bees around a hive) Electrons are in certain energy states

4 Quick Review - Electrons
Schrodinger – quantum mechanical model of the atom Atomic orbitals describe the electron’s probable location

5 Arrangement of Electrons
Quantum numbers Specify the “address” of each electron in an atom UPPER LEVEL

6 Quantum Numbers Principal Quantum Number ( n ) Principle Energy level
Size of the orbital

7 Quantum Numbers f d s p Energy sublevels Shape of the orbital
Principle energy level 1 has 1 sublevel, principle energy level 2 has 2 sublevels,… f d s p

8 Quantum Numbers Within each sublevel you have orbitals

9 Relative sizes of the spherical 1s, 2s, and 3s orbitals of hydrogen.

10 The three 2p orbitals.

11 The shapes and labels of the five 3d orbitals.

12 Quantum Numbers 2s 2px 2py 2pz
Orbitals combine to form a spherical shape. 2s 2pz 2py 2px

13 Quantum Numbers n = # of sublevels per level
n2 = # of orbitals per level

14 How principal levels can be divided into sublevels.

15 Principal level 2 shown divided into the 2s and 2p sublevels.

16 Energy Levels, Sublevels, Orbitals, Electrons
Sublevels in main energy level (n sublevels) Number of orbitals per sublevel Electrons per sublevel electrons per level (2n2) 1 s 2 p 3 6 8 d 5 10 18 4 f 7 14 32

17 Writing Electron Configuration
Electrons in Atoms Writing Electron Configuration

18 Electron Configurations
No two electrons in an atom can have the same 4 quantum numbers. Each e- has a unique “address”: energy level sublevel (s,p,d,f) orbital electron

19 General Rules Aufbau Principle
Electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first. “Lazy Tenant Rule”

20 Filling Orbitals

21 General Rules Pauli Exclusion Principle
Each orbital can hold TWO electrons with opposite spins.

22 General Rules WRONG RIGHT Hund’s Rule
Within a sublevel, place one e- per orbital before pairing them. “Empty Bus Seat Rule” WRONG RIGHT

23 Notation C 1s 2s 2p Orbital Diagrams a box for each orbital
An arrow for each electron Label each box with principle quantum number and sublevel Example: orbital diagram for a ground state carbon atom C 1s 2s 2p

29 Notation Practice Write the shorthand (noble gas) electron configuration for the following atoms: Sodium Selenium Na [Ne] 3s1 Se [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p4

30 Order of Filling Orbitals

31 Orbitals being filled for elements in various parts of the periodic table.
