1. STATES OF AN ATOM Ground state: when an atom is at its lowest energy level Excited state when at atom gains energy

2. Orbitals An orbital is a three dimensional region around the nucleus where probably an e - is found There are four type of orbitals : s, p, d, and f Every single orbital can fit 2 electrons max. OrbitalShapeNumber of orbitals sSphere1 pdumbbells3 d“flower”5 f“weird”7

3. Valence electrons: are the electrons in the last level of energy. WE ALREADY KNOW THIS? Do we?

4. Principles and Rules For e config. Heisenberg uncertainty principle: States that it is impossible to know both the velocity and position of a particle at the same time Afbau Principle: States that each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital available. Hund’s rule: states that single electrons with the same spins must occupy each equal-energy orbital before they pair. Pauli exclusion principle: States that every single e must have different set of quantum numbers.

10. DOT NOTATION Place dots around the element symbol indicating the number of electrons in the last level of energy.
