Electron Configuration. The way electrons are arranged around the nucleus

Electron Configuration

The way electrons are arranged around the nucleus.

Quantum Mechanical Model

1920’s Werner Heisenberg (Uncertainty

Principle) Louis de Broglie (electron has wave

properties) Erwin Schrodinger (mathematical

equations using probability, quantum numbers)

Principal Quantum Number, n

Indicates main energy levelsn = 1, 2, 3, 4…

Each main energy level has sub-levels

Energy Sublevels

s p d f g

The principle quantum number, n, determines the number of sublevels within the principle energy level.

Orbital Quantum Number, ℓ(Angular Momentum Quantum Number)

Indicates shape of orbital sublevels ℓ = n-1

ℓ sublevel0 s1 p2 d3 f4 g

Orbital

The space where there is a high probability that it is occupied by a pair of electrons.

Orbitals are solutions of Schrodinger’s equations.

Orbitals in Sublevels

Sublevel # Orbitals # electronss 1 2p 3 6d 5 10f 7 14g 9 18

Three rules are used to build the electron configuration:

Aufbau principle Pauli Exclusion Principle Hund’s Rule

Aufbau Principle

Electrons occupy orbitals of lower energy first.

Aufbau Diagram

-Pauli Exclusion Principle(Wolfgang Pauli, Austria, 1900-1958)-Electron Spin Quantum Number

An orbital can hold only two electrons and they must have opposite spin.

Electron Spin Quantum Number (ms):

+1/2, -1/2

Hund’s Rule

In a set of orbitals, the electrons will fill the orbitals in a way that would give the maximum number of parallel spins (maximum number of unpaired electrons).

Analogy: Students could fill each seat of a school bus, one person at a time, before doubling up.

Electron Configurations Electrons fill the lowest energy levels first (calcium shown)

Numbers

1, 2, 2Sublevels

Number of electrons in the sub level 2,2,5

1s2 2s2 2p5

Shorthand Notation

Use the last noble gas that is located in the periodic table right before the element.

Write the symbol of the noble gas in brackets.

Write the remaining configuration after the brackets.

Ex: Fluorine: [He] 2s2 2p5
