Chapter 4

“Where do

Electrons

Live?”

We are going to assign ELECTRONS their own addresses.

Where to they live?

Each electron in an atom has its own coordinates.

Just like ships in the ocean use L___________ and L___________ to describe their positions, we are going to assign electrons their

own positions.

First, what are your coordinates?

You are……somewhere in the universe.…in the _________ _____ galaxy…on the planet _______…in the __________ hemisphere…on the _______ _______ continent…in the country of The ______ _______…in the state of __________…in __________ county…in the municipality of _________…on __________ Road…_____ McMurray Road…in the ___ Wing…on the _____ floor…in room ______…sitting in row ____ and in the _____ seatYou will notice that no two students share the same seat at the same time.

This is called Pauli’s Exclusion Principle , but we will talk about that later.

We need to know where each electron is in each atom so we can make chemical bonds in

Chapter 6.This is going to take a while so

you have to play along.

You have a job to do. Your job is assign people their spot in a

bomb shelter. This bomb shelter has many levels that reach deep into the ground and can hold thousands of

people. You must have a system so we know where every

person is and they are spread out as evenly as possible.

Since this bomb shelter has so many levels we are going to place the people who get there first in to the

rooms that are easiest to reach.That is part of our system. It is called the AUF-BAU

PRINCIPLE. Auf Bau, in the German language, means, “Building Up.”

This bomb shelter has a weird shape, a lot of different levels and a lot of different types of

rooms.

This bomb shelter has a weird shape, a lot of different levels and a lot of different types of

This is the first level, it is the easiest to reach so the first people to arrive will be placed here.

This is what an “s” room looks like. It is

a sphere.

This is what an “p” room looks like. It is a peanut

shape. (some people call it a dumbbell shape.)

The “p” shape can also fall along the “y-axis”

It can also fall along the “z-axis”

All of these are “p” shapes, they just face different directions.

We will be using the “d” shapes and the “f” shapes

but they are too mathematically difficult to sketch so we will skip that

part.

One small detail before we start.The “s” shape looks like a sphere so no matter which way you turn it, it

is always the same. When you are playing pool, does it matter which way the cue ball is

oriented or facing when you break? No, you just put it where you want it

and hit it.The “s” shape has one unique

orientation along the x, y, and z axis.

As we saw, the “p” shape can fall along the x-axis, the y-axis, or the

z-axis.The “p” shape has three

orientations along the x, y, and z axis.

The “d” shape has five orientations along the x, y, and z axis.

And the “f” shape has seven orientations along the x, y, and z

axis.

You have to just take this on faith.

Back to placing people in our bomb shelter.Each orientation or position can hold two people so…..

s 1 x 2 2

d 5 x 2 10

f 7 x 2 14

“s” holds 2, “p” holds 6, “d” holds 10, “f” holds 14

Say that three times to yourself.

Bomb ShelterWe have to backtrack to make one

final point

Bomb Shelter

1st Level only holds an “s” shaped area

Bomb Shelter


2nd Level holds an “s” shape and a “p” shape

Bomb Shelter



3rd Level holds an “s” shape, a “p” shape, and a “d” shape

Bomb Shelter




4th Level holds an “s” shape, a “p” shape, a “d” shape and an “f” shape

Bomb Shelter





5th Level holds an “s” shape, a “p” shape, a “d” shape and an “f” shape, also.

1st energy level holds 2, the 2nd energy level holds 8, the 3rd energy level holds 18, and the 4th

energy level holds 32……2, 8, 18, 32

Say that three times to yourself.

Bomb ShelterNow it gets good.

Bomb ShelterThe only thing is that we are not talking about people in a bomb shelter we are

going to discuss electrons in elements on the Periodic Table.

Where does the next electron go?

Lithium Li




In the second energy level, which also has an “s” shape.

Lithium Li




In the second energy level, which also has an “s” shape. So, since lithium has three electrons their

coordinates are Li = 1s22s1

Boron B



We have a 5th electron, where does it go?

It stays in the 2nd energy level but since the “s” shape is full it goes into the “p” shape.

Boron B



We have a 5th electron, where does it go?

It stays in the 2nd energy level but since the “s” shape is full it goes into the “p” shape.

So B = 1s22s22p1
