ELECTRONCONFIGURATION
THE QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL
The e- is found inside a blurry “electron cloud”
An area where there is a chance of finding an electron.
Only found with 90% accuracy in the area
WHERE CAN WE FIND ELECTRONS?
Each element has its own e- configuration for its ground state No charges
We base them on where the LAST e- is placed
IT’S LIKE AN ADDRESS…
State – city – street – house # State is called the Principle Energy level City is called the sublevel Street is called the orbital House # is the e- spin direction
PRINCIPLE ENERGY LEVELS
We have 1-7 Highest occupied ground state energy level =
PT period # Main energy levels Bohr found
SUBLEVELS
Each energy level has increasing number of sublevels Level 1 has 1 sublevel Level 2 has 2 sublevels Level 3 has 3 sublevels And so on….
Though 7 major levels…only 4 main sublevels are needed to describe existing atoms
SUBLEVEL
Sublevels are distinguished by the shape of orbitals in them
There are currently four of them s p d f
ORBITALS
In each sublevel there are specific orbitals An Orbital is a 3-D region in space an e- can
be found Does not have “hard and fast” boundaries
See next slide
Each orbital can hold only 2 e- Mathematically found through wave function
WHAT’S GOING ON…
S - SUBLEVEL
1 orbital in this sublevel Sphere shape Total 2 e- possible Same shape in each
level…just bigger Found in ALL energy
levels
p - SUBLEVEL
3 orbitals in this sublevel Dumbbell shaped Total 6 e- Found in Energy Level 2 or Higher Node between each half of each orbital
Intermediate area between high probability areas
d - SUBLEVEL
5 orbitals in this sublevel Clover shape Total 10 possible e- Found in Energy Level 3 or higher.
f - SUBLEVEL
7 orbitals in this sublevel Total 14 e- possible Complex shape Found in Energy Level 4 or higher
ENERGY - SUBLEVEL

4 s, p, d, f
5 s, p, d, f, g
6 s, p, d, f, g, h
7 s, p, d, f, g, h, i
We will only commonly use s, p, d, and f!!
HOW WE WRITE WHERE E- ARE

ELECTRON CONFIGURATION RULES
The way electrons are arranged in atoms. Aufbau principle- electrons enter the
lowest energy first. Must fully fill before move to next This causes difficulties because of the
overlap of orbitals of different energies.
RULES CONTINUED
Pauli Exclusion Principle- no 2 e- can have same set of 4 quantum # at most 2 electrons per orbital - different spins!!
Hund’s Rule- “up, up, up before down, down, down” All orbitals need to be filled w/one “up” spin
(positive--clockwise) before any in the sublevel is filled with a “down” spin (negative--counterclockwise)
DRAWING ORBITAL NOTATION
A box is used to represent each orbital.
Arrows are used to represent each electron.
**remember opposite spins.
Example: the orbital notation for carbon is:
2s1s 2p
ORBITAL NOTATION
Lets try a few: Orbital Notation for O
O = 8 e-
Orbital Notation for Cl Cl = 17e-

WHEN DOING A CONFIGURATION…
Use the total number of e- Slowly place e- in order till run out of e- Example
B 5e- First 2 in 1s2…3 left over Next 2 can go is 2s2 …1 left over Last one goes in 2p, but since only 1 left it is 2p1
Final configuration 1s2 2s2 2p1

TONIGHT’S HOMEWORK
Write out the e- configuration for elements Hydrogen through and including Yttrium
DO NOW:
Box all things written with the HIGHEST PRINCIPLE energy level for each configuration of your homework Ex: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p3
Circle the LAST THING WRITTEN for each configuration of your homework Ex: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6

NOBLE GAS CONFIGURATIONS
In order to save time and your hand when writing out electron configurations, one may use the Noble Gas Notation. A noble gas symbol is used in place of a
long list of electron configurations. Example: Ar: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 = [Ar] Noble Gas Shorthand Configuration for Ca
Ca: [Ar] 4s2
EXAMPLES – NOBLE GAS CONFIGURATIONS
Sr W
Hg
Cl
CHARGED ATOMS
Can do e- configurations for ions, but must make sure to note that that is what you are doing! Same way, just use the number of e- in the
ion involved
