What are electron configurations?

According to the wave mechanical model, the electrons in an atom move around in the orbitals surrounding the nucleus.

There are 7 orbitals! They are numbered 1 – 7!

Each orbital has sublevels!

Each sublevel has a certain # of “rooms” that 2 electrons reside in.

s has 1 “room”p has 3 “rooms”d has 5 “rooms”f has 7 “rooms”

How many electrons fit in each sublevel total?

Electron Configurations

Are a way of writing out where all the electrons are in an atom.

It specifies the orbital, sublevel, and how many electrons are in the sublevel.

Rules for writing electron configurations

Pauli exclusion principleEach “room” can hold a maximum of 2

electrons, but they must be spinning in opposite directions.

Aufbau PrincipleElectrons enter orbital in order of increasing

energy.Hund’s Rule

One electron must fill each “room” in a sublevel before there can be 2.
