GroundStateElectronConfiguration Electronsoccupytheorbitals in a similarwaywiththepeople on a bus. Inordertoshowthis, weuseelectronconfiguration. Thearrangement of electrons in an atom is calledtheatom’selectronconfiguration. • Low-energyatomsaremorestablethanhighenergyatoms. • Electrons in an atom tendtoassumethearrangementthatgivesthe atom thelowestenergypossible. • Themoststable, lowestenergyarrangement of electrons is calledthegroundstateelectronconfiguration.
GroundStateElectronConfiguration Thereare 3 rulesthat define howelectrons can be arranged in an atom’sorbitals. AufbauPrinciple ThePauliExclusionPrinciple Hund’sRule • TheAufbauPrinciple: • Theaufbauprinciplestatesthateachelectronoccupiesthelowestenergyorbitalavailable. • Aufbaudiagramshowsthesequence of atomicorbitalsfromlowestenergytohighestenergy • CheckTabe 5.3
ThePauliExclusionPrinciple Electrons in orbitals can be representedbyarrows in boxes. Eachelectron has an associatedspin. An electron can spin in onlyone of twodirections. Arrowuprepresents an electronspinning in onedirection, arrowdownrepresentonespinning in theotherdirection. An emptyboxrepresents an orbitalwithoutelectrons. A boxwithtwoarrowsrepresents a filledorbital
ThePauliExclusionPrinciple ThePauliExclusionPrinciplestatesthat a maximum of twoelectrons can occupy a singleatomicorbitalandthesetwoelectronsmusthaveoppositespins. WolfganPauli (1900-1958) Themaximumnumber of electronsrelatedtoeachprincipalenergylevel is 2n2.

ElectronArrangement Electrons in orbitals can be representedbyarrows in boxes. Eachbox is labeledwiththeprincipalquantumnumberandsublevelassociatedwiththeorbital. Example: Carbon atom has 6 electrons. Initsgroundstatethereare 2 electrons in 1s, 2 electrons in 2s and 2 electrons in 2p.

NIS – CHEMISTRY Lecture 26 Valence Electrons OzgurUnal
Valence Electrons Valence electronsaredefined as electrons in theatom’soutermostorbitals. Example: Sulfur has 16 electrons, 6 of whichare at theoutermostorbitals (3s and 3p). Sulfur has 6 valence electrons. Example: Cesium has 55 electrons, 1 of which is in theoutermostorbital (6s). Cs has 1 valence electron.
Electron-dotStructure AmericanchemistG.N. Lewisdevised a method, calledelectron-dorstructure, toshow an atoms valence electrons. An atom’selectron-dotstructureconsists of theelement’ssymbol, whichrepresentsthenucleusandinner-levelelectrons, surroundedbythe dotsrepresentingall of the atom’s valence electrons.
Electron-dotStructure Example: Sometoothpastescontainstannousfluoride, a compound of tin andfluorine. What is tin’selectrondotstructure? • Example: An atom of an element has total 13 electrons. What is the element, andhowmanyelectronsareshown in itselectron-dotstructure?
