Electron Configuration Let’s Practice • P (atomic number 15) • 1s22s22p63s23p3 • Ca (atomic number 20) • 1s22s22p63s23p64s2 • As (atomic number 33) • 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p3 • W (atomic number 74) • 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p66s24f145d4 Noble Gas Configuration [Ne]3s23p3 [Ar]4s2 [Ar]4s23d104p3 [Xe]6s24f145d4
Energy Sublevels Labeled s, p, d, or f Based on shape of the atom’s orbitals

Why are d and f orbitals always in lower energy levels? d and f orbitals require amounts of energy It’s better (lower in energy) to that requires a large amount of energy (d and f orbtials) for one in a higher level but lower energy This is the reason for the diagonal rule! LARGE skip a sublevel BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE ARROWS IN ORDER!
Full energy level Full sublevel Half full sublevel Stability
Exceptions Exceptions are explained, but not predicted! Atoms are more stable with half full sublevel • Copper • Expect: [Ar] 4s2 3d9 • Actual: [Ar] 4s1 3d10 • Silver • Expect: [Kr] 5s2 4d9 • Actual: [Kr] 5s1 4d10 • Chromium • Expect:[Ar] 4s2 3d4 • Actual: [Ar] 4s1 3d5 • Molybdenum • Expect: [Kr] 5s2 4d4 • Actual: [Kr] 5s1 4d5
Stability 0 +1 +2 +4 -2 +3 -3 -1 Atoms take electron configuration of the closest noble gas Atoms create stability by losing, gaining or sharing electrons to obtain a full octet Isoelectronic with noble gases
