Chapter 5 Orbital Filling Diagrams and Electron Dot Diagrams
Orbital Filling Diagrams • Orbital filling diagrams illustrate the pairing of the electrons in an atom.
A. General Rules • Pauli Exclusion Principle • Each orbital can hold TWO electrons with opposite spins.
A. General Rules • Hund’s Rule • Within a sublevel, place one e- per orbital before pairing them. • All electrons in singly filled orbitals have the same direction of spin. RIGHT WRONG
2s 2p 1s B. Notation • Orbital Diagram O 8e- • Electron Configuration 1s2 2s22p4
Make the orbital filling diagram for d8 How many of the electrons are unpaired?
Make the orbital filling diagram for f10 How many of the electrons are paired?
Electron Dot Diagrams Step 1: Write the electron configuration
Electron Dot Diagrams Step 2: Determine the number of valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level.
Electron Dot Diagrams Step 3: Write the symbol of the element surrounded by valence electrons. Place one electron on each side before pairing them up.
Preview: Lewis Structures • Lewis structures will not be part of this chapter test but they illustrate a common use of electron dot diagrams.
