Orbital Diagrams Chem-To-Go Lesson 9 Unit 2
Electron Configuration • Write the electron configuration for selenium. • Write the noble gas notation for selenium. • Electron configuration: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p4 • Noble gas notation: [Ar]4s23d104p4
What does it mean? Electron configuration: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p4 Coefficients = energy levels Letters (s,p,d,f) = sublevel or shape of cloud Superscripts = electrons Important information about an atom’s electrons: Number of electrons Number of energy levels Number of valence electrons Number of unpaired electrons Number of empty sublevels on an energy level Number of empty orbitals in a sublevel
Drawing Orbital diagrams Electron configuration of Se: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p4 Steps to drawing orbital diagrams: Write the electron configuration. Draw orbitals for each piece of the configuration. Draw electrons into the orbitals. Be sure to follow the rules! s = 1 orbital p = 3 orbitals d = 5 orbitals f = 7 orbitals 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p4
